Andrew and I had a nice breakfast this morning with my sister, Tara and her husband, Erik at Morin’s. Andrew was very excited to enjoy hot dogs (sausages) and eggs with his Aunt and Uncle. It was nice to have breakfast together and catch up. Andrew was his usual impish self which is entertaining. Stressful for me at times but entertaining.
We went home and watched a couple of shows together. I was going to take Andrew up to Patriot place but as soon as I drove around the block he fell asleep. I figured I would go home and put him into bed and try and get some shuteye for myself. Bad idea. Andrew slept for a few hours and I laid down with my eyes closed for an hour and a half and no sleep would come. Can’t ever win. On the days when I am falling down asleep he’s wide awake and when he sleeps peacefully for a couple of hours I got no sleep to speak of.
Tonight Allison and I went to a mini meetup with four of my former classmates and friends from my eighth grade class. We were also joined by one of the spouses. We met up at Natty Green’s Tavern for drinks and food. Natty Green’s is a place that I have wanted to go to ever since it opened. I think it has been open for two years and this was our very first visit. I am pretty sure that we will be back.
It was so nice to get to catch up with friends and trade stories as to what we are up to today. We were there for a couple hours and when we all stood to go, then, then we went and started in with the nostalgia stories. I think if we sat back down we would have still been there talking over those things that we went through during our time in grade school. That is what happens when you spend every day for 6-8 years together in a small class of students. We do catch up with each other on Facebook but it is so much better to sit down over food and talk and enjoy being together. Continue reading SMSH Class of ’88 Mini Meetup→
