Home Alone Part 2

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Rachel is still in Dallas so I'm home alone with the boys..again.

Last night Evan was up until midnight. No, he wasn't fighting with me. I let him stay up for the Steelers game because I didn't want to fight that. Then I let him stay in my bed. It had worked well the night before and I'm honestly tired of the fighting. I let him know it was a special treat while Rachel is gone. By the time we got upstairs and I showered and got ready for bed it was midnight. Of course he didn't sleep while that was going on, he forced himself to stay awake until I got into bed.

This morning, though, he slept through my alarm and getting dressed. Gabby came at 7:30 and he was still asleep. I don't know what time he eventually got up.

When I got home at 5:15, Blanca said both boys had been sleeping for a long time. She said Noah was cranky and didn't eat much lunch but went down for a nap easily. He was making noises when I got in. Evan also slept a long time and I had to go in and wake him up.

I made dinner for us. I gave Evan leftover pizza because he asked for it. I heated up a hamburger I had made last week for me. For Noah, I heated up leftover pasta and hot dog. It took the boys a really long time to eat. I don't know why they were eating so slowly. I had wanted to eat early so we could go to HEB, but it took them almost an hour and a half (more Evan than Noah).

Finally after dinner, we went across the street to look at the Christmas lights at Blanca's house. They have a train there that Evan loves. He remembered it from last year. We saw Blanca out there. Then we went to HEB.

The boys were well-behaved there and Evan even spontaneously gave Noah a kiss on the cheek. He asked for a kiss back but Noah did not comply.

The boys are in bed now. Evan is in my room and I put on an episode of Superman for him. He's not fighting me now. I know I'm just delaying the inevitable fight when Rachel gets home on Wednesday.

Until next time...
