School and work. Lesa went into the office, texted that she liked her new headlights. Took kids to bus stop. Started raining as soon as the kids got on the bus. Raining hard by the time I got to work. Storming an hour later but nothing like last Friday. Power went out here at home based on text from electric company and from clocks needing reset. Power out at work too, caused me problems with the work I was doing. Stormed pretty much all day, had to leave early to get the kids at the bus stop. Good thing I did because it was raining hard! And the road was a river. Lesa went past home on to Bloomfield and picked up a package and then she went to Dollar General. Because of the storm Bradford Woods trip delayed by a day, Indy 500 field trip canceled, track meet canceled, baseball practice canceled, and musical practice canceled. Discussed going out to eat since Lesa got home late, she decided to cook, I asked if any of the kids wanted to help cook pancakes and Dillan said he did so I taught him how to do pancakes and let him run with it – turned out just fine. Si I publicly apologized to Lesa at dinner in front of the kids for the unkind way I spoke to her yesterday. It’s not the first time I’ve admitted I was wrong or did something wrong. I want the kids to know we’re all human, we make mistakes, to recognize when we mess up, to take ownership of it, and try to make it right if possible. The boys watched a movie about a racing snail titled Turbo on DVD. I napped on the couch, Ashley napped in her room, Lesa took the dogs for a walk, and I don’t know what Dillan did. After the movie it was bedtime – Dwyane had a hard time getting to sleep because he leaves for Bradford Woods tomorrow at 8am. He added up good night kisses, good morning kisses and let Lesa and I know exactly how many kisses we have to give him tomorrow before he leaves. Ashley went to bed way early, she’s being kind of short and mean with me, probably that time and feeling like crap. Didn’t see Dillan at all since supper – he kind of just disappeared all night long. Lesa is asleep, everyone is asleep, even the dogs are asleep. I caught my second wind since my nap but I’m going to head to bed pretty soon I think.
