The most unfortunate part of a day full of errands like this is that I did not have a stay at home sitter, I did have some help at my first two appointments, but otherwise, Sloan the Younger was IN TOW. I would love to count the number of times that I snapped and unsnapped all the car seat harnesses. It seems like several thousand.
My appointments went well. Lunch was great in that I had lunch with my mom, a wedge salad, and a buffalo burger that rocked my world. Lunch was bad, because Sloan IV was having some bathroom issues that resulted in a lot of crying, trips to the bathroom to change diapers and all over grumpiness. When I sat back down from the bathroom, after changing Young Sloan, I couldn't remember if I washed my hands, and I was so hungry and tired that I didn't care. Is that where the long slow downward spiral starts? Is the next stop giving up personal hygiene and living amongst garbage cans.
The trip to see Mary Varallo (Needle Wizard extraordinaire!!!) was lovely as Young Sloan slept in the car and then sat placidly in an arm chair eating gummy bears while I discussed denim as if it were world peace. In a week, I will be in possession of a wardrobe of denim that looks as if it were made for me personally.
The trip to see my parents (and yes, I know I just had lunch with my mom, but they live close to Mary Varallo and it was easy to pop in on the way home) was a drama, as Sloan IV was tired and irritable. He was happy for moments and then fell apart only to cry the entire way home. At home, we watched Toy Story 3, which I am told is really sad, but I was so glazed and miserable with Sloan IV sitting in my lap also glazed and miserable that it just looked like a cowboy and a space character and a lot of "Whoa Whoa Whoa!!!!".
Swim tomorrow and let's hope for a slower day.
