My Poor Mom

What a day. I had an amazing time at a coaching clinic I attended. I know to most it would be a very boring day but I got a kick out of it. The host was absolutely hilarious. I laughed all day and learned a ton.

But....my poor mother was at home with the kids all day long. Now she probably has a really good idea why I didn't want to stay in GA and be a single mom while Steve is deployed. On a side note...Stevie is really going through a rough time and its hard because on one hand I need to discipline him for being a monster...or otherwise known as a typical 3 year old...but on the other hand I know he is really hurting because his dad has left him. Ok, back to the story... The 3 of them...Lilly, Stevie, and Nana, plus the dog....went to the river and fed the geese. Stevie apparently, charmed every group of people he met into giving him bread to feed the birds. I can just see him chatting up every person that walked by. Mom said Stevie ran for 2 solid hours and between chasing the dog and making sure Stevie didn't fall in the river, Mom got a workout!!!

I guess he did pretty good for Nana until nap time. He refused to take a nap and when Nana tried to insist, the little bugger nose peed on the floor. Can we say stubborn? I wonder where he gets it. Then she asked him to put on a pull-up since he peed in his underwear and he put on three. He is a stinker through and through. When I got home he informed me that he didn't take a nap but rested for a little while. I swear he talks like a 10 yr old.

But the day is over and we survived. Nana went to bed at 9pm, a little bit before Stevie...and I had to laugh just a little bit. Thank God I'm here. I don't think I would have survived this without Nana and Papa's help!!
