I woke up with Joey at 7 again. Doesn’t this kid sleep? He normally sleeps in! I get up with him. Joe has been complaining he hasn’t gotten enough sleep lately so I tell him to get his duff off the couch and go to bed. He said, No, you go back to bed – it’s your birthday. I say no – go to bed. He says – are you sure? I told him, go now or I’ll change my mind. So he went back to bed.

Grandma was up. She was making sauerkraut and sausages for the family reunion. When she was done she told me to go to bed. I was so thankful. I was up till 2:30 and I was so tired. We were both sleeping around 10:30 when Grandma brought Joey into the room to go to sleep. Now normally when this happens, Joey sees up, stands in his crib and starts babbling to us. This time he rolled over and went right to bed. He must have been really tired. I told you he got up early – esp since he was up around 2:30 too! Joe got up around this time and I kept sleeping. I can sleep all day on the weekends.

We finally got up a bit later for the reunion. I showered and put on my new skirt and blue shirt outfit. I felt so good in it!

The reunion was nice. Joey had been a pistol all day and that included the reunion. He liked the kittens they had, but at one point he almost kicked it. I got so angry at him! I told him no more kittens. You don’t get to see them anymore and I stuck to my guns. They don’t have any kids toys there so he was a little bored, and it showed. He was so cranky. Finally after we were done eating we left because I couldn’t stand his bad attitude anymore. We got to grandma’s house and I told him he was going straight to bed. I put him in bed, he cried for a minute and then took another nap. I also laid down, again.

I woke up when he did. We left to Joe’s dad’ house to visit. Joey was a pistol there too. He was fine outside, but once we went inside, he cried and cried and cried – I think because he wanted to go back outside – even though he wanted to come in. I was so angry again! I told him he was going back to bed when we got home. So we left and I put his butt in bed and let him cry it out. I am so sick and tired of this two year old attitude! He finally settled down and we brought him back out and he did the same thing so Joe laid him back down. When I went in there, he was near asleep and then he woke up so I brought him back out to play and he was fine. I guess he needed a time out or something.

I got paged again right before we left tonight. Joe was a bit angry because I got paged all weekend. It ended up it wasn’t really a problem. It’s 10:30 and we still have about a ½ hour before we get home. It sucks when we get home late. So overall we had a great weekend. It was nice to sleep and it was a nice birthday. I’m still stuffy but not as bad. I need to go out tomorrow and get some shoes to go with my new outfits! That should be fun.
