So, what has been going on in the Lindner household?
Last weekend I fly to Phoenix to visit my friend Michael. Michael and I have been on again off again for about two years now and although the relationship is totally damaging, I completely adore him. I wish I had some exciting stories to share, but we really didn't do much. We hung out, talked, shopped, and just enjoyed each other. He recently purchased a loan modification company and added a bankruptcy division so on Saturday, we went to the office so he could catch up on some work. It made me feel very good and an integral part of his life when he felt comfortable to introduce me to his employees. He is a very guarded individual and I know that this little act took a great deal of trust on his part.
Alex was suppose to go to his dads for the weekend, but because I counted on it, of course it would fall apart. I asked my sister to watch him for the weekend, but she and her boyfriend had plans to go shopping so she declined and we got into a huge fight over that. She and my brother are in their early 20's and unlike me at that age, they have no responsibilities and don't change their plans, especially when it means giving up something fun. So, I called the mother of Alex's BF and asked if he could stay at their house for the weekend. Thankfully, she said yes and the boys had a fabulous time!
On Monday, for my business policy and strategy class, I had to give a presentation on a shoe company that I operated as part of a simulation. Alex tagged along and got a little giggly watching mom give a serious presentation for a classroom full of college students. Why did I take my 8-year old to class? Well, it was because we had tickets for the Cirque Jungle Fantasy show at the Pavilion later that night.
I always feel like calling my chiropractor after a cirque show. The things that the performers can do with their bodies simply amazes me. Alex loved the show and even requested a CD which really surprised me because he's not a big fan of mom when she plays her Broadway tunes....of course mom is usually also singing into her hairbrush, but still. He was entranced throughout the entire show.
Two more finals for the week and this mom can scratch another semester from her list

I'm so happy everything worked out, as far as having someone watch Alex.
I bet he enjoyed watching your presentation. What grade did he give you? ;-D
We went to Love by the Beatles Cirque in Vegas and it was awesome too! I can't believe how talented they are!
Whew....another semester down...way to go MOM! What a great example you are to Alex!
