A Relaxing Weekend... SIKE!

So... this past weekend was my weekend with Sun (my 5 year old). For those of you that don't know I spend every waking moment with my son during the week (when he is not in school). His dad normally gets him on the weekend. I have grown accustomed to this, because our weekday gets so hectic a lot of the time. The weekend is normally my time to recharge and prepare for the next week.


No "recharging" for me this weekend! I love my son... seriously... there is nothing that I would not do for him. He is my life. I am not married or even in a relationship for that matter, and he serves as my EVERYTHING! Saying A L L that to say... Boy, he really had me going this weekend.


We started the weekend out (Friday) babysitting, then we headed home and I cleaned up to the wee hours of the morning while he slept. Saturday morning found us gassing up and washing my car. We then headed to Denny's for brunch (his pick- he LOVES the smiley face pancakes ;o), after that I went to the gym to workout (he played in the Kid's Club). We then headed home to meet up with my friend and her 3 year old daughter. I changed clothes and we headed to a restaurant to eat (very kid friendly with lots of sand, slides, and shovels). I have to pause and talk about the restaurant experience...



Dissection:


The restaurant we went to had LOTS of families there. One big observation was the fact that while all the children were playing in the sand, mothers and fathers alike were sipping on their favorite alcoholic beverages. Most of the mothers could be seen with a smiling child in one hand and a margarita in the other. Fathers were watching from a far while sipping on a beer. Everyone was happy and smiling! I bet you know why... most of them were drunk out of their mind! Now don't get me wrong, I am not condoning drinking while parenting. I just noticed that at this place the parents found a happy medium. I thought that it was interesting because I only "hang out" when my son is away. I never attempt to mix "grown up" with "kid" fun. I guess I got a lesson from all the mothers of Southwest Houston on Saturday. Boy, what a time!



Back to Saturday...

We ended the night at a carnival (after we left the restaurant). After the carnival we went home, bathed and went to bed. We woke up on Sunday and went to church. After church we went to the mall, ate and Sun played at the play area there. We stopped by blockbuster and rented a movie, then headed home for a nap!



That was a lot for me, I am used to having a relaxing weekend... this was everything but. I will say I had a BLAST hanging out with my son nonetheless.



Well... my next post will be juicy so stay tuned!



The End.
