Friday angst

Why do Friday's have to peak at 1pm. My wife is gone, I'll go home and my kids will be pestering me for something or other, or barking for a meal. I want to go out to a movie, I want to go hang out. But, it probably isn't to be. Don't have anyone to go with unless I want to watch a kids flick.

Lunch with 7 guys from the office was fun. Funny I'm not attracted to them. I know them too well, or something. There is a young intern that kind of drives me crazy, one who looks too good for his own good especially. But lunch was male bonding, fun time. Kind of a tradition amongst our office.

I'm worried, and so are my friends and relatives, that my wife is "running away," literally and figuratively. She runs all sorts of races, and loves it. But her attention to family is gone. She comes home and opens up the laptop to look at facebook, or websites about running. Home but not home. Can't even watch a movie with me without the laptop on and open. Always upset with the kids and their "malevolence." I couldn't remember the last time she really spent some quality personal time with them (or me). My sister kept asking me if she was having an affair. Well, I don't think so, unless you can have an affair with a laptop. You can have an addiction through one...

So, I'm missing teenage/college life when you hung out with your "gang" and always had a tribe of sorts to do things with. Last night this kind of came back to me when I walked out of my room and found my oldest child making out (big-time) with her boyfriend. I was jealous of the little sucker. I haven't "made-out" in years. People make life worth living, or not worth living. Anyone want to go see Star Trek?
