Friday night I got off work and headed to the mall and then met up with my friend Colleen for dinner. Like I said in my previous post, I love friends that don't hold a grudge when it takes a long time for us to meet up and have dinner. I know we are both busy and life just gets away from us, so we met up at Rock Bottom which seems to be our norm every 6 months.
Then I got home did some minor picking up of the house and packing for my Saturday. Then Saturday I got up and headed to Clear Lake for my friend Sarah's bachlorette party! I got there about noon and we headed out to do some bar hoping since it was still a little chilly for a boat ride! It was SO fun....small group, super fun, so funny, great weather, in bed by midnight and NOT hungover! Our van driver got a bar to open up for us (they weren't even open for the season yet, and we got a tour of the Surf Ballroom...so amazing! I have pics once I have the energy to download them!) I'm so happy I was able to make it up there to celebrate with her, we've been friends for 5 years now and been thru so many things together! Can't wait for her wedding this coming weekend!
So Steve said Presley was great over the weekend, playing and talking and being happy....Piper on the otherhand....a nightmare. She is so needy, whining, wouldn't go to sleep...she is now into the terrible twos!
I got home about noon on Sunday, Mother's Day. I did call my mom on the way home to wish her a happy mothers day and talk to her, I didn't however, get on FB to tell the world how I have the best mother.....we all know that I do, why do I need to remind everyone??? :)
All of us were TIRED. Piper and Steve napped, we tried to convince Presley to nap...no such luck. She watched part of a movie and then wanted me to play Barbies or a game with her... I was cleaning and doing laundry (on Mother's Day, I'm not sure why). I just couldn't say no to her....so we played 4 games of Uno.....I won 3 of them. She was not happy but I told her that it was mothers' days so she had to let me win! ;)
I had won tickets to Sesame Street Live so we decided to try to go to the 4:30 show and see what happens. Piper had never been to something like this, mainly b/c she can't sit still and tickets were $22 a piece?! Are you kidding me? Most of the parents at this thing have kids that will NEVER remember any of it!! But ANNYYYYYWAYYY.......we went knowing it could be terrible.
They did great for the first half hour. Presley enjoyed it (I thought she might be too old, but she seemed to be in the minority of kids that actually understood what was going on!), Piper did some dancing and wasn't scared like we thought she might be. So we made it thru the first half....then it all went downhill......Piper wanted to go up and down the stairs, Presley wouldn't sit still b/c Piper wasn't, so we left.
We decided (for some unknown ri-di-cu-lous reason) to try dinner at Buzzard Billy's....first of all the waiter took FOREVER to bring us our drinks, which was probably a good thing b/c Piper was so terrible that we left before we even got them. She took off her shoes and threw them....she was mad at Presley for something and decided that she would throw everything off our table, crayons, menu's, it didn't matter....we literally had to take her off the table and out of the restaurant crying. It was
I knew we were all tired, so we tried to get everything ready for the weekend and get to bed early but it ended up being like every other night. Presley was asleep by 8:30 and Piper we tried to get to bed before 8 and it was almost 10 before she fell asleep! (we now have her Pack-n-Play set up in her room for bedtime, we are trying anything to get her to sleep within 2 hours! That is where she is right now, so fingers crossed!)
