Servant Mom

Wow! It's Sunday night and I can actually sit down and say..<sigh>  What an interesting weekend it has been. It was the first weekend in many weeks, that we just didn't have anything scheduled, so we just kinda took it easy and did things around the house and spent some quality time with Braden, since the other kids were out and about for the weekend.

We headed out to Sonny's Friday evening for a carb free salad bar, well close enough and we had to listen all the way there "I'm not eating at Sonny's, you are taking me to McDonald's" and I just had to kinda keep reminding myself who the parents were and we continued to drive on. We passed McDonald's and I heard the scream get louder, and of course the "I want McDonald's got louder too." We pulled into Sonny's, ordered, ate and then Braden said "I'm not eating here!" Jon and I continued to eat, when he said "I want a grilled cheese" I laughed and said "coming right up." I knew once we got there he would be OK, and the cycle continues..We headed out and asked for our drinks to go. Braden was walking out and said "hold this Servant Mom" I kinda said "doo what?" Jonathan said "NO SIR!" Braden said nonchalantly, "What?" I said "you don't talk to mommy like that" he said "ahh, it's just what they say on Backyardigans" I had to laugh as I continued to get rained on as we walked to the car.

We made our umpteenth stop at good old Wally World, picked up a few things, and of course the McDonald's trick didn't seem to work in his favor that night, so he pulled the all time famous "I just want to go to the toy section for one minute to see if they got any new toys in, but I'm not gonna ask to buy one" of course we didn't fall for that one either, and we headed on home for the night. Strike 2...

We are home, getting ready for bed, not 15 minutes later, he came crawling in to the room, with the "I'm scared, mommy" I said " Braden, go get in your bed" well guess what? He slept with us...No strike 3 for him that night. I guess after Mcdonald's, and Walmart, he finally got what he wanted...that day, the next day, and the next...Even managed to get some bubble time in there..

Much DVR time calling my name! xoxo
