Today was another day- with a series of events that I just couldn't win at. And by the end of it all.. "I should have just stayed home!"
Lily woke me up at 1:30- but thankfully went back to sleep without too much incident. When I woke up 6 hours later.. she did too- which meant no sneaking out of the house for mommy.
Next we all went on a 3 hour search for Jason's perfect cell phone. We finally found it about half an hour away from home at a store that had originally told us they didn't have it. Obviously.
I tried to get Lily the Lalaloopsy Holly Sleighbells Doll today. Which is only sold at one particular, very large retail chain (which I avoid like the plague). There was only location in our area that showed online it was in stock. And I went there. On a Sunday. But guess what? It was a lie- there was no such doll there. Of course there wasn't.
We went to pick out a Christmas tree at a tree farm that Jason and I had gone to once.. pre-Lily. The idea is that you tag it by Thanksgiving, then come back sometime before Christmas and they cut it down for you, etc. "The idea is.." can you tell where this is going? We walked around for at least half an hour, yelling at Lily to stop running away from us. My slipped disc spine plus full of small infant belly couldn't take it anymore.. I went back to the car to whimper in peace. Jason and Lily were about 2 minutes behind me. No tree.
Now it's almost 11:30 and Lily is still refusing to go to sleep. Jason, of course, didn't. And I, therefore, don't have a choice, but to be awake as well. And 6:30am, when I have to wake Jason up, will probably be here in about 5 seconds.
