Oh the horror....

Tonight Colby went and is staying the night with my parents. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow and Blake goes to school on Tuesdays. Before my mother would come and stay and watch the boys, but right now she is watching my 4 month old nephew full time too. She decided it would be best if they came and got Colby tonight and let him have an overnight instead of driving over here with Brady and then back again after my appointment. This is fine... I can have a quiet morning and then I'll go get Colby and we will pick up Blake from school.

Blake was not happy to have to stay home. I think he is more upset about Colby not being home than the actual fact that he wasn't going with Grammy and Grampy. When they were leaving he was genuinely crying and upset. Yep, I understand it. Grammy and Grampy have said that Blake will also get a turn for a sleep over soon.

The funny thing for me is he continued to try to drag it on beyond the point you could tell that it was bothering him. I almost started laughing at him as he turns on this FAKE whine and just carried on like the world was coming to an end. Yes, it was bedtime, yes he was tired, and yes he was stalling big time. It was just too funny. Oh the horror... my parents are making me go to sleep in my own bed. They are taking me to the school I love in the morning. My day will be the same as always... oh the torture a 3 year old goes through in life.

Oh well... he actually did a better job at going to bed tonight so that was a positive and he will be more than fine in the morning when he is running out the door to go to school.

Today's goals:
-- go to the Y with the boys [check]
-- take Blake to speech [check... his schedule got changed so this will not be a Wednesday goal anymore]
-- go to the store to get a size 3 soccer ball and cleats for Blake [this was a LOT harder than I expected. I did finally find him cleats only to get home and realize I didn't even look at the bottom of them and they are baseball cleats and not soccer cleat. you know what... I DON'T CARE. Not this year anyway.]
-- pack Colby's stuff for an overnight at my parents house [check]
-- make ham and rice for dinner (yep not very exciting, but a favorite of the boys) [ummmmm nope... I totally didn't realize until I was getting ready to put the ham on the boys plates that I ummm... ummmm didn't buy ham this week.... oops!]

Tomorrow's goals:

-- go get my hair cut

-- go to the doctors

-- pick up Colby

-- pick up Blake

-- make macaroni with cheeseburgers (one dish even though it does sound like 2 things)

-- take Blake to his first soccer practice... yes with the wrong kind of cleats.

-- convince 2 boys that they can settle down for bed a bit late after coming home from practice
