Obligatory Quake Post. Etc.

So by now all of you know about the earthquake today and I feel I would be doing a disservice to not blog about it… so here we go!
Today I took my girl to Children’s Hospital for an annual checkup for NF1. These appointments are usually an all day event, yet somehow today I managed to get out of there before 11am. I’m not sure how and it’ll probably never happen again, but let’s just say the Quake Gods were with me today.
Anyway, took the Lady and my dad to lunch when we got back and then retrieved The Man… and we all went putt-putting. We were maybe on hole 13 when the earthquake began. I say maybe because this place doesn’t have the holes numbered, and frankly, I’m still a little bothered by it. I feel all this shaking and look at my dad with my best WTF look. He’s kinda giving me the same look. Meanwhile, everyone around us doesn’t seem to be noticing… So then, my dad asks them if they felt that and they say they did. Now, what exactly were you people thinking that was? It’s not part of the putt-putt experience, kids. There’s no fake volcano erupting or anything of the nature. It’s not as if putt-putt is a big thing around here so it’s not like being at the beach with all the courses with all sorts of shenanigans. I’m still kinda baffled about these people around me… and furthermore, thankful that I’m not around said individuals in the event of any major emergency because clearly, I’d be a dead duck before they acted.
Anyway, that’s all I have about that… Moving on…
I’m very aware that I’m raising The Man and his dad isn’t really around to teach him all of those boy things he needs to know. It’s something I think about quite a bit, actually. He is 4 and he knows to open doors for ladies or older folks so I think that’s a start… but tonight it was just he and I at home. And something dropped and made quite a loud bang… and you know what he did. Nothing. He kept watching TV. So basically, it appears that I’m doing well raising a man!
Some lucky lady will thank me later.
