What a day!
Started off pretty good. Met two friends and their kids for a walk down to our local river, kids had fun and we had a nice chat...it was a beautiful sunny day!
Then I took Aine and Aisling into Waterford to do some shopping in town...something I hadn't done for weeks. The day was beautiful, so I left Aine's sun canopy behind thinking I wouldn't need it since the rain cover wouldn't be used (it supports the rain cover and keeps it off Aine's head in the double buggy...pretty useless as an actual shade from the sun...). Well...I was wrong.
I went to a friends shop to feed Aisling, then the bank and a charity shop where I bought Aine the cutest Bear in the Big Blue House "dollhouse" complete with furniture and Bear for one euro! It was sprinkling outside. Aine started wanting to get out of the buggy. It started pouring. I wanted to get at least one errand run (pick up some new socks for Aine who was running out of ones that fit! I know...exciting huh!) picking up my books for my Book Club's September and October meetings will have to wait.
Got that errand run...and it was a torrent of rain outside. Aisling was covered by rain cover, but since I hadn't brought Aine's canopy she wouldn't let me put the plastic cover over her... I tried to have her under my umbrella but she insisted on holding it and screamed when I tried to take it away...she screamed a lot today. While trying to cross at a crosswalk during heavy traffic she dropped the umbrella and I ran over it...cars were trying to get through intersection as I retrieved umbrella so we could move...and I sprinted across the road.
The rain came down in torrents till I arrived home when a gorgeous sun popped out again. I was livid.
Needless to say, I didn't stay strong on the old WW front, as I decided to drown my frustrations in food, since I was already like a drowned rat! I'll just keep on trying every day to get back into the swing of things.
The rest of the day was pretty standard. Aine took a nap...I fed Aisling, fed Aine, played, y'know...the regular stuff...
I cut out some fabric for some star blocks I'm working on for an internet swap on www.scrapquilts.com forum and did a few applique heart blocks for my moms quilt. Now it is time for bed!
I'm exhausted!

that was not a good day...but there will be days like that my mama said..this mama anyway...but the good will outway the bad and the kid is so darn cute...what can you do...will call you later today...enjoy your company
Just keep telling yourself that this is the kind of day that will make a really amusing story next time you're sitting around with a bunch of girlfriends who also have kids (well, maybe not next time, but in 3 or 4 months)...
