Man, the life of a single mom is hard… not that I know really because I have a great hubby and a lot of help, but this past weekend was Tiana and Vince together 100%. David went out of town last minute to see the DeLaHoya fight, which left Vince and I alone to fend for ourselves. I didn’t mind too much because there was a lot I wanted to get done, like Christmas shopping and things around the house. But I’m not going to lie, doing little things alone with Vince were hard… like trying to order food & carry food & find a seat at the food court, with a baby and stroller. There was also a point where I exited a store and realized Vince was missing a toy and a sock.. and the decision to go back in and look in everyone’s shopping carts was a hard one to make… given V fights me to get in his car seat, and he was already tucked away snuggly. But hey… we got his toy and his sock back!
I met my cousin and her kids Sunday night at the Gaylord because we both wanted some good pictures of the kiddos. We got to the Santa area at 6:20 and they finished Santa pictures at 6! Santa was still standing there, and they wouldn’t let us even take one picture with our camera… how unChristmas like! We got some great pictures though. It was so hard to get Vince’s attention for the pictures. He sat in a bed of poinsettias for a long time… he was trying to eat the dirt and I was trying to make him smile. And for the other pictures, my cousin would hold Vince and try to keep her hands out of the picture while I made silly noises. We got a couple good ones… a couple out of 50, not too too bad!!
Mommy and Vince weekend ended with us both exhausted. Lots of quality time was spent together… Now it’s back to work. I am grateful my mom is around to help me out so Vince get’s quality time around the clock without me pulling my hair out!
