Running Late

Momoko and Little Kat were late coming home from work yesterday. They were supposed to pick up a few groceries so Kit Kat could make baked potato soup. They were too tired to go the grocery store. That meant dinner was in trouble.

In these situations, Momoko usually wants to go out to eat. For me that requires a lot of energy. I am the one who usually has to drive. However we were out of options. We hit out favorite Mexican place. Their chili con queso was especially good last night.

There is talk of a storm coming our way this weekend. So we put gas in Momoko's car, dropped by the bank to get some cash, and stocked up on groceries. Finally we got home. We were all still tired. Momoko and I both went to bed early. That is rare for a Friday night.

Nobody Home

I got out of work on time for once today. By the time I got home, Kit Kat had already left with her friends to see Eclipse at the movie theater. Little Kat still looked like he just got up. I went out and started cutting the grass.

By the time I got to cutting the back yard, Little Kat came running out. His friend was coming over to pick him up. He is spending the night over at his friend's house.

I completed cutting all the grass and came inside. I called out for Little Kat. There was no reply. I found this strange. All the lights were on and the TV was on as well. The front door was open. Little Kat must have left without saying goodbye.

As I was about to step into the shower, Momoko came home. It was good timing. I cleaned up and we went out for a date. Momoko felt like Mexican. We did not eat too heavily, saving room for a sopapilla. Delicious.

Sopapilla Surprise

Last night Momoko was not tired when we went to bed. So we stayed up talking. There was just one problem with this plan. I had to get up for work early today. It was painful. I had trouble staying awake.

I got out of work early for us to go to a reception for Momoko's colleague. We got out of the house, taking a bumpy ride over the snow. At the reception, Little Kat and I let Momoko and Kit Kat sit at the main table. We had some seats over to the side.

The good part about being on the side was that we could get some food. Momoko missed the meal. Afterwards we were going to do shopping. Before that Momoko wanted some food. Got some Mexican. The best part was the sopapilla dessert we all shared. Apparently the rest of the family had this before at the restaurant. It was so good I wanted to order a second helping.

Working Day

Veteran's Day was a work day for both Momoko and myself. Kit Kat and Little Kat stayed home because there was no school. The night before I worked until 11:00PM. So I figured I could leave work early around 3:30 then next day.

I got home and thought about raking leaves. But it was raining and I was tired. Kit Kat got a call from Momoko. She had meetings all day and still had a lot of work to do. Kit Kat, Little Kat, and I got in the car and drove to school. We helped Momoko put her classroom in order. There was a lot of furniture to move around. Some gerbils caused something of a distraction to the kids.

We finally got out of there. Momoko and I decided we should eat out since it was already late. So we headed to the local Mexican restaurant. As usual, we got some cheese sauce for our chips. But the dip was hot with a lot of jalapenos. Our plan was to get home and watch Transformers 2. However it was too late. All in all a busy Veteran's Day.
