Took my kids for an outing in the new van yesterday

Since I finally have a vehicle I can drive I decided to take my kids for a fun day out. It felt so nice to get out with them and have fun. Our first stop of the day was to a low cost movie theater. For $2.25 a person (They raised the price 25 cents since we were last there a few months ago) we were able to watch a movie called "Inside Out" I was shocked it was even still in that theater as it has been out since June. My kids and I loved the movie. I got a bunch of good chuckles while watching it. Our second stop was party city where my son chose a shark theme for his party decorations. Then we headed to Walmart to get some much needed groceries. As we were leaving we saw the guy I am seeing (my ex) and his son. My kids told them we were going to Chuck E Cheese so they met us there. They came by after we got home for a sleepover. It was after midnight before we all went to bed. I have such a hard time sleeping with anyone in my bed so I laid there next to him until 4:30am until I could fall asleep. He was going to call off work to go hunting but when he called in they needed him there and so what would have been me just watching his son for a few hours turned into all day since it was Columbus day there was no school. A decoration on my wall that held glass votives with candles in them got knocked down and broke. Later I took them all down to the store to buy a football and my two kids started fighting so we left without anything and they had to go to their rooms for a half hour. Otherwise it was a pretty good day! Tomorrow I will be going shopping for my sons birthday presents. I am functioning pretty well off only 3 hours of sleep last night but since I have another busy day tomorrow I am going to go shower and get to bed. I finished reading Cell by Stephen King so now I have to pick out another book to read. That was the 42nd book I have read this year.
