I am sitting at home watching television while my husband is hundreds of miles away dressed up also alone at a Christmas party in beautiful San Antonio. We have been going together for the last five years...it is sort of our little get away, even though it is a work related event. The company puts us up in a beautiful hotel. I called him and told him how much I missed him and that I bet he looked handsome. I know it isn't going to be much fun for him as most if not all the people will have their spouse or date with them.
It feels weird that I too could have been dressed in some pretty Christmas blouse and skirt or dressy pants. Instead I sit here in my jeans, slippers, t-shirt and mommy sweater.
On a lighter note...we did spend the day at Grammy's house (my mom) and played with my nephew all afternoon and evening.
But then again...there is the beautiful River Walk boat rides that are outside the doors of the hotel that we usually ride at the end of our evening. I guess I am a hopeless romantic...
Guess, I'll go see if there is a Christmas movie on television.
Joyce,
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you didn't get to go. It's hard when we have to choose between the kids and our husbands. It seems like the moms are the ones usually giving up the fun stuff. I guess that makes us good mommies.
Have a blessed day,
Debbie
