Two Part Post
Not sure what I want to divulge of my self today. The dinner party was pretty fun, in the beginning. The food was great and the wine flowed. My neighbor Pat was in rear form and had us in stitches laughing. Tears running sown your face, gut aching funny. And all of a sudden it went bad, and somehow I was involved with it. I said something Pat didn’t like I guess. I don’t know what it was. He just stood up made a comment to me (can’t remember what it was) and stormed off. I looked at everyone else, blank looks from everyone. And said I would go see what was wrong. Big mistake. Pat got even more pissed. I tried to tell him I had no idea what I said to offend him. He walked off and sat back down at the table, leaving me baffled. It was late and we had the children with us so I thought it best to say good-bye to everyone and thank the hosts, even Pat. Collected the kids and scooted off. Angus stayed behind. Which was fine with me.
Got the kiddo’s all tucked in and get, when is dad coming to tuck us in, did you have a fight? Reassured them that we hadn’t. Half hour passes, When is dad coming home to tuck us in, are you sure you didn’t have a fight? Did he maybe fall asleep?
So I told them I would go make sure he didn’t. (it wouldn’t be unlike him to do so). He was just fine when I got there and told him the kids were concerned. Rene, the hostess, tells me to sit back down for a few minutes, so I do. All seems fine, other than the comment Sally makes. “ Are you sure its the kids and not you?”. I ignored it. She has been very hard for me to be around lately. For lots of reasons I will get into at some other time.
Mike and Sally say their good-byes and Angus leaves to go tuck kiddo’s in again. I stayed behind for a few minutes. Everything with Pat seems fine. He didn’t even seem to remember what it was that I said that pissed him off! (I told you the wine was a flowing.) So all seemed to end well after all...... so I thought.
Part two later.
