Somewhere, my stepmom is laughing. Karma is a bitch. ;-)

I spent the weekend in Illinois. How often does that happen? :-D

jenny_evergreen and her husband tom_vroom got a free r/t plane ticket and decided to use it to bring one of their friends to them. It was a fun visit. The weather was lovely (oh seventies, how I long for you), both of their kids were adorable, and we had lots and lots of good conversation. I met Jenny's mom and grandma, too.
The only down side was that being around their kids reminded me so much of Daniel and Ellie at those ages that I found myself missing my family. But I think it was good for me overall, because when I think of that time period in my life, I think, omg it was incredibly difficult. And it was, but there was a lot of adorableness mixed in.
It also made me realize that highly-extroverted + ADHD = much more difficult than just highly extroverted without ADHD.beautyofgrey likely already knows this, but still.

While I was gone, Dave showed the kids the movie Oh, God, with John Denver and George Burns. It is sparking some interesting conversations around here, for sure.
Daniel: In a sense, God is connected with everything.
Me: That is what I believe, too.
Daniel: Though I don't think God is in this old guitar. Especially not in the condition it's in now.
Me: Well, God might be in the happiness you felt when you first got it, or when you played it.

But now he's singing improvisationally in a style eerily reminiscent of Ethel Merman (sample lyric: "I'm randomly shouting...it's just what I do!...It's just what I do!") and belching and yelling out spelling words "Creek! Creek! Creekcreekcreekcreekcreek!" and the reflective moment has definitely passed.
