Getting together with LK is not the easiest thing to schedule. With young children, her responsibilities as a mother come before everything else in life. That means that if anything goes wrong with her or her children, we must reschedule things. Our most recent meal was one of those rescheduled events.
LK was feeling under the weather on Wednesday, and said that she'd like to try for a Friday lunch if she was feeling better. Around 7:00 am, she texted me to suggest lunch at a restaurant in New City, NY for 11:30 am/ Since it was already 10:00 am. I suggested a 12:30 pm time and that was OK with her. So I rushed to shower, dress, and do my make up to meet her on the other side of the river. Since this was the first time I'd get to meet her 2 children, I knew it would be a special meeting, albeit disrupted by the needs of her children.
I ran a little late, while LK was 15 minutes late. So I knew that I'd have less time than usual to chat, as I had to pick up RQS at Croton-Harmon at 3:30 pm. We chatted less than usual, as her son was grabbing all of her attention. But that was OK. I'm comfortable with having friends in all stages of life. LK was born to be a mom, and I was glad to see her in her in all of her maternal glory. (I won't use that phrase around her, as she was feeling challenged by motherhood that day.) Around 2:30 pm, I was on my way back to Croton, and mistakenly decided to cross the river at Bear Mountain. This was a big mistake, as the road to Peekskill was backed up halfway to the bridge. Eventually, I made it through the gauntlet, and made it to Croton-Harmon station in time to pick up RQS.
