I had an enormous task today: entertain Bubba and keep him out of trouble on his spring break.
Our task list:
1. Eat breakfast at McDonalds early in the AM. No kids were on any of the Playland equipment. Run, dance and sing in there with reckless abandon. Why not?
2. Go on errands with Mom, which included checking out all the spice blends and providing commentary for other customers: "Oh! Mom, this Greek one sounds interesting." as he read the information on the shelf.
3. Visit the library AND the bookstore. We went out of the way to a different library, so this was a fun diversion. The bookstore moved some of his favorite books, so we went searching for them, and he's been reading it all day.
4. Go to lunch with Mom, don't order anything, but eat about half of her lunch. "Wow, salmon is pretty good."
5. Visit relatives who also happen to be off. Fun times when your retired great aunt gives you the remote control and you watch every cartoon you can.
I enjoyed that, because I could talk without interruption.
6. Come home and help Mom make dinner and dessert.
I didn't do all the things I wanted today (or this weekend), but I did do one thing. I had fun with my family.
Stay tuned...
