(part eleven)


tonight, the kohi is going to close at:

8

the ugly:

n/a

the bad:

day two of being a single dad. i'll feel the full brunt of the single dad thing tomorrow, but, every time i do this, i have such an overwhelming sense of awe at what my mom did for me and my brother. granted, she was married to someone more often than she wasn't, but that doesn't count for shit when it comes to child-rearing. at least, it didn't in my house. my mom did everything. made sure we were taken care of as best she knew how. i appreciate that, even if i don't appreciate her as much as i should now. sarah is missed in many ways when she's gone, but the sheer thought of knowing your partner in crime is in town and around to help is so, so comforting.

good god, i hate to blog whine, but i don't know how long it's been since i suffered through a case of the "fridays" like i did today. i smelled the weekend when i got to the store this morning, and the day dragged out of spite.

the good:

the girls were great again this morning. no issues with getting ready or their respective drop-offs. like champs they were. like champs.

after a horrible run on tuesday and one worse than that wednesday, today was more like it. 4.66 consecutive miles in just over 46 minutes and i felt like i could have kept going. i didn't, though, because we had to get to...

fajita friday. tonight, amy and katie joined the girls and me for our meal of mexican proportions. good food. fun company. we could have stuck around and kept visiting, but we didn't because we had to get to...

best buy. why? to purchase justin bieber: never say never. we came home and watched about half the movie and i love jb even more than i already did. the kid just sweated talent before his mom and grandparents even knew what to call it. i love jb. love him. will be rooting for a musical career akin to justin timberlake. he's that good.

another good bedtime routine. caroline fell asleep to jb, so i got to carry her upstairs like a princess. a sweet end to a pretty sweet night.
