What a Weekend

I am sometimes more tired after a weekend than I really believe they were designed to be. Of course my weekends are just so jam packed full of ...do this, do that, go here, go there, and of course eat this, eat that...that I just don't have time to sit and relax sometimes.
I actually did realx some this weekend and that was a blessing... so what am I talking about? Well, at work, everyone always asks me how busy my weekend was because I guess they are used to me telling them that it was very very busy. In fact, few ever ask any more if I had a nice weekend.
.......so what is a weekend??? ...what are they for???

Weekends..........weekends.........weekends...........

I believe they exactly that. They are a couple of days at the end of the work week. I use them for visiting my children and extended family. We well clean around the house. In my case I do some trophy work and maybe some yard work. Catch a movie, on TV or at the theatre, depending on the old checkbook balance.

This weekend started off with playing with my grandsons. Jet likes to watch movies and play video games (he's 5) and also he will interact with you one-on-one if you will sit and do it. He wanted to watch Star Wars this time and I sat down to watch it with him. He kept asking me questions about the movie and I didn't know any of the answers. He actually knew all of the answers, he just likes to ask and see what I know. For example he asked me what the space ship was shooting down and I said that it looked like bombs or something like that. He promptly told me that I was wrong...they were droids. Okay, so they're droids, alright. Because his daddy told him they were. You can learn a lot about a kid just talking to him. I learned from that that Jimmy talks to him during the movies. I think that's great.

He also wanted to know who Darth Vader was and I told him as much that the ugly man in the black mask was Darth Vader. I felt so smart, I wouldn't be wrong on this one. He said, " I think its Annicas (I'm not really sure how he pronounced it, annicus, addicus, annican) Darth Vader. I asked Kelley later and she said that yes, he and Jimmy discuss those things and they had talked about the Darth Vader's real name as Ana...whatever it really is.

Now, if I had not let Jet watch the show, or worse yet not sat down and watched it with him, would I have known that he was so intelligent? Yes, I already knew he was intelligent.

I have rambled more than I should have already. I think short posts are easier to read.

..until next time
