Well, folks...it finally happened. For once in my life, I actually thought about my words before I spoke. And it turns out, I didn't even speak. I just kept my mouth shut and stewed silently.
I know. I'm just as shocked as you are. Have no fear though, it was short-lived. When my "boss" asked me if I wanted to join a big group of my co-workers at Screams tonight (waaaaaaaay after the fact, mind you), I declined. When he questioned it, I said, "I see enough of y'all during the week. Anything after 2:00 pm is my time, and I choose my kids." Whoops! Only, not really whoops. It got several laughs, and it took a minute or two for others to piece that one together. I'm still laughing about it, actually.
N and I hit Redbox and the soda aisle at Market Street, then spent a good 10 minutes debating over selections on the ice cream aisle. We ended up with little containers of Homemade Vanilla, Butter Crunch, Pistachio Almond, and Strawberries & Homemade Vanilla. He enjoyed a Sunkist float tonight for his Friday treat, while I enjoyed a Big Red Zero. We live it up around here.
He turned on Battleship (his Redbox choice) but I was entertaining his baby brother (E came to visit for a few hours again) and then reading my Kindle after he left. Yes, I should've been doing my homework, but eating stew and reading a mindless novel was much more appealing. Besides, there's always tomorrow...
Speaking of tomorrow, it is my goal in life to buy N new shoes tomorrow. He was thrilled about this announcement tonight, and I was reminded how nice it is when it's just the two of us...you know, when he's not having an attitude. I realize these "non-attitude" moments will become fewer and further between as he gets older, so I really cherish them when they come along. They seem to coincide with the times where he's getting something out of the deal. Shocker.
I listened to the Eli Young Band the entire way to work, and I can honestly say I adore them. They really know how to capture bits and pieces of everyone with their music. It was a relatively happy commute today. OH! Creeper alert: I was on the phone with a patient today and as I was finishing entering my notes while he was on the phone, he said to hold on a minute while he rubbed himself dry. He then proceeded to start moaning and groaning and panting. I was horrified! He came back on the phone, apologized for taking so long and THEN started saying I sounded sexy and he bet I was beautiful and THEN started to talk about entirely inappropriate things in a very detailed manner. I told him I had to go, and hung up. That ranked pretty high on my creep factor, but (sadly) it wasn't the highest. I did feel compelled to take a shower.
In an unrelated event a couple of hours later, one of my youngish (creeplike) co-workers looked at me, winked, and licked his lips, and it took all of my self-restraint to not kick him. Obviously, I'm entirely mature. And I really don't get why this always happens to me.
On that note, I'm going to cuddle under my covers with the windows open and enjoy this weather while it lasts. And tomorrow, I'm going to enjoy my kid-free night, followed by the Light the Night walk on Sunday with my family because that's what matters. And by "enjoy my kid-free night" I really mean, I'll more than likely be bored out of my mind in three hours or less....because that's usually how it works.
