Every time I pick up the kids on our joint custody schedule, Lane will come running out of his grandma's front door and yell, "It's Friday! Mom's here!" It's such a joy. Joint custody lends to a strange lifestyle. I'm a single mom for half of the week and just single the other half. I don't know how this half a week parenting is going to work out for the kids. I am so excited to see them and have them on my days off, so we always plan something fun. I do all of my chores, tasks, and errands on the days I don't have them. Makes for spoiled kids in a way. I don't think most kids get a rockin' good time with undivided attention from their mom for 2 and a half days straight. It's just very difficult to want to do any daily routine work when I have them for such a short time.
They are still out cold from last night and I don't want to wake them.We're going to Mt. Charleston today...on an adventure! That's what Porter called it. Then Lane said we could hunt down animals, kill them, and cook them for dinner. Uhhh...not this Mama. I told him he would have to go with Uncle Kris sometime to do that.
On the way home last night, the twins were talking about bungee jumping. Lane asked what that was and then said he wanted to do it. The three of us were all, "No way!" We'll have to watch. Actually, I don't think I could even do that. I still remember being in college with Vicki. We were in a gym parking lot and they had a bungee jumping thing going on in the parking lot. We looked at the person that was going and said, "Isn't that Ron (Taylor)?" Sure was. And a few years later, she married him. I don't think there was a correlation.
