today

today a few things happened that i want to remember for today

not just in our weekly update.

because by this time next week i am sure i'll have forgotten.

and even though today has been a trying day

i still want to remember it. these are the pictures i have taken today

of my emi girl. nothing special.

i realized last night i was out of a fabric i needed to fulfill an order.

how i missed that i was out is beyond me

i'll blame it on pregnancy brain.

so off to hobby lobby we went

but before we could do that we headed to the car wash

because everyday for the last 2 weeks emi has reminded me our car was dirty

and we needed to give it a bath.

well really it was way past a bath, so we went to a detailing place

that is where incident #1 happen.

we decided to wait outside at a table while the car was washed

while sitting there i thought hey...

maybe she would like to see it through the glass windows inside

so back into the building we went.

well, we waved and said hi to the car while it was getting washed.

emi wanted to go back outside to our table

well, by then an older man was sitting in 'her' chair

all the seats where taken outside except the table next to 'our' old table

i suggested we sit at the new table and out the doors we went

as i opened the door this tall older man was talking to an employee

he was at least 6'5, very tall.

so we walk by him, or so i think we are.

well emi decided to have manners and hold the door open

 for someone else exiting the building, without me noticing.

well once this said person had exited emi came running to catch up to me

right at the same moment as the tall gentleman started walking

they had a big crash...can you guess who won?

emi skimmed her knee a little and started crying.

he apologized and said he didn't see her

i apologized she ran in front of him and said it was an accident.

well he got in his truck and that was that.

except for when emi stopped crying.

she kept going on and on about how he was as tall as a giraffe!!

and going on about giraffes don't push girls.

she didn't find it funny that every one could hear her and was laughing.

i was just glad he was in his truck and couldn't hear.

while we went to hobby lobby, i also decided to go to a

"specialty" nursing store for a nursing bra that was in the area

the "twins" need special fittings, and even then i have to order the biggest size

while i was in the dressing room which is more like a make shift room

no conversation is really private, i only tried on a few different bras

as they don't really make boulder holders in lots of varieties

ever single one, emi was like:

does it feel good? does it fit?

finally after the 10th comment i asked her to be quite

i think my exact words were: ok, no more talking!

i should have known better, she is my child

she said: excuse me! you don't need to talk so rude!!

you need to talk nice, or you'll have a time out!

then i hear the lady helping me bust a gut.

so i decide on my purchase and we check out. as quickly as possible hopefully.

while the lady is running my card, emi says:

come on this is taking so long, it's boring!

finally.... the lady says: thanks! have a nice day as we are walking out.

emi goes: thanks! have a nice day...blah blah blah!!

totally mocking the lady! which is something she does to me too...

i was like, i am so sorry! to the lady.

i then scolded emi, that was so rude and we don't make fun of people!

in which she says: mama, quit being so bossy!

please save me! she is only 3...

we finally make it to lunch which is tricky these days

emi doesn't eat a lot of fast food

she has taken a liking to bean burritos

and me, well anything i eat lately is giving me such bad heartburn

so we sit down to eat, i get emi all settled

and this is the response when she noticed i moved the tray

i guess she was obviously using it as a plate.

the two men on their lunch break were amused by her bratty-ness.

i however was not!

she said in her low, i'm in trouble voice:

HEY! mommy!! why you mov'in my tray!

why do i feel like i have to apologize to her?!?

i said i'm sorry, i didn't know you were using it.

by then i was ready for a nap!

so we went home and took a nap :)

i took need these naps, since i don't sleep well at night.

well, she didn't wake up in a good/refreshed mood like usual.

she insisted on watching a movie, in which i said no

she stomped her feet, she growled

i mentioned i don't to girls that talk rude.

in which i was told to stop being so bossy. sheesh!

i suggested she take a break in her room to cool down

the fit continued while i ignored her.

then all of a sudden she was gone. ahh! peace and quite.

a couple minutes later, she comes back....still mad

saying something about why am i the boss?!?

i think, like why do you get to decide if i watch a movie or not.

 

finally my saving grace came home and saved me!

oh eddie, thank you.

sometimes i just need a break from this 3 year old madness.

i made the suggestion he should take her to mutual

and he didn't even argue, he thought it was a great idea.

now here i am blogging, something i have been trying to do for 3 days.

 like any young mom, i rarely get any kind of break or personal time.

i'd rather be taking a bath or reading a book but blogging is the next best thing.

i'm sure i'll look back and miss these days

but for today.... i'm just glad today is almost over.
