Long days at work suck. I had late nights all this week. I also had a monumental screw up that help lead to my long nights. But, I should have normal hours for the rest of the week.

My past weekend was nice. I went down to the Second Home. The plan was for me to attend church with Mary Ellen and Harold, followed with Mary Ellen, her daughter-in-law, and I going to see Mamma Mia!. That didn't happen, but I did have dinner with them. They were expecting me for that as well. I did spend a couple of hours at the dinner table having a ladies chat with Mary Ellen and her daughter-in-law. After the Twins and their mother left, I went and watched a couple of movies with Joey. He had sort of made plans that we'd watch Big Daddy when I came over. After we watched that, he popped in one of his favorite movies, which is one I quite enjoy, too. We watched A Few Good Men. All through it, he kept telling me I was like Demi Moore's character.

While I enjoyed my weekend, when I got home, I got down. My talk at the dinner table with the Mary Ellen and the DIL made me realize I will never have a chance to have that with my mother. I will never get to just sit at the table with her and my sisters and maybe Jessica. I wish I could do that. And with my long days this week, it just added to me missing her. I think that all came to the head last night.
