All things considered (being single mom for nearly a month now while JT works), I had a great Mother’s Day. Both girls slept until 7 am, which I accepted as the best gift ever – extra sleep!
We went to church where the pastor spoke the truth: “sometimes you can be like a tea bag, you never know how strong you are until you are in hot water”. Truth. I feel like I have been in hot water since JT has been gone.
Decided to take myself and he girls out to my favorite lunch spot, Jason’s Deli. I don’t usually like to take both girls out to eat by myself, because it’s not very enjoyable and I don’t really get to eat – but I did it anyways and it was great! Who can turn down free mini muffins, great sandwiches and free ice cream?! Not me.
Everyone had good naps (can I get a Hallelujah?) and we spent a couple hours down at our neighborhood church (not the one we attend) and played hard.
Well, they played hard and I took pictures and got to relax. Win win.
We made 73 attempts at a Mother’s Day self timer picture.
The best I could do with the heavy camera balanced on the stroller, and me not really being able to see on the screen if we were going to be in the frame. Oh well, good enough and I’ll take it.
I swear, I can’t even the leave the room to go potty without them both coming in with me….but once we go somewhere I can’t keep them reeled in. Crazy kids.
And by the way, aren’t these dresses the cutest?!
The models are pretty darn cute, too.
Buying these dresses was quite the story, that I will try and shorten….
I bought them at our trip to the Boardwalk with my mom last week, it got kind of hairy in the store – both girls wanted to run amok and we were kinds frazzled. I meant to buy a size 12-18 mo and 4T. Well, in my frazzled state of mind, I bought two size 4T. And realized it when I got home and put the 4T on Emma Kate and saying, ‘wow, that’s long’. Looked at the tag and saw my mistake. Grrr.
The next day Taylor was at school, so my mom, EK and I drove back out with EK falling asleep in the car. I left them two in the car and ran in to make a quick exchange.
Walked quickly to the back of the store, grabbed the 12-18 mo and brought my bag with the size 4T, and the 12-18 mo in my hand I meant to buy to the counter where the cashier told me the size 4T dress wasn’t on my receipt. …..WHAT?! There are actually TWO of them on there!! She insisted a couple more times, that the dress I was trying to exchange wasn’t on my receipt. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, LADY?!
Basically, she was accusing me of stealing. I still can’t figure out what she thought I was doing. But if I was going to steal, I am not going to do it while you are watching me! In my hurried state, to get the 12-18 mo dress and back to the car I looked suspicious….? I told her what I had done by purchasing two of the same size….it took her a minute to figure it out, and made the exchange for me. Never once apologizing for her accusation. What is wrong with people these days?
Needless to say, I was angry about the whole thing. But, got the correct sized dresses, nonetheless.
Anyways, back to my Mother’s Day….
We came back and watched the Ranger game and went to bed. It was a great Mother’s Day, despite JT being gone. Thanks to my girls for giving me a great day!
