Just finished a 2.5 hour dinner at home with my wife and the kids. A fantastic time that will not be replicated for months. Yes, we'll all be together next weekend for my daughter's college graduation, but restaurant dinners are not the same as hanging at home where we can laugh as loud as we want and not be under any pressure to either leave or order another course.
My game plan for the balance of the evening is to hang out with everyone and hit the hay around 11 so that I can hopefully get a good night's sleep that will have me energized for tomorrow when I have lots to do. The guest count is now up to 28 adults and my two 7 year old nephews.
Once again it will be a sober day/evening; I've drank close to a gallon (3.8 L) of water/seltzer today so I'm well hydrated. Life goes better when I've done so as it does when I hit put my head on my pillow sober.
A happy Mother's Day to all who celebrate the holiday!
