Well. The Christmas decorations are down and put away so I guess that means the holidays are officially over. Boooooooo!! It was back to reality for 2/3 of the Goedel house this past week. Mom went back to work on Monday. Not too painful. I went back to school on Wednesday. Not too painful. Dad was supposed to go back to work on Tuesday. Waaaaaaayyyyy to painful. So he put it off to Wednesday. Wednesday rolled around and it was still toooo painful so he put it off to Thursday. Thursday rolled around and no dice. Still too much to contemplate. Dad has a soul sucking job in case you haven't guessed. He had Friday off anyway so he got to enjoy a week on his own, playing video games, golfing, and just generally relaxing. Oh. And he bought a new car. Just little things like that. Dad is a car guy and we were all kind of surprised by how long it took him to get another one. He has been looking for months and months and could not decide between a family friendly SUV or a sporty convertible. He and I were chatting about it one day (because my parents discuss all important decisions with me) and I said "Dad. We already HAVE a family car and an RV. Why do we need ANOTHER family car?" And the decision was made. Dad came home with a convertible BMW. Yeah! I was really pushing for the fun car and I love it. Mom loves it too. She has a little bit of a lead foot and fortunately, this car is fast. Or unfortunately depending on how you look at it.
On Friday, I got dropped off at school and mom ran some errands and then she and dad had a Date Day. The headed out in the fun car, with the top down because the weather was so nice and went out for brunch. They decided that working stinks and it's time to start buying lottery tickets.
As I mentioned earlier, my return to school was not too painful. I had intramural basketball on Thursday and once again, I was the only girl. Thankfully, being a 5th grader, I was the big kid and I'm pretty good friends with the other 5th grade boys so they were nice to me.
Our weekend was pretty low keyed and we are maybe, just maybe a little bored? On Saturday, we headed down to a home show. Dad got some free tickets to get us in and boy are we glad we didn't pay. It was about the lamest thing ever. They did have two tiny houses on display and dad was getting ideas but mom put the big kabash on living in a tiny house.
Sunday was yard work, batting practice for me, play time for Ginger, golfing for Dad and the driving range for mom. A calm day, getting us ready for the real return to reality tomorrow. Hope you all have a fabulous week!
