Last week my mom came to Charlotte for a visit. Charlie's parents, John and Erin, went on vacation so mom came to the rescue. The Stubbs' left early Sunday morning and mom flew in at about noon on Monday. Having her around was a great help, seeing as I'm not used to caring for a child 24/7. One of the more exciting experiences of the week was mom seeing what it is like here when it snows. It was only the second snow of the season and it was barely a dusting however, people were afraid to drive, school was cancelled and Charlie's music class was also cancelled. The snow was gone by noon. Mom found this to be as ridiculous as Jay and I did.
Mom was a real life saver. One morning she woke up with Charlie and made him applesauce pancakes while I got to sleep in. Wow I'm spoiled! She also watched Charlie while I went to get my North Carolina drivers licence and plates.
The Stubbs' graciously offered to pay for us to go out to a nice dinner while mom was in town. We chose to go out to Noble's on Wednesday night, it is a southern style restaurant. Jay came after work and joined us for dinner also.
Mom flew out on Thursday afternoon. I was sad to see her leave and miss her very much!

Marie, it's nice your mom could help you out. Moms are often like that...coming to the rescue of their children. Glad you could spend time with her.
The snow story is funny!
Take care.
