Mommy rant!

Things that happened this morning:

(Note - stay at home mom rant incoming.)

1. Leave late because toddler takes over an hour to not eat a biscuit.

2. Take baby to doctor. Get prescription that they can't call in without you bringing baby in even though they literally just talk to parent and don't even look at baby (except the receptionist who wants to play with baby and does not answer the phone).

Note: Baby screams bloody murder because she does not like laying on scale to be weighed. She is otherwise happy and adorable.

3. Bring tired cranky baby home for nap. Baby refuses nap, but pretends she's going to nap just long enough to string you along for an hour.

4. Take not-napping baby to grocery store. Baby refuses to sit in cart happily unless she is allowed to eat car keys. Hand over keys. Pick up keys at least twice per aisle. Retrace steps to look for discarded pacifier which is less delicious than car keys.

5. Find out that pharmacy will not have prescription until tomorrow.

6. Walk outside to discover that it is raining. Load groceries, purse, diaper bag, and soggy baby in car.

7. Realize that baby is only wearing one shoe.

8. Debate leaving shoe at store. They have a lost and found . . . right? Decide against this plan because it is the only pair of shoes that fits baby.

9. Take baby back into store to find shoe in frozen food section. Consider buying ice cream. Wallet is in car . . . nevermind.

10. Return soggier baby, with shoes, to car.

11. Still make it to preschool in time to pick up toddler. Success!!
