I took the day off today - a good decision. I need a random day off every now and then to spend time with my boy(s.) I was all set to go shopping this morning - E. was watching the baby and I wanted to get a few things for him and for me.
I went to Babies R Us first. I bought some plastic bibs, a finger brush to clean baby's emerging teeth, and a portable place mat for when we go out and about. I intended to look at umbrella strollers. I had no idea that was to be my undoing! I got all "floopy" - my word for overwhelmed and stressed - doubting whether we really needed one right now, wondering if this was too much to pay for one, etc. etc. Then I pondered buying a giant box of diapers, trying to calculate prices versus the smaller sized box we usually buy at Target, and I became floopier.
There were, of course, babies in the store, and I just missed my little guy. I waited in line for ten minutes to check out, because as usual, there was only one register open. That store is overpriced, understaffed, and overwhelming! I finally got the hell out of there... and decided that I didn't have it in me to go on to Kohl's and shop for clothes for me. Since I've had the baby I don't know how to shop for myself anymore! Opportunities to go out by myself are rare, what with our work schedules, and I suppose when I do get the chance there's all this pressure to make the most of the time out. I really need some new clothes, but I have no idea what to get. It's easier to wear old jeans and t-shirts all the time.
Anyway, first-world problems, right? Despite my mishaps, it was a great day. Such happiness in being at home with E. and J. My baby boy will be seven months old tomorrow! How is that possible?
