I put "Day off" in quotes b/c I sit here at Job #2, after a day off from Job #1. I took the day off with the baby and I have to say, we had fun today! We slept in (bliss) and took our sweet time getting to the library down the street for storytime. But what a pleasant surprise when we walked in and saw Puppet Pizzazz instead! I love those guys, in fact, I hired them myself back in the day when I worked at the public library. So baby got to experience a wonderful cultural event today, in my opinion. Then we sat and read 5 more books so she could reach the 40 level for the summer reading club and get her next round of prizes! While I read to her several other kids gathered around and looked over our shoulder, which I thought was adorable and also reinforced the fact that I was and always will be an awesome children's librarian!
Later we ran errands: dollar store, Central Police Supply so I could buy my new magazine holsters so I'm ready to ride to ride with Mudflap this Sunday, and groceries. I totally see why some moms of young kids lose weight. All I had to eat today was a sausage kolache this a.m. and then 2 tacos from Taco Hell, not eaten until 2:30 pm. You spend so much time running around with kids it's hard to find time to eat sometimes! Then S came home from work a little early so I could make it down to Job #2.
Last night after we gave the baby her bath and put her little butt in bed, S and I were cuddling downstairs and watching Seinfeld. We both agreed that it feels totally natural and good having her here with us. I don't even care too much about having to scramble to find childcare or telling her 6 times this a.m. to brush her teeth or having to buy $7 children's cough syrup. She makes fighting the good fight totally worth it.
Tomorrow: if I have the energy to do it, Chirren's Museum for the 1st part of the day--their 4th of July programs have got me totally intrigued! Later on, family fun at Tito J.'s brother's house.
