Weekend Getaways

This morning I made it to the gym with perfect timing. I was able to snatch the best treadmill in the place, right in the far corner away from everyone. Usually it’s a rat race to see who gets it. My running mates consist of two other men, tight pants man and gray shirt guy. Both I’m sure ranging in their 60s but don’t let that fool you, their no strangers of pushing and hair pulling. Today I could feel the tension between us when we all walked together while Kelly Ripa spoke about her friend’s fake breast. It’s hard to become friends when their conversations consist of their most recent heart attacks. I’m just here to look good naked, not to unclog an artery. But anyways, after getting home I spent some time with the children. Today I’m sending both of my creatures off on their weekend getaways. Murphy is going to a lovely (low key) little summer (winter) camp up north where he can play all day, take in a movie or two and have his afternoon snack of milk and cookies next to the fire. Widget on the other hand won’t be traveling as far. He’ll be venturing off to Kitty Land, a place where kitties can rome free. Kitty Land is run by a King Alpo, the biggest and toughest cat around, hopefully Widget gets in good with him so King Alpo allows him return another time. I will miss both of my little dumplings even thou it’s only for a couple days, but as a patent I must allow them go grow from little seeds to the budding flowers they are.
