Haven't done one of these for a while, but I thought I'd join in on MckMama's blog carnival today. It's been one of those weeks! But let's keep it limited to this weekend, eh?
First, we had some fun plans for Saturday night, so I absolutely did not completely forget to ask our babysitter if she was available. Especially not since I'd given up scrambling around at the last minute for Lent. DKG & I then did not try a couple other options, but end up deciding we couldn't make it to the party. We then did not start out on a crazy West-side adventure that caused my sweet Kumquat not to get a nap all day and ended with us driving home on local roads with a mattress strapped to the roof of the car. In the middle of this, our sweet neighbors also did not find a sitter for us because they were sad we wouldn't be able to go!
So, as I was getting ready, DKG did NOT make arrangements to exchange is sad iPhone at our nearest* Apple store the following day... which certainly would not happen to be in Tulsa. That's a quick little 182-mile jaunt each way.
*By "nearest" I mean the nearest store where he would be able to exchange his phone for a working one that day. Unfortunately, that did not include the stores in KC or OKC.
I absolutely did not agree to go with him on the trip with our little Kumquat. Six hours in a car with a 16-month-old for a there-and-back trip? That would be crazy!
While we were there, we did not stop for dinner at The Cheesecake Factory...especially not since I've really been trying hard to watch my calories. I also did not even take one tiny little bite of a super-yummylicious "slice" of wild blueberry white chocolate cheesecake. I mean, I'm guessing it would have been super-yummylicious if I had totally eaten half of it taken a teensy bite. I also would not have given the Kumquat some of the cheesecake or pounds of whipped cream with it. Certainly not when she would follow that massive dose of sugar by being strapped into her carseat for 3 hours. Surely that wouldn't be a good idea! Good thing I didn't do it.
Oh, and I am also not the luckiest mama ever whose sweet girl was a silly, giggly angel for the entire trip!
Nope, not me!!
Ha! Sounds like a fun weekend! I'm so happy you had a great traveler, as my little angel would NOT have sat nicely through a 6 hour car ride, even if I promised him cheesecake. :)
