I'M SO TIRED

My title today is dedicated to my dear Sissy. That is my fave saying, as I AM tired all the time. She "huffs" at me and says "I HATE it when you say that". I really am tired today. My son decided to be talkative at 4am. I'm too tired to explain it.

Yesterday was a milestone in my being a tia/auntie. Sissy was kind enough (although I learned later that she was being a bit evil) to let me take Valentina to Spaghetti Factory. Asa had been whining about it for about a week, and wanted to go. Since I have let him have EVERYTHING in the world since he went poo poo in the potty, I said LETS GO!! We scrambled and got going. It was so exciting. I was a little bit nervous at first, since I have never had them both alone with me, and NEVER out in public alone. I was very prepared. I can't wait to do it again. I have photos that I will hopefully be able to post later today or tomorrow.

We had promised Asa that when he went poo poo in the potty that we would take him to the USS Blueback Submarine that is moored at a museum in PDX. I got the idea from my dear friend Danita who had recently posted about her trip there with her son. Joshua was almost as excited about it as Asa was. All three of us found it VERY interesting and informative. It was a 45 minute tour, and I was a bit anxious as I wan't sure if Asa would stayed focused for that long, listening to a tour guide. He did great. At one point, the guide asked if anyone had any questions. Asa asked out loud "Mum Mum, are we underwater?" The guide said "very good questions, we ARE underwater". Asa asked again "Mum Mum , are we under water?". Our entire family knows, that when Asa asks a question, and someone else answers, that it isn't good enough, and I'M the only one that knows anything, and he will ask again, and make sure that I answer him. We mothers are such superheros.

Josh and I had our date Friday night, and it couldn't have been any more romantic and perfect. Drinks at his company function first, and then drinks at dinner, dinner and DESSERT!! We had the Key Lime Pie Martini and it was so delicious. Next time I go there, that's all I'm going to have:) Then home to watch our Sci Fi shows on DVR. Perfect night. Thanks to Mom and Papa for watching Asa for us.

Last night Asa kept stalling (he's getting really good at it, I'm such a push over) for bed time. He was hungry and wanted left overs. I knew he wasn't hungry, but since he is so thin, I thought I might be starving him and let him eat anyway. He just played with his food. He was stirring his soup. He took a DROP of broth and said "Mom, it's SO good, it doesnt' even make me feel guilty!". I laughed, and remembered that Mom had told me that he had said "guilty" earlier in the day, in the wrong context. I TRIED to explain to him what guilty meant, but I wasn't making sense to me, and sure didn't make sense to him. He just looked at me with a straight face, and those big eyes looked blank. I gave up. Anyone have an idea on how to explain "guilty" to a 3 year old???

Today we are going to lunch with Grama Sandi and the kids. It will be fun. Mom still isn't feeling good, and not going with us:(

I'm so tired.
