Mediocre Week

The last week has been a non-interesting week. Work, extra work, and just biding time. I miss my woman and the highlight has been talking to her every day. She has a wonderful mind, so that has been very nice to get to know a bit of. We had a fun day last Sunday, so that was at least a good start to the week.

I put in my 40 hours and then some. I started Monday working 9AM-11PM. Overtime is always a good thing. I also had some side computer work that filled up two evenings.

The next highlight to the week was picking up my girls on Friday evening. We had a nice weekend planned. We went to a local diner for dinner that they loved. The desserts were huge and thankfully I split one with my youngest. Later on Saturday we went to Sleepy Hollow, a local fun area with go-karts, batting cages, miniature golf, and other fun activities. My youngest almost made it to the very top of the climbing wall, which was amazing to watch. My oldest drove a go-kart with the youngest by her side while I lapped them twice in the fastest kart on the track. It was fun racing around with co-workers at this work related outing. We left after 100 minutes and went to softball practice.

The fall softball season starts tomorrow night. Only 5 of us showed up at practice, but it was thrown together last minute and it looks like we will be practicing once a week in this more competitive season. There are only 6 teams and we have a solid lineup as we pared down our summer team to the best players only. I hope we do well like we did last fall.

I began this week on the wrong foot. I ticked off my woman a bit with a poor choice of words. I hope we make it threw the growing pains ok. The beginning of all relationships is tough things. In a state of bliss, you can tend to overlook things and make beginner mistakes. It's tougher as you get older, too, because your tolerance for some things is less. As you get older, you know more about yourself and what you want for the rest of your life. It's tough to bring someone into your life after the life experiences that can harden the heart. I think we will work through the small stuff just fine, though. There are so many great things about the way we interact and get along that something as small as this should pass quick as we look forward to seeing each other again. I try to be optimistic anyway.

The girls and I have a swim party this afternoon for the summer softball players. We will grill out a bit and just have fun interacting with the others. My girls are looking forward to it.

Now to go get some laundry done...
