I have a spreadsheet where I keep track of all of my blog posts. For the days I’m behind, I leave a few notes to remind me of what happened that day. Today’s note was simply ‘Larry in charge.’ Like what does that mean?
So, I look at the calendar and I see it was the night Tara took our niece to see a Michael Jackson impersonator. I had to look through text messages to my kids to see if that led to any more clues as to why I was ‘in charge’ that day.
It was no different than any other night Tara has a work function or a late night at the office. I was in charge of dinner and ensuring our three were all safely home from wherever they were. Hayleigh had a friend over, Emma had to be picked up from her moms around dinner time, and Abby was at a friend’s house late into the evening. So making dinner and driving the loser cruiser about town picking up and dropping of kids from all over the place it was.
I made tacos. There are likely a few posts this past year where I have mentioned making this as it’s my goto. I’m not sure why? It takes a bit to put this meal together but I never hear grumbles from the audience when I make it so there is that.
Abby didn’t want to be picked at 9:30 so it was a late night, but the dishes are done, the kids are fed, and everyone is home and retired to their rooms.
Tara and our niece had an amazing night. Have I said that Tara loved MJ growing up too? Didn’t we all? I’m a Heal the World fan personally.
