Today I:
- Folded all the laundry
- Reorganized my closet yet again (3 people, 1 closet)
- Did some serious cooking – hopefully I won’t have to again this weekend.
- Got called a hippie by my cousin.**
- Got the above cousin’s kid picked up from school and dropped off at the appropriate place.
All on top of the usual mommy stuff like feeding, changing, tickling, playing, and napping.
**Apparently, the fact that I adjust my life to accomodate my toddler’s issues makes me a hippie.
An item I was looking for online is very easily acquired at the mall. Because Dan doesn’t do well in large spaces with crowds and crowds of people, I avoid the mall like the plague. If I go there with him, I will end up (much like I did at the NC Renn Faire) carrying both boys. It’s just easier to adjust my schedule to his needs, and when he gets older, we can try it. And I’m prepared to try it again and again until he GETS comfortable with it.
It is my cousin’s opinion that I should “lay the smackdown on the kid” and make him walk instead of carrying him. He didn’t address what I should do if Dan becomes unglued in the mall. I suspect it would be the same. Needless to say, this cousin hasn’t spent a lot of time with Dan and is incredibly clueless as a parent to begin with. But that’s a whole nother kettle o fish. (yes he pissed me off. who the hell does he think he is??!!??)
And that’s the end of my day. I’ve been in an odd mood for most of it. OH – and I was told today by a friend that I “need to get laid in the WORST way”. I’m not exactly sure what the WORST way is though. I suspect it would be standing in a hammock…..
What do you think?
