Out of town trip this past weekend. First trip away from the baby. Wifey and I celebrated another year of marriage. This whole thing never gets old. There are TOO many variables. Marriage isn't something you master and then it's smooth sailing from then on. The dynamics are constantly changing and you must be in tune with these changes and do your best to keep up. Sometimes you need to do more and then there are times when you need to fall back and relax. If you don't have your eyes open, you'll miss your cues. Once you continue to miss cues, things can go all sorts of ways at that point. Whew! It's exhausting just talking about it.
My baby girl seemed to do well while we were away. When we got back she was excited to see us though. She ran and ran and ran around the house. Let her granny tell it, she hadn't been that hyper the entire weekend. The irony: We enjoyed our time away, but wondered if she missed us. But her missing us too much would've made our time less enjoyable. Us humans and our weird ways!
Mondays are tough because typically I've been with the family all weekend then I have to head to work. I feel like everyone has the same sentiments. They would've been perfectly fine with another day without seeing our Monday morning mugs.
While we were waiting for a table this weekend, Wifey and I were both on Instagram looking at pictures. This old man with his wife decided to playfully tease us because we were on our phones and not talking to one another. He joked how soon none of us will have social skills because everyone will be texting. I totally understand his thought process and I agree. The irony of the situation is his old ass wasn't talking to his wife either! He probably was mad because didn't have a smartphone. I love to see the older folks smiling when they know their quip was dead on. I'll be exactly the same way.
Sometimes when you win, you really lose and sometimes when you lose, you really win. Honesty with one's self will give you the proper perspective and help you deal with each scenario.
