Just shorts

An amazing day. One I want to remember. Today was a good day too. We got up with the intention of going to the zoo, however, the weather had other ideas and decided to storm. We thought we would investigate the parks in Alabama, unfortunately it was raining there too... so arcade it was. I got very snippy with a woman as we were leaving. I am normally not so petty, but it just rubbed me wrong. We were leaving and this woman hit her husband and pointed, "I love it. I bet she spent $40 and there they go leaving with a 2 cent plastic toy." I grabbed the boys hands and turned around, "Actually I spent only $10, however, the hour of entertainment these boys got was worth twice that."
So weird to think about life, the big picture. How boring and how exciting it can be at the same time. How quickly things change, what I've done to change my own life. How fate has done things, maybe a more powerful being, maybe coincidence. Who knows? Who has come into my life and who has chosen to leave it or just been taken from it.
Not so good news about the father. Not ready. Seems to be a re-occuring theme in my life. Fathers who aren't there. Who can't stay. Who are never asked to leave but choose to do so.  No judgement from this side, just observations. I'm not ready to delve into meaning, I'm just rearranging the pieces of this puzzle. Sorting the sides and flipping them over to show the picture.
