So after work I went home, nursed Logan, made a food menu for the rest of the week, and then Dustin and I were off. Before anything we needed to eat. So we made a stop at Applebees where Logan sat next to me and dozed off and then woke up and looked around. We tried to entertain him but he just wanted to take a bunch of cat naps.
After our luncher (Lunch and dinner) we were off to DSW in Woodbury for some new black dress shoes for mommy. When I put my shoes on in the morning they were so uncomfortable because something was poking me. I then realized it was the inside of my shoes poking me. After 6 years of wearing them nearly every work day…they were offically ready to be retired since they were falling apart on the inside and out.
We spent nearly an hour at DSW to just buy one pair of shoes! You see before Logan I was a size 10 in shoes. So it was already hard to find some nice shoes that were comfortable and in a style I liked. Well NOW it’s even harder…I’ve grown a size. I’m now a size 11! That on top of the fact that I don’t trust my own judgement and I just hate shopping, well it took forever. Again, Logan slept the whole time…and Dustin was watching him, so life was a bit easier then.
As we were leaving the store Dustin’s mom called and reminded us that Logan’s car seat base still needd to be installed in her car. Oops! I can’t believe we all forgot about it until now! But, I’m not the only working mom out there in this crazy world. Deb is as well, not to mention she’s a working Grandma, working daughter, working sister, working wife, and a working mom! Life is getting hectic for her even more now because of the added element of being a working Grandma. Deb is going to be watching Logan while Dustin and I work! That’s so GREAT! I don’t know if I can ever thank her enough! Then on top of that Deb’s mom Mona is in the hospital and then Todd’s dad Bob is having some severe health issues as well and is being brought in for kemo on a regular basis. So, it’s understandable why we all forgot about the base until now. So over to Grandma and Grandpa’s we go!
On the way there I’m just talking away…about who knows what. Sometimes I just talk just to talk. I don’t even know if Dustin realized I was talking because while we were sitting at a stop light out of no where and in a place where it didn’t fit into what I was saying Dustin just blurts out in a very discussed tone “I don’t like that!” I look at him with a vey confused look…”Like what?” “THAT thing there!” I look at where he’s looking and there is this vehicle. We’ve all seen them lately, the cars that are trying to be an SUV or something of that nature. Well the design of this one is just so ugly…no, it’s FUGLY, in the words of my brother-in-law Rob.
No joking, this vehicle looks like a hearse, but a hearse with some color! It was just wrong. It was the ugliest vehicle I’ve see to date I believe. So what kind of vehicle is this…well it was a Ford Flex. If you haven’t seen one before well BEHOLD……….
Now I’m not sure what and how you buy a vehicle, but I at least want something that looks somewhat appealing, and this just makes me want to pray for whatever family lost the loved one that is in the back. I don’t want that to be happening when I’m driving about town. I at least need a vehicle with a bit more curve to it too…oh and one that someone can distictively know if it’s a car, mini van, truck or SUV.
On to one more rant for today…Rainbow foods. I’m not sure if you have this store near you but this is my main grocery store. As we all know I’m a mommy, a wife, and I work outside the home as well. Well this means that I normally need to have my son with me where ever I go, and that includes grocery shopping. Well appearently Rainbow doesn’t like for babies to be in their store and want to make life just that much harder for parents with new babies.
We bought one of the infant carrier car seats and use that in stores as well, you know, by hooking them up to the front part where kids will sit when they ar able to. Well Rainbows kid seat area is TOO SMALL! Logan’s car seat doesn’t fit! Oh this makes me so mad! If you put him in the cart part and put his handle all the way down so he doesn’t move, well then where are the groceries supposed to go?
So I dropped Dustin and Logan off at home and went shopping for the food for the week. I still hate shopping but I can at least tolerate this, I’d prefer this over clothes and shoe shopping anyday! It just irks me that I have to leave my son and go by myself and try to hurry to I can get home before he is hungry again so he can nurse. I know you might be thinking, “well give him a bottle”. Bbut that means I have to pump and nursing is still just so much better then pumping. Then you might be thinking, “well send Dustin”. To this I say “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!” Yeah if I do that then all that will be in our home is junk food and not the fruit and veggies I buy. See grocery shopping is the shopping Dustin despises, because he just doesn’t know how he says. I try to bring him with and ‘teach’ him, but it just doesn’t work, he still just comes home with junk food for the most part.
So now I have new shoes (still need two more pair, one for just jeans, and then some for the water up north), the car seat base is installed, and w have groceries. By the time I got home it was Logan’s bath time and I felt like I just hadn’t had enough time with him…so we had a bath for two. So I at least got some quality time with my precious little angle!
Your task today…try to do something for yourself, even if it’s just 5 minutes longer in the shower! Remember we need to be happy in order to make our family happy!
Before I leave you, here is a picture of Logan and me at Como Zoo on March 31st. We decided to take advantage of Auntie Carlynn and Cousin's Gabe and Sam being on Spring break and go with them to the zoo on a very nice and gorgeous day!
I figured we needed some more pictures of Logan and some more recent ones at that. Hopefully there will be more to follow.
