Sunday was a pretty mellow day.
Carl got the jump on me and spoke with his mother before I was even downstairs.
Called my Mom, and learned a few things that I did not know.
Bullfights and baseball games! Who knew?
Went out to breakfast. I like going out to breakfast. Good food and no dishes.
Then it was a chance to chat with my kids (separately).
Skyped with Rey. His life just sounds busy. The Smokies game was rained out that day, but not until game-time, so not quite a day off. (He wore his tarp clothes home, because one of his first duties in the morning would be to take the tarp back off the field.)
Chatted on the phone with Ashlan as she travelled home from the Mariner’s game – in New York City. We somehow got onto the subject of goals. She is so S.M.A.R.T.. That is she was telling me about SMART goals. Funny thing is I just learned about SMART goals in the past year. Maybe it is the new “in” thing, but they really do seem to work. (And I can remember the acronym – Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Realistic and Timely.) Ashlan’s goal work had to do with making sandwiches. Mine had to do with responding to emergencies.
Calling home on Mother’s day is a time-honored tradition. But perhaps it has lost some of its luster with cell phones in the mix. Not that talking with your mother can be overdone. However, I remember some Mother’s Days when getting an open line after several busy signals was a real accomplishment.
And here is a mother to be that I ran into at work today.
She obliged me to take her picture.
This is a Mama to be. She did not move for the minute that I was trying to get a picture.
