  • Dating Mom


    Today it was Tucker's turn.  He's been looking forward all week long to his special time with Mom.  So excited, in fact, that I've been feeling really guilty about not doing this before.  Sure enough, the first thing he asked me at lunch was "why didn't I get to have special time with you when we lived in Indiana?"  We had a blast though.


    He wanted to have shrimp and we wound up at Red Lobster.  I had forgotten what their kid menu was like though, so next time, I'll try some place different.  He had a good time pointing out the fish on the wall, the fish on the fabrics, and "Oh, Mom, LOOK, My finger is wet."


    "Well, I wonder how that happened?"


    "It happened when I stuck it in the tank with the lobsters."


    After lunch we wound up in .... the bookstore.    Is anyone surprised?  He picked out a book for himself and one for Michael.  We found a birthday card for a friend.  And I listened to dozens of samples from Rod Stewart CD's trying to find the one song that's been stuck in my head for months, only I can't remember the words or the title.  It's NOT Sailing, but it has something about sailing in the chorus, I need to go talk to SpecificOcean don't I?  Anyway, we are home now and he's happily telling his brother and cousins all about his treat. 


    He told them that he's learning about "women and dating".  o_O  Truly, though, I think that's a really cool idea.  Going out with Mom is teaching him things like holding the door, being attentive to your companion and other little things that will make him appreciated by that woman out there (I know, right now she's a tiny little girl with no idea how important she's going to be in my future) that I'll be handing him over to some day. 


    I hope your weekend is going as well and that you're getting in some important dating time whether its with your sweetheart, your child, or your Mom.

  • I got time in with everyone in the house today.  No dates but there was small talk.

    I'm glad you and Tucker had a nice date.  You know, I smile now everytime I think of him.  Dang.  What a kid.

  •   Finger in the tank.  Hee hee.  Yeah...Tucker never lets me down.  Good tales, good tales.   

  • oh...i almost forgot...
    are these the rod stewart lyrics you're thinking of??

    Oh, rhythm of my heart
    is beating like a drum
    with the words "I Love you"
    rolling off my tongue.
    No never will I roam,
    for I know my place is home.
    Where the ocean meets the sky,
    I'll be sailing.

    The song's called Rhythm of My Heart
