I Sat in my car, and contemplated...

I contemplated not going into to work, even though I had just drove the 50 miles to get there, I contemplated not going to church to do the RA thing. I contemplated a lot today. I feel like I haven't seen my family except in 30 minute spurts all week. Monday, there was a mad rush of calls that kept me at work until five meaning it was six before I got home. Tuesday I had gathering of the guys that started at six which means I came home at five changed clothes and left. Today, well it was work and then off to church after seeing my family a grand total of 45 minutes. Tomorrow there will be no delays, Mr. B is making it known in his 3 year old way that he is not happy about how this week has gone. I'm making up for it, he and I are camping out here in blog central station/ recording studio Friday night, if the weather is nice and not too windy we're going to start a campfire outside and roast marshmallows, yes in 90 degree weather. Then we're watching a movie and then a rare 10 o'clock bedtime for me. We'll be up no later than 7 Saturday, he'll make sure of that. The thing is I'm looking forward to this, I feel like I'm a kid again when he and I are hanging out. There is no work, there is no family duty, just trains, games, movies and lots of laughing about boy stuff. Made up words that make us laugh repeatedly when we say them, gases that emit from all the wrong places that make us laugh harder, and my wife, ever the mom, rolling eyes and telling us to calm down. I can't wait for Friday. On another note, next week is graduation week around here, I'm going to post a story everyday from my Junior High/High School days. I have been thinking about this a lot, what stories I want to tell, looking back I see things that happened that made me turn out the way I did. I think this will be very therapeutic for me.
