Good Weekend
Nov. 20th, 2006 01:13 pmFriday was pretty quiet, eventually went out for a late dinner run around midnight.
Slept in on Saturday but got woken up by my son's father picking him up. He had to come in to talk over the details of when he's going to be having him over the holidays. He has traditionally been invited (and has come) to my family gatherings (I think most of them feel bad for him that he doesn't usually have a place to go). He let me know that in no uncertain terms, he is not going to be coming because of a comment that I made about him. He said that he's given me plenty of opportunity for me to apologize to him and I haven't so he doesn't want to be around me.
My first thought is "yippeee!" as long as he continues to be there for our son, I don't frankly care what he chooses to do or not. I also tried to explain to him that I don't remember telling him that I would talk to him about it. I also believe that by not attending the holidays only hurts himself. It's probably really healthy that he not attend these if it's me that keeps him from it(It is after all, my family). It's like he's going to pout and stomp his feet because I haven't apologlized to him over a comment and now he's "...going to show me..." and not go to MY family's holiday. whatever! He's only hurting our son and himself.
Saturday was pretty low key but in the evening we did go to R and J's for a party. It was suppose to be an "adult toy party" but because aproximately 50% of the folks didn't want to come, it was canceled and we all just got together. It was good. We left late but still was able to...
Got up for church on Sunday, it was early and we had stayed up way too late the night (or should I say morning)before. As I figured we'd be late anyways, we took the back roads which was really nice. These were the roads that I drove with my Dad a few weeks ago when I drove him home after he brought me his "old" car.
Yes, we were late for church, no seats left, turns out it was the intergenerational service (kids didn't go to their classrooms) which the thought bored me intially but there was a dedication which was really neat. I love the dedications of the babies/children especially when the whole entire family comes to welcome in this new and precious life. It makes me cry, I'm such a marshmallow. We did go around the entire congregation passing the pipe and saying what we were thankful for. I was thankful that after just over a year ago, my sister donated one of her kidney's to my Dad and they are both doing well.
P wasn't feeling well after church so I dropped her home before going to coffee with the local group. It was nice and I came home and putzed around. Vacuumed my stairs and than ran to the store to pick up fixings for chili that P was going to make. Yum.
Today I woke up fine but by the time I left the house, my neck had a crick in it. I find myself holding my neck weird. I do have a chiro appointment next Monday, I hope I can hold out long enough. My guess is that some more emotional stuff has moved.
I also had an appointment with the TIA-CREF guy to go over my investments, including the ones from prior employment. It seems that I'm right on target for retirement. This makes me happy! Let's hope I'm around for retirement. Let's hope there is some sort of health insurance for when I do retire. I'm looking forward to that...
