Once In A Blue Moon Sort Of Day
Today was oddly surreal. It felt like for one day, just one day, I was living someone else's life. Someone normal, without my basket case family and my nut house issues.
It started out so normal. Marlow woke up at 10, later then normal, but the time change has thrown her routine out the window! We hung out at home, she had a short nap at noon and I just read a book and did some housework.
Then Joey got home and asked if I minded if he went to the driving range. I told him I didn't mind as long as he was willing to drop me, Kongo(the dog) and Marlow at the dog park. He said no problem.
So he left us there, and we began our walk. He text me ten minutes later to tell me that the course had opened up early and if I minded if he played a quick 9. He said it would only be an hour or so.
It was soooo beautiful out, +10 today! I told him to go ahead. Well, the game turned out to be almost three hours! But, I didn't care. Normally I would of found myself getting cross, but it didn't seem to matter.
Not with the sun beating on my face, the wind blowing my hair, my daughter laughing at all the dogs and my own dog actually behaving. So I walked for almost three hours. Talking to whomever wanted to talk, meeting other parents, other pet owners.
Then when Joey shows up, instead of being his usual defensive self, he tells me that because he ran late he's taking me out to supper. That NEVER happens! And he tells me that the couple from his work he was golfing with, will be joining us. I like the couple. They are really nice and so much fun and they don't seem to mind that we have an infant daughter and are limited in some of our activities. They adjust to accomodate Marlow. We have been doing more and more with them lately.
So we go for supper. And it's fun. Lots of laughter, good food, Marlow was still in a good mood! And she made the older gentleman behind us smile like crazy.
We come home and Joey gets his lunch ready for work....and cleans up after himself! That also never happens. Then, my computer has been on the fritz, and suddenly today it fixes itself!
What a good day. Makes me nervous about tomorrow though!
