The drastic mood change in the weather over the weekend was a good reminder of how lucky I am being single.
Just kidding honey…
I’m always wiped out on these Monday’s after a weekend when all of the kids are home with me. It’s getting close to eight years and I still get sad when they leave on Sunday night.
Usually I’m up early with anxiety on Monday morning, but I slept right to the alarm today. Sleeping like a champion without the Sunday evening cocktail running its course.
I did have a couple beers this weekend. I gotta tell you Chalkheads that the non-alcohol beers have really stepped up their game recently.
Remember when you wanted to give up beer for lent and the only choice was O’Douls?
Those days are behind us my friends. Guinness puts out a lovely non-alcoholic stout. I also found a golden ale called “Upside Dawn” by Athletic that hits the spot.
I threw a couple of these beers in the cooler for tailgating before the Hounds game. Sprites for Hazel, Barqs for Fritz and a couple Upside Dawns for dad.
Forty-five calories, no fat and zero hangover. This might be a career changer.
I’m not nineteen year old Shep sneaking Old Styles down in the Oldman’s basement anymore. Now I can drink a beer when I’m making breakfast for the Shepkids and not feel like I have to go to confession.
Time to get this work week moving. We are in the back half of March already. It was fitting that it snowed yesterday. Perfect day to watch “The Quiet Man” with Hazel.
I told her that this is the movie that solidified my love for redheads and guaranteed that someday I’d have a redhead daughter.
She rolled her eyes and gave me a “whatever.”
Who wouldn’t want to live in a cute Irish cottage with Maureen O’Hara?
Go make the world Irish today you Chalkheads!
Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona duit!
