I really haven't been doing much lately, but I think I actually kind of like it that way. I know, I know- I'm typically not one to be able to sit still for any long periods of time. But, it's nice for once. I've got a bit of a break until the next movie starts filming, with nothing else going on. Just working on developing one or two script ideas, and that's that.
With all this free time, I've been able to just spend my days at home with Blake while Holly is back to work. It's a huge role reversal, but it's letting me take care of everything else while Holly is away during the day so we can just have some family time when she comes home at the end of the day. We've been able to do random little things...family night's out, trips to the beach, or just hanging out outside with my incredibly lame attempts at pina coladas after Blake goes to bed. It's been nice.
I guess I realized that I really hadn't been holding up my end of the deal recently. Atleast, not putting as much effort into everything as I should. People who say that you don't need to work at a relationship are so full of shit. You do have to work at it, but it just should be work that you look forward to doing. And Holly deserves more than that, and so much more. So, I'm hoping that I'm making it abundantly clear lately that I'm still here 100%.
Blake's been growing a bit clingy to Holly lately. Most likely because she's gone during the day. In some ways, it's refreshing to see how excited he gets when she comes home each day, and reaches out for her. Every kid goes through that stage for a while, I guess.
I am having fun hanging out with him during the day, though. We'll sometimes pack up and meet Holly for lunch during her break at the studio, or if I've got something to do, he just comes along. The other day he got brought along to a meeting. The kid was just sitting there, content as can be just looking around when all of the sudden he just busted out with this laugh, completely amused at something. Lord knows what it was, but he was cracking up and nobody in that room could figure out what the hell he found so funny, but by the end he had the rest of us in hysterics as well. Weird how babies can do that to people.....
So yep. Life is good. Hanging out with my pal Blake during the day, getting in a little family time at night, catching up with some friends here and there. Really, you know you've achieved the ultimate happiness when all you have to do is sit on a porch swing in your backyard and have that make you realize that you've never been happier.
Oh, and JB? You're on for Wednesday. We'll hunt down that brother of mine who THINKS he's normal and too cool for us, and we'll take everyone down.
