Somehow it has worked out that Maggie is now my Saturday night date. It kind of happened accidentally. Alex is normally busy on Saturday night and I think I just wanted to keep Maggie busy. She doesn’t have her license and so she’s stuck with me- we might as well have a little fun!
Anyway, our little outings turned into, “Let’s get dressed up and go somewhere nice!” So that’s what we do now and we have so much fun. She’s very observant and we like to guess the stories of the people around us.
Someone asked me where she and I ate last night. I told them and they were surprised that I took her to that nice of a place. They were a little judgey.
I reminded them that my children’s father died. If they ask to go to the most expensive restaurant in town, we will go. They want to be with ME. I want to be with them. And we will be together over an expensive meal whenever we want to.
It just turns out it’s almost every Saturday night!
