It is ever rare that I go out with my family on the weekends, and today is one of those rare days.
Last night I slept at 4AM and woke up at 1030 this morning. Needless to say I woke up groggy and angry, but I got up nonetheless and took a shower and got ready. My sister was in a bad mood this morning so I hurried but it still seemed too long for her.
Our agenda for the day was having Thai and Lao for lunch, bowling, ice skating, and then dinner at a restaurant that just opened up. We didn't end up doing the last two things, however, because there was an ice hockey game. We decided to have a small bbq instead, which was warm and fun. The cost for today was quite overpriced- especially during lunch- but everything passed standard so it was okay.
It has been nearly eight years since I have been bowling. I was so reluctant to go in the morning when I heard we were going bowling- I don't have much fun when I go out with the family. It turns out, though, that it was very fun. I was worried about embarrassing myself when we first got to the bowling alley, but I shrugged some of that fear off and had a good time.
I think one of the things that interrupted a day filled with family love was my ex boyfriend. That doesn't mean he was a wretched bastard who ruined my day and made me feel unworthy. Actually, he made me really happy. I don't blog much these days because my words are always in jumbles and I can't put them into order, but I've been feeling the worst since we had broken up. His message today made my heart swell and me smile. It was so shocking, because of how we ended, and it was all I could think of for the rest of the day.
Moving on. Today was one of the days where I felt like my family and I were close. We didn't quarrel, we didn't disagree, we were together and that was so different from our usual day-to-day life. Would I do it again, though?
Only once in a blue moon!
