Not today. I had to skip the Austin trip for various and numerous reasons.
1. Michelle has been showing more and more signs of being ready to pop. I would never forgive myself if I left town and the baby came. I have been there for every birth and this one ain’t gonna be any different.
2. The weather is pretty much teh suck and as much as I want to see the boys I would be miserable for most of the day.
3. I feel like utter and complete hammered crap today.
4. Even with the wonderful gift the possibility of the baby coming early is a budget concern since I will miss about a week of work.
5. Transportation wasn’t going to be an easy issue to tackle.
So for all those reasons and more I didn’t get to go to the music festival, have lunch with UberLutheran, crash on Jake’s couch and pretend I am eighteen for two days, or drive to Austin with Freddy. I am not depressed about this at all to be honest. I made a responsible decision and I am proud of myself for that.
You’re a good husband and daddy. I wish you got to do more fun, cool things like this festival, though.
I know you wish that but there will be other festivals and other shows. So far this year I have missed Social D, Lucero, and a couple of others. I am not upset by this at all though. I am very satisfied that I am responsible, a good father, a good husband, and a good employee. That is enough for me at this time in my life
