Busy With Parents
Madalene’s parents have been in town for the last few days, and to be honest, while it has been fun, it has also been very tiring to spend all my time with them. On friday, the day of Madalene’s graduation ceremonies, I was with her parents from 7:30am ‘till 10:00pm. We went to this ceremony, then that ceremony, then lunch, and a reception, and dinner and chatting and so on and so forth… I earned my sleep that night. Then a day of shopping for a new desk chair for Madalene, and other shopping, and dinner. They have been very generous, and bought us nice meals at several restaurants we were wanting to try, but hadn’t been able to afford. It has been fun to try the new places, but I’m not used to all this rich food. We had a chance to take them around St. Louis some, and we even got to go to the Science Center and see the new Omnimax movie as well as tour around and see some behind the scenes stuff.
Anyway, its been good, but it has kept me very busy. I’m looking forward to going back to work tomorrow where things are much less hectic (I never thought I’d say that about a science museum filled with hundreds of screaming kids and noisy exhibits, but somehow, its true).
