Yesterday...at band camp.

Just kidding...it goes more like this: Yesterday, at social skills class, I must have completely left my brain at home.  It all started out with the morning coffee, I don't know why or how it happened, I guess I was just thinking of other things.  I filled my coffee filter with the contents of J2's can of formula.  In my defense, I caught this before I made the actual coffee, but I should have known at this point that this was a good indication of how the day would go.

These days are great, because class starts at 10:30, so we have some time to watch cartoons, get the kids appropriately dressed, and fed.  It was pretty cold in the house, so I again made the natural assumption that it was cold outside, I pulled out our coldER weather gear: hoodies, leggings, pants, and knock off baby uggs.  I usually wear flip flops, even in the winter when all else is covered up, so I was good there.  We walked outside and it was almost...hot.  No time to change, but due to my aforementioned issue with dressing ourselves, I've learned that layers work well.  Off came the hoodies, my cardy and baby uggs (fortunately I had some time to manicure baby J2's toes this past weekend).

We dropped J off and J2 and I headed to Joann's and Trader Joes.  I have several projects going right now that I better hurry up and finish before K starts to get really pissed about all of my clutter in the garage, I bought some fabric to start a new one (A ric-rack type skirt for J2), some upholstery tacking strips to finish up a chair for J2's room, and a rubber mallet to hit myself over the head with.  (Kidding, I'm pretty sure I need this for the tacking strips, if not, I just acquired a rubber mallet to add to the tool collection.  I'm sure we'll need it at some point.)  I wondered through the store past mostly old ladies, J2 snug in her bjorn, grabbed my spool of fabric and proceeded to have it fall out of my small basket along with the tacking strips about 5 times on my walk to the register.  It is not fun to try to bend down ad pick these things up with a baby strapped to your front.  I should have picked the cart...lessons learned.

J2 had a dirty diaper and since I didn't feel like heading back into the store, I opened the back hatch and changed her, and at this point I had to take her leggings off and she was down to the long sleeved onesie since I forgot to replace the extra clothes supply in the diaper bag..  I tried to decide whether to put her in the carrier or not and I'm pretty sure that I pushed the button to close the back hatch.

Went into TJ's and bought a case of 2 buck chuck, which is, BTW, now 3 buck chuck.  We're first class all the way, guys.  I walked outside and thought 'What an idiot, someone just left their back wide open."  Well, that idiot was me, my car was wide open the entire time I browsed through Trader Joes.  Good thing no one stole my polka dot fabric and rubber mallet!  I swear, I pushed that button, so I'm just going to blame it on an electrical malfunction.

K called and we decided to meet up for lunch at the NEX, I picked up J and headed over.  We grabbed some food and sat down, things were going well at this point.  No squirming, everyone was eating like they were supposed to, and we had the iPhone calculator nearby just in case.  J got a lid cup of water with his meal, and he's usually really good about drinking from these...not today, he dropped the entire cup on the floor, and for some reason, no one is giving napkins away freely in the food court.  Oh well, we did the best we could cleaning up and headed out.  The previous post...the Home Depot one, followed all of this after nap time.  The good news is that I didn't forget to pick anyone up yesterday, we had a 'nice' family lunch out, the pool guy finally called us back, and the kids napped for a long time.  This is a really out there day for us (or, um, me), but I guess it puts some 'adventure' into being a stay at home mom?  Like I said, I think I need a job. :)
