Best Part of the Day-
Barb did a marvelous job of keeping the Gast family Christmas Eve cocktail party alive and kickin. A great spread, Cold Duck, kids a runnin and the adults all feeling pleasant. Relaxing, yet jovial.
Worst Part of the Day-
I had to work a jam packed 8am-1pm and then rush to get kids to Christmas Eve paegent. I was unshowered and gross as I drove to Oconomowoc thinking I would somehow get a shower and throw on something black and velvety. Will-O was showered, shaved, in a suit and a really sharp dress coat at 2pm and was going to follow us in his car as he would leave after the kids' program. About 5 minutes into our 45 minute drive west I got a text from Will-O saying he was feeling down and alone and would not make it. HUH??? But you didn't work all day (or year) and you are showered and dressed and ready and you just told the kids "see you at the church in an hour..."
I texted back, "But here's the thing--it's not about you, it's about the kids. It's Christmas." I got no reply.
Best Part of the Worst-
The kids didn't seem to notice or ask even once where their father was. Either a good sign or a horrible one.
