It's Tuesday,
I'm in Houston. Jackson's in Houston. Katie's in Ohio. You know what
that means: Yep, I grilled a big fat steak last night, topped it with
a whole package of sliced, sautéed mushrooms and skipped the
veggies.
I always eat
good / terrible (depending on how you look at it) when Katie's out
of town! Anyway, things are all well with Jackson. He doesn't really
seem to know that Katie's not here -- I think he just thinks it's
one, long day and Mommy's just not home from work yet.
The dog, well
that's another thing. She walked all around the house for hours last
night looking for Katie. And the cats -- well, they're just happy
I gave them their soft food and that they got more pillows to sleep
on in the bed.
Me? I've said
it before: when Katie's out of town, I really come to appreciate how
much she means to me and impacts my life. She really is everything
to me. Things just aren't as much fun and don't have as much meaning
when she's not around.
I really love
her. Hopefully I can take a few moments in the busy Mother's Day activities
to show her how much I really appreciate what she does and who she
is, just between she and I.
Anyway, enough
of that. Mothers' Day is this weekend and we're all going to The Four
Seasons for brunch at 12:30. Should be interesting -- big crowd this
year, with extra babies in tow! We'll survive, but I'm sure The Four
Seasons will make us leave a deposit . . .
Well, that's
this coming weekend, but what about last weekend? Really all we did
was kick back around the house and relax. I grilled some chicken on
the patio on Saturday evening and we sat outside with Jackson until
it was time for him to go to bed. Then we ate, had a few beers and
tried to stay up to watch the West Coast Astros game -- I went to
bed in the 2nd after Shane Reynolds gave up a Grand Slam and made
it 6 to 1. Good call, too -- we lost miserably.
Sunday we got
up early, went to Mass and then got doughnuts and took them to Carolyn's.
The rest of the day, we just fiddled around and got ready for Katie
to go out of town.
So that about
wraps it up for another week -- Have a good one!
