I know, funny guy, "just two?" you're slipping... har har har... Any who... I didn't post yesterday because I couldn't get Bubba off the computer, after balancing the checkbook I have no idea WHAT he was doing all day but he wasn't bothering me -so have it honey. I enjoyed the sun from inside and out of the "breeze" bringing wind chills and basically freezing things that shouldn't be cold in MAY!! (like me!)
Sunday overall a good day, putzed about most of the day, read my book, went shopping, planned my weekly meals and actually cooked dinner for Bubba homemade sauce, meatballs, (thanks Mom) and I actually cleaned the kitchen. As I didn't the night before, then noticed the ants came out to play so it was a double edges sword between lazy and ick. Ick over came and I got the kitchen clean - but you KNOW what was in my clean sink this AM... you know it; it's now in the dishwasher-the magic fairy strikes again.
Now where does the two minds of this post come into being? Right about now... we have a story of Sunday, Mother's Day... I texted Bubba as he was out getting good bagels and debating a car wash, to remember to call his Mama. I talked to my Mama, all good, gossip, chat, the usual - we don't need a holiday. ;-)
Now Bubba did call his mama, it's not like he had to do anything else - I made sure there were flowers at her home with the usual heartwarming note "Happy Mother's Day" ;-)
So he calls, and she's out with her usual Sunday 'date' with a girl friend and could she call him back? Ok, cool fine, she out - no problem. Right? then I get to thinking - isn't that a bit selfish? I mean it's not like you see him all that often but on the other hand she knows he's calling just because it's Mother's Day and she's probably given it a passing thought that his wife made sure he did... plus he's not the world's best conversationalist and he does get that tone... where exactly was I going with this?
Cripes my head hurts.
I've talked myself out of this 3 times, no it's not selfish to want to be home or in a place where she can talk to her son, give her undivided attention and not have to hurry him along or explain anything to the gal sitting at the table, not to mention the rude factor of taking the call while with someone else... Plus that is probably the only time in her week that she doesn't feel pulled in several directions, most of which her own making, but it is a release she probably desperately needs - so who am I to knock it?
OK climbing down from that knobbly high horse ... it is Monday. Heaven only knows what this week will bring. I frankly am seriously considering some kind of chant or Gris-Gris to sprinkle over this project and it's schedule so we don't have ANOTHER weekly major delivery. Because I don't care if there are flames coming out the back of the computer and the customer is blaming our software - I'm not working Friday afternoon. I have a free ticket, I'm going to enjoy some serious one on one time with Robin of the Hood. Yes boys and girls - Russell Crowe. 'nuf said no? And no I won't be going with Bubba. This is Aunt Ing time - and let's just leave it at that shall we? I will gush later... :-)
Now I've got stuff to finish work wise - I've got a meeting tonight and must cook something for Bubba because he can't figure out how to do it himself - and frankly this is easier --- trust me.
Final note for today... Go Pens. Also 'nuf said. These games are killing me. I would be wrong to shout "Yes!" during my meeting -- I will refrain myself. Mostly.
Enjoy your Monday and will someone please tell Mother Nature its May! Cripes had to turn the heater on in car this morning!!
now where did I put that aspirin... and the boss isn't even here yet..
Hey - I have Friday afternoon off too! Where are you going? Email me and we'll make plans... and maybe have to have some cheesecake to go with our beefcake? :-)
