What I want

Now that we have a little monkey baby, what I want matters a whole lot less than when it was just Bill and I. I used to live the life! Drinking lattes and exercising whenever I wasn't working. Let me tell you how life has changed for me now...

We decided to test out baby's driving endurance today by taking him on a drive to the local outlet mall.
That was a brilliant idea, except it turns out our child is not a shopper. He yelled in every story and threw a full-on fit in the T-mobile store. Oh! And he pooped 3 times during the 5 hours we were gone and guess how many wet whipes I had with me? 3! It was close.

We had to pull over the car to breast feed when we were only 15 minutes from home. Bill was irritated. I was exhausted. And baby just wanted us to know that he doesn't like to shop.

After that fiasco Liam slept like a baby so I hurried to get my weekend project done: clean out the entry way closet. Then I had to scramble to get a swim in, even though I was exhausted and wanted a nap. I managed to swim 10 x 100 on 2:00 (1:45 pace which I am not too distressed about for now) and 10 x 50 (I know! Norwegian designed workout). I got home around 6pm, ate leftovers, did the dishes, breastfed, folded laundry, and now here I am, finally getting to the blog while Bill puts the baby down for the night. And I did all this without caffeine.

And in even more important news, we got just the right photo for our holiday cards. Only minor nudity is involved. I will share the design after we get them in the mail. Hope your holiday planning is going well, if so, why don't you come borrow Liam for the day?
