Happy Saturday Thea!
Kinda disappointed you missed school for the second time this week for something that had nothing to do with you, but, it’s not your fault, so I’m not upset with you, obviously. I just don’t want you to miss things at school, because of someone else. :) I hope that you had a ton of fun visiting Belle yesterday! I din’t know y’all were going, so I hope it was a ton of fun, and that you had plenty of time to hang out with her.
I still haven’t heard anything back from Aunt Dani, so, I’m guessing that CA is a no-go. We’ll need to all talk together, and decide whether we want to skip a trip, or find somewhere else to go instead. Unfortunately, I think that if we still took a road trip somewhere, we’d kinda be forcing it, and just going somewhere to go, and wouldn’t really have a good destination. I’m still open for discussion about it, tho. I’m not really pumped on celebrating Thanksgiving, and haven’t been for a long time. Maybe we change our family tradition to celebrate something else, in it’s place. Come up with a new title, cook a different type of food, etc. I won’t force that, but, we can at least talk about it. :)
I hope that you have something planned for your Saturday, and don’t spend the whole day sleeping and playing on your phone. I’m going to try to get out to IKEA today, to replace the lamps. While I’m there, I’m going to look at chairs, and see if we can replace the living room recliner, or, if it’d just be better to keep the empty space for now?
Lastly, I want to talk about an idea I had, about separating our time here, when you’re all home. Instead of trying to force family time, and having it turn into endlessly searching for a good movie to watch, or wasting time waiting for everyone to end up in the same room together, we can talk about some other ideas. With a seven day week, we could each spend two days together, then have one family night, or, something similar. Something we can discuss, at least.
Love,
-Dad
