Spontaneous Dinner at the Park....




I had a hectic day at work... too much to do, all needed to be done today, and as much as I accomplished, there will be complaints tomorrow.  It's very frustrating.  My entire hour-long drive home, I blasted my radio with a very strange montage of tunes - Jesse's Girl (Rick Springfield), Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica, rap.... didn't matter.  I was in many moods.  So, I got a wild hair and texted Mike.  A spontaneous moment for me - rare....  So, we hopped in the car as soon as I got home, ran and got some fried chicken and other goodies and headed for a park in Lawrence.  I tried to enjoy myself.  Love watching my own children have fun, but have a hard time not following them around with germ spray.  Plus, the "mommies" were there with their brood and it kind of spoiled my mood.  But, the kids had fun and that's was what was important to me.  I don't want them to remember me always working, so I try to make these efforts.  Goes against my grain, but I guess that's something you do as a parent.  

These are some pics from our evening out.  The rest are on my Facebook page if you want to check them out...
