Today was a much different Mother's Day that I was used to. My mom and dad decided to visit my brother's family in Mobile, so I was without my own mom today. I was slightly jealous my brother got to hang with her, but happy that he was able to spend the day with her. It's a rare thing. I do get to see her all the time - literally.
Anyway, because Maddy and I were both a little icky, we stayed home from church. That threw me off. Jim and the girls gave me my presents. Loved them. I got a mother's ring and a nice bracelet from them. Very nice. :)
Then we packed up and went to visit Jim's mom in Indiana. We took lunch in and hung out for a few hours. Reagan was rambunctious and crazy as normal. She played well actually. Maddy slept a bit and played a bit. Eventually she got cranky and I realized that she was starting another fever (ugh). We got home about 6:00 pm and unloaded the kids and the car. Maddy was definitely warm and Reagan was done for the day and testing our kindness to say the least.
By 8:00 pm, I was done. I told Jim I had to get out of the house. Reagan was driving us nuts by being... Reagan. She was just so defiant all evening. That with a sick baby was pushing my limits. Ahhh. Bedtime was nice. Jim tried to put her down and he got frustrated as well. I walked in and handed him the baby and kicked us out of Reagan's room. She was naked. I said "good night".
Jim was amazed I think that I would just leave her like that. She was not listening and we were at capacity and were starting to yell. Bad combo. So I gave us all some breathing room. I eventually went back up to put her in bed. She had calmed down by then and become agreeable. Nice.
Jim went up to UDF to get me some ice cream. Thank you Jim. I needed something to soothe my nerves. It was a nice day. But I'm tired.
