1) Tonight was rough.  There's no other way to put it.  Steven went to the Grizzlies game with Tony so I was by myself.  There are times when I have something going on and Steven has to do everything by himself, so I'm not complaining about that at all.  But let me tell you, I would never make it as a single mother.  Steven is a huge help around the house, so when he's not home I struggle.  If the boys are cooperative, it's not so bad.  But tonight they were being anything BUT cooperative.
2) Snuggy beds are going bye-bye.  They can still use them when they spend the night somewhere, but we will no longer be using them at home.  Landon has figured out a way to climb out of that contraption no matter what we do to it.  He wants to sleep with Peyton and he is determined to find a way to make it happen.  So tonight we will be sleeping in "big boy bed."  I'm trying to think of a good reward to dangle in front of them if they make it through the night without us having to get up fifty times.
3) Tonight I'm thankful for my boys' health.  I found a CD of old pictures in a drawer so I was looking through it and realized that, at the time, I didn't realize how TINY my babies were.  They were so skinny and fragile.  Now they are perfectly normal height and weight and healthy as can be.  A runny nose or a 100 degree fever sends us into a tailspin when other parents are dealing with lifelong disabilities, illnesses, cancer, etc.  Thank you, God for my healthy boys.
