Happy 39th Birthday, Dad!
I know that I promised an extended update
tonight to make up for the short one last night; but I wasn’t thinking about
Dad’s birthday at the time; and can’t do that tonight because I’m only here
long-enough to grab an overnight bag before heading over to Michael’s for the
night.
My involvement in Dad’s birthday fun was
very limited too. I was awake and at the
Inn before he got up for the day; Michael and I were on the way to central
state with a van load of teens after that; and we didn’t get home until late
afternoon. I did call Dad and wish him
the best; and he opened the gift that Michael and I got for him then too; but
the only times I actually saw him was while getting ready to work the dinner
shift and while serving his table for the birthday dinner with his family and
friends. His little dinner party – and Miranda’s
problem of having teens wanting the night off after writing their SAT’s – had everything
to do with why I worked the dinner-to-close shift tonight; and I’m with Michael
tonight while Ethan and Ehlana are doing a sleepover at Naomi’s house – along with
Aiden.
Mom and Dad aren’t home right now – they
moved on from the Inn to Sheldon’s.
While I’d have liked to spend more time with Dad; I’m sure that Mom will
make sure that he has a happy end to his special day.
I’m going to have some fun with Michael
too, since his parents have gone on to the pub for that part of Dad’s party
too; so now I’m just wondering why I’m still here doing this instead of getting
over to Michael’s house so we can get started on that quality make-out time!
I’ve no good answer for that; so, until
next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
