(part six)


kohi closes tonight at:

9

the ugly:

n/a

the bad:

i left for the church too early for whatever meltdown happened between the girls and sarah, but i know it was bad enough for sarah to send me this google chat, "my kohi is currently at 2". not a good way for mother's day to start. i think we helped her rebound from it, though. i hope so.

the good:

limbo is on a streak of really engaging conversations. this morning, we talked about our emotional response to the death of a figurehead and our emotional response to all the other emotional responses. it was good enough that we'll probably pick up where we left off next week. we don't do that much.

joseph showed up for the first time in many a week for limbo. he was received with something akin to a "norm!!!" from cheers greeting. limbo, where everybody knows your name.

lunch with joseph and marie and the girls was nice. we continued the conversation from limbo a little bit and enjoyed being together as a sextet for the first time in ages.

backed up my 4.5 mile run friday with another one this afternoon.

no evening activities (for some reason) meant i could lock up after the run and not drive back to the church tonight.

the great:

mother's day dinner at cajun steamer. really, we could not have asked the girls to be ANY better at dinner. they were wonderful. we ate outside per hannah's request. the girls sat on bar stools and ate their dinner together. for about 15 minutes, it almost felt like sarah and i were alone. we didn't really know what to do with the freedom, so we just ate our food before it got cold and didn't have any ketchup flung in our face. good, good times.

commentary:

church, television, sports. not one of three (i don't really consider limbo church. it's not deserving of the poor personal connotation) played any bearing on the kohi today, which is incredible and rare. for the first day in a long, long time, it felt like an off day, a day that we did a lot of things that we wanted to do. no pointless meetings. no wal-mart. just family and friends. goodness. i wish for more days like today.
