While we’ve been a couple for 21 years, it was our 13th wedding anniversary yesterday. A rainy, stormy, muggy hot & humid day. We’re still both exhausted from our youngest’s birthday party from the weekend so we have opted to celebrate between ourselves at a slightly later date. Like next week, after all the school stuff is complete. My wife has her school’s Graduation Ceremony tonight, so it just makes sense for us to push a dinner & night out to a time that better suits us. Which is great, no need to be under the gun to perform on that day, which was a very busy Monday after all. I know – so romantic! My skin is still singing from the weekend sunburn, so I’ll take a welcome respite while I can get it.
I know that right out of the gate, like midway through this saturday morning my kids will be hollering “I’m bored!”, expecting us to have an action packed schedule set for them with things to do. But, ace in the hole, I think we’ll be far more inclined to go bowling, to the movies, wander a far away mall, hit up Wonderland, or find a glow in the dark mini putt, or rock climbing place this year, than any other year before. I realize COVID is still very much a thing, but with suitable respirators on, there is no reason we can’t go and do stuff this year. Plus the kids are older, ever so slightly more self reliant, and we can do more adventurous stuff every now & again. Not every day, mind you, but we can do something out of the ordinary before swimming lessons pick up in mid or late July. I for one am pumped! Go team!
Take it easy, it’s only Tuesday!
