The night didn't start the day off too well. Princess got up with an accident. An accident really?! I guess it happened in her sleep and we are not talking about number one. Well it wasn't too bad anyway, so we cleaned up and went back to bed. Of course I was up with Boo only about two hours later, but he went right back to sleep easily. But you know how it is being a mom, once you're up your mind starts thinking of all that you need to get done and all that you should have gotten done yesterday. Anyway, she wakes up again at about 6:30 and we do the routine again and I try to lay back down for a few more peaceful minutes before Boo wakes up and the day begins. Isn't it my luck he's awake as soon as my head hits the pillow. Hubby gets up and I roll over to grab his hand and hold on to postpone the day just a few more seconds.
Seeing your baby wake up in the morning can brighten anyone's day. Seeing mommy or daddy's face brightens a baby's face and it lights up the whole room and seeps into your heart. A regular morning as usual except Princess stays home, actually accompanies me to Boo's nine month appointment, and we have to drive all over town today delivering flyers and business cards for the company. Woo hoo, what a day. All ends well, even though because it's the cold season the appointment took longer than it should have, but the good news its he's growing good and strong. During the drive around town Princess asks me about a movie we say the other day "Physical Me" (Despicable Me) and asks how the little girls were born if they don't have a mom or dad. I had to explain what an orphan was and incidentally she also was curious about what a butler was, gotta love kid questions. Also during the flyer delivery I did something any mom would have frowned upon, I even scolded myself internally; I gave my nine moth old baby some of a chicken nugget!! AAAAAHHHH! I know, i know but I was desperate. Anyway we'll file that incident under bad mommy moves. At home, we play a few rounds of "Guess Who", takes me back a few years, how about you? And pick up the house.
Tomorrow is my mommy meet up for walking, should be fun I just bought a new (craigslist) jogging stroller yesterday. I figured I should give it dry run before I try to go out with a bunch of other mommies and embarrass myself when I don't know how to use it. If you have ever owned a jogging stroller you know there are stationary wheels and rotating wheels on the front. I figured I needed a stationary one because "I am going to become a runner". I mean hey I ran last week the day after mommy and me yoga when my legs were on fire and it was such a rush! So.....stationary wheel means you have to pull back on the stroller until the thing is doing a wheelie and spin the baby around to turn. Oh yeah, it's not as fun as it sounds. But it works and should be more fun than trying to jog with that standard stroller, which I'm sure everyone was looking at me funny while I tried. But now with my hand me down running shoes (first ones I have ever owned), my super cool jogging stroller, dog at my side and baby safely buckled in I will be able to get my legs, butt and stomach in "I can look in the mirror and smile" shape. Especially since I finally caved and bought my first two pairs of skinny jeans. I love them! Just know I can look better in them if i try.
Well, it's about that time. Boo's down for his late afternoon nap Princess is playing outside with her dolls and I've gotta get dinner started. Homemade orange chicken, hubby's favorite. Oh can't forget trying to start up my Mommy and Me or Baby and I (gotta include those who aren't moms after all) so I need to get planning......
