Long weekend.

This week was Pappy Angelo's 80th birthday. So we took him out to Rios Brazilian Steak house. The little girl was all decked out and happy to be so.
But things were not to go so well. 
As with all loud places, Grace got tense right away. She sat for a little while but they bring you 16! different meats to try so this was just not the right place for her. 
We didn't make it to cake, so we tried cake at pappy's place but to no avail. She was so upset i had to take her out and sit in the car with her.
We try to bring her to different places but sometimes it's not so successful.
I guess Friday took it's toll on both of us. Yesterday we just kind of hung out at home.
But today was one of the days where my patience level is running on E and Chris had to go to Pittsburgh this afternoon, leaving me with no buffer. 
I couldn't wait to get her to bed. 
I hate these days. I just feel like being at home and doing NOTHING.
It seems like a waste of a day but there is no energy because every ounce of energy left is going to Gracie in order to get her ready for bed.
I know it's as hard for her as it is for me. And she seems to be trying so hard to try and communicate.
SO when my patience does run out I feel horrible for both of us.
She has been doing so good lately too.
