THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23RD
This has been an emotionally draining week. So while Big Funny Kid took a study break to go to dinner with Dad, I slipped over to D-Gang's house for a visit. I brought 2 chickens and some brown rice and some quiche and some cheese and some flatbread crackers and some pita and some hummus and some salami and some noodles and some vegetables and some dip and some bread.
The strange collection of food was rather symbolic of my scattered mind - and the goal of the visit which was to spread all kinds of things that were rolling around in my head and offer them up for us to graze upon. And of course we did. While her 5,000 children and 3,000 dogs ran around the smorgasbord of food and conversation.
There were 2 bodily fluid accidents (thankfully neither of which were mine) and a couple of time outs. Dogs were let in and let out. And so were thoughts and opinions and kind words.
I know *I* felt better.
When I got home she sent me a message - "Sorry there was more chaos than usual."
Psssht - I hadn't noticed. I was there for the company! And I left with the re-charge that I needed. In fact, I think chaos may be a part of why I like these little visits.
You bring food like I have 3000 kids and you never feed my dogs. They get super wound up when you are here and we are all fighting for your attention. I want to go back to meeting you at Marks.
ReplyDeleteBTW- both dogs and kids get wound up when you are here.
