Happy Mother's Day to everyone. We've had a pretty busy weekend. Saturday started out as a day trip to memaws to visit, but that morning my kiddos both just wanted to spend the night. We did a quick pack up, and headed to Paducah. For some reason, as quiet and sedating that house seems to me, my kids become these wild chickens when they walk in the door. They perform and aggravate each other. It's like a constant game of who can be the loudest. We'll just say it was a full day of uninterrupted entertainment. Hung out at Meme's by the pool, wishing it was warm enough to swim! Then a BBQ dinner at memaws with most of the fam. Lexie finally got her turn to stay with Meme without Kyle a little during the afternoon. Kyle and Aidan spent the night with her after our dinner. Early bedtime for memaw, since she had no nap and a busy day, and quick shower & early bedtime for this mama & lil miss Lexie. It was nice to be there for the Mother's Day dinner for memaw. She wants so badly to have a house full of family. Anytime she has a visitor she wants to make it a party :) gotta love that woman.
We got up this morning and headed back towards home after a little morning chit chat. We took a scenic route and went through to see the KY dam. We were coming up on the exit, and Kyle says, ohh, ky dam exit 27... So I took it. Figured why not... He said "Yes! I've got like 12 hours to kill", after asking I realize he meant til bedtime. Funny kid... So we detoured a little. Then took another detour because there's a house I saw for sale in the boondocks for $25,000, and I wanted to map that out to see how far from post it actually was. How fun would that be for a project to stay busy! It was beautiful around there, but a good 30 minutes away from post, sooo that won't be happening. Anyway, we finally get home after a couple hours to drop Charlie & start our Mother's Day celebration. I'm pretty simple, I love Waffle House, and hate waiting at restaurants... So that's our plan. I remembered after all this that iron man 3 is out and we change plans last minute to just watch the movie. It was a great movie! Followed it up with a trip to Starbucks for last day 1/2 price frapps, where Kyle jumps out tOf the car to pick some flowers for me while being cheered on from the line of people waiting on their orders. That was probably the highlight of the day! He was looking for other flowers to stop and pick the whole way back from there.
The afternoon was fairly quiet. Kyle went out to play with friends for a while, and then we decided we'd head to Waffle House for some dinner since we were too stuffed after movie junk. Back home to build some random puppet thing out of a box that Lexie found in a magazine, then army wives & teen mom 2. Now cuddled up with my baby, because she was heartbroken when I said she had to sleep in her own bed because it was a school night. She thought it meant the days, so she starts crying and reminding me she didn't go to school today and she was sweet at the movie theater (I didn't buy that part of it) but her reasoning was so sweet that she ended up in daddy's spot for tonight.
I missed being home for Mother's Day to celebrate with our moms, but I think my emotional balance was better off waiting a couple weeks. I needed the quiet this evening watching my shows, missing my love. Only a quick call to let me know he was ok last night, and haven't heard anything today :(
Hoping for something before I fall asleep.... Goodnight all!
