Saturday
We had a house showing scheduled at 11:00 a.m. so we took off and went to Toys R Us to shop for a birthday present for Meredith. Being in there is mind boggling to say the least. Really, is there a necessity for all those toys? It took us over an hour to pick out two things. It seems like a lot of the toys are so similar to one another and Meredith is a been there, done that kind of a kid. We also got her some jammies for the fall in 18 months size. They are gigantic!
As you can see, I picked out some boy dinosaur jammies! I had to do some convincing with her dad but this is her first official piece of boy clothes. To balance that out, we had to get a girly pair too.
We got home and I don't think the people even showed up for the showing. There was no realtor's card and the house showed no signs of intrusion. That's irritating to say the least.
Sunday
I decided that it was a good day to go to Goodwill. I will admit, I love to shop there. Today I came home with a like new looking J Crew cardigan, a like new looking argyle vest from The Limited, and a nice wrap around blouse (not quite new looking but nothing a good wash and iron can't fix) from The Limited all for $10.99. I was very excited to find out it was 50% off green tags today! When I left the house, I told Greg that I would be back soon. Well, 1.5 hours later, I proudly stumbled through the door with my new possessions and he was shocked to hear that I didn't even look through half the store. While I am talking thrift stores, I stalk Once Upon A Child. I've gotten some great toys and clothes there and but since I was at Goodwill so long, I skipped it today. On my way out of the Goodwill, some guy spilled his soda all over my foot and sandal as I was walking out the door. I didn't even get as much as an apology from the guy as he watched me take my dripping sandal off and walk barefoot to my car. I mean, I understand it was an accident but he could have AT LEAST APOLOGIZED! I gave him a really dirty look but decided to hold back my bitterness...yelling at some guy at the Goodwill really wouldn't have been too effective I decided.
When I got home, I washed my feet and sandals and we put Ems down for her nap. Then we attemped (for the third time) to fix our ceiling. For those that don't know, one of our POS bathtubs sprung a leak this winter and our ceiling was damaged. After Ems woke up from her nap, we took a quick trip to Target. When we got home, Ems and I went outside to play so Dad could clean up the mess with the ceiling. I for the life of me can't figure out why this kid will not crawl around in the nice soft grass, but instead wants to crawl on the sidewalk and scrape up her knees.
Once everything was cleaned and babyproofed again, we went in and started dinner. I made Ems a beautiful looking taco salad. I was so proud of this masterpiece and all she did is sit in her highchair and whine as if it were the grossest thing she had ever seen. Doesn't it look delicious?!?!?
And there you go folks.
