A family affair

Good morning.  It's early and my girls are sleeping upstairs.  My new "family" is asleep upstairs.  It's strange saying that.  My daughter believes that I have run off and found a new family to replace her.  That's not true.  I fell in love.  R.  has children from a previous ugly marriage.  She has parents and a sister, aunts and uncles.  I have no one but Dad and T.  Yesterday was a great visit with Dad.  We worked on his plumbing where my girl showed of her handy skills and drank a beer with Dad during his "happy hour".  She made mega points on his board.  All she has left to do is keep being nice to me and maybe make him a dinner sometime. 

Today is another test for me.  I get to meet R.'s sister and brother in-law.  We are spending the night at her parents for Fathers day and his birthday.   I am a little nervous.  I am out of practice with family settings.  I do better one on one.  Group settings and being on stage make me very nervous.  I know the liquor will be flowing tonight too.  I am not worried about drinking for me but just being around the sights and sounds of intoxicated people is stressful. 

We watched Kill Bill vol. II last night as a family.  The lights were off and R. and I cuddled on the couch.  It could have been any movie and I would have been content.  Making it one of my favorites made it priceless.  I love sharing movies with R. and E. that they haven't watched.  R. is easy to like them but E. a little tougher because of the age separation.  She didn't appreciate Caddyshack. Well what could I expect.  She doesn't golf and the 80's stuff and actors went right over her.    Well got to wake the girls up.  How did I get so lucky.

Peace
