The Good Ol' Days

I've had a busy weekend and I'm sad that tomorrow is Monday and back to the normal routine called work. Friday I chaperoned on Sara's school field trip to Kennedy Space Center. Was fun. Saturday I drove an hour and half to visit my friend who had her first baby 3 weeks ago. He was sooo little! I don't remember Sara being that little so I asked her how much he weighed and he was 7 lbs something. Well that totally explained why I don't remember Sara that little becuz she popped out at 9 lbs! Ow! Can you believe I delivered a 9 lb baby naturally? I am woman!

My next stop in the same area an hour and half away from home was to see my BFF of 21 years. She was at a resort with her BF, his son and her parents. From 6th grade thru 12th grade her parents were my second set of parents. We were always together. Her home was mine and my home was hers. It was GREAT seeing her and her family since now that we have those adult responsibilites we don't get to see each other often. And it's been years since I've seen her parents. We talked and talked and talked and talked. Her mom finally talked me into staying overnight. So finally at 12:30am I agreed. An hour and half drive at night would not be too safe. Joe was not happy since he wanted me home before dark. Since he wasn't answering my calls I knew he wasn't happy. I finally got home this morning at 9:30am but he was out golfing and since he got home I'm getting the silent treatment. Oh well. I really don't care. Sara (my BFF--can you see where I got my daughter's name? :-) has been there thru thick and thin for 21 years and since it averages I only see her once a year, it's worth this silent treatment I will get for a day or two.

Being with her and her family brought back so many memories. It was almost like we were back in junior high taking a family vacation. Her dad making silly jokes; her mom laughing with us; her dad making sure we eat. lol. We both even slept on the pull out couch bed, talking and giggling half the night. Other than knowing Joe was upset, I was able to put all my adult responsibilities aside and enjoy being "young" again. Ah...to be 13 again...
