Today was one of those days... Bryan had to work late last night and till 4 today, so needless to say i am exhausted by handling my sick terrible two year old all by myself...
Not that she is completely terrible - just has the "whinny I am sick and will cry over everything and will only eat ice cream" attitude that is putting me over the edge. And to top all that off we went to the doctor today after she woke up screaming "ooowiie" and pointing to her ear. Yup. a lovely ear infection on top of her ugly cough and runny nose.
Bryan was great enough to meet us at the doctor's office and we went to Noodles for some feel better macaroni. I then took some much needed "Alone" time and headed to Jo Ann's Fabrics.
My god, there were so many people there and they all had their coupons! All I wanted was a few sheets of felt and was going to pick up wooden letters for the new baby's nursery (they were a dollar off so I was going to save like $6) but when I saw the line, then saw the cost of the pillow inserts, I felt defeated. Seriously no one could have conquered with their sanity in tacked.
Tried calling my mom. She is always good in a crisis like this. Could not get a hold of her. So I turned to my lovely husband...
Wrong choice. I got the "Megan, I am trying to relax and you are just stressing me out over this." That is when my finger accidentally hit the end call button.
I walked out and got into my car, and cried. In front of a van full of old ladies with their knitting needles and gray hair. I am 100% sure they saw me, cause they all had faces of pity and concern on...as well as what the hell do we do?!?!
That is when Bryan called back and apologized. I cried some more and mentioned the fact that I had been holed up all day with out a great project taking care of a fussy baby on top of being pregnant and I just wanted a little understanding (even if it was over something insane).
I then made my way over to Michael's in search of a small project and to try and rectify what was left of my day. Success. They were having their framing sale and I needed frames for the nursery I have been avoiding like no other.
I got 8 frames for $50. Yup they were over 60% off. I feel much better, still exhausted from the day but a little bit more mentally stable. And I have taken a step forward with the nursery.
Speaking of the nursery I was sold on a Target set, very simple blue with brown dots, however the dust ruffle is no where to be found in stores, and shown but not available online. I am not sure if I want to risk buying the bumper and never getting a dust ruffle to match (doesn't have to be matchy matchy- I am not that person but I want something that looks good with it...). So I might be begging my Aunt to make me a custom bumper and dust ruffle out of some vintage looking dotted chenille ...
