It’s going to be a short post for today.
I’ve taken a few days off to recuperate from the past few days, and to make sure that the kids will get to actually see their father during their Fall Break. I’ve been coming home to find them either already in bed or trying to stay up to greet me after work, thus being so tired that they stumble over empty air.
I won’t stand for that, and I refuse to carry on the tradition of fathers in the US being absent in their children’s lives during the formative years.
So, as a surprise to Han, I was off today, dressed as a civilian, and took her to breakfast in town.
She’s being ambitious and wanting to impress her father, but she’s set the bar a bit high. I get that she’s a Swift, but just because Dad can eat three plates in one sitting doesn’t mean she needs to try the “Three Pancake Special”. She tried, though.
We also have errands in town, and she’s asked if we could walk instead of drive. I warned her that we’d be covering a couple of miles with walking, but she said, “You walk 12 miles every day, so I can do it too.”
I’m both proud and readying myself to pack her around when the pancakes catch up to her.
Stay safe out there, readers!
