Monday Monday
Just another Monday, right? Except there was no school. Boo!
I was feeling really horrible yesterday with the stomach bug Mike had, which suuuuuucked big time. I wasn’t quite up to going to the gym, so it was off to Playtime at the Plex.
Usually I see a lot of people I really like, but today I only knew two moms, one that I hadn’t seen in over three years. The other one is a crazy lady who doesn’t feed her kids and does really bad things in regards to breaking MOMS Club rules. Whoo-hoo! Fun! Erik loves her girls, so we were stuck together.
Her weirdest complaint of the day: bags of fruit snacks always have an odd number of pieces so she always has to figure out how to handle that when she allows her kids to have a snack. Seriously? Have you guys ever had a bag of fruit snacks? There are maybe 7-10 small pieces in a bag. Wouldn’t you take two bags if you had two kids? Weirdo.
At least I learned I am not the most horrible mother in the world because I think it is weird to have your kid wear a helmet inside. The other mom, an ER nurse, turned to me and said “Seriously, who has their kid wear a helmet inside a padded gym?”
Yadda yadda yadda.
I just ordered Erik a bunch of maze books. My friend gave me the idea to have a nursing activity bag for Erik. Basically, the bag has quiet things that Erik can do while sitting next to me on the couch. The thought of quiet activities and Erik together kind of makes my brain hurt, but he does like mazes so maybe that will work. He got a tag reader for Christmas and hasn’t been too interested in it. Maybe I’ll get him a few more books for it and put it in the bag too. Any other ideas? Remember, this child hates to color. He likes to play with play-doh and puzzles, but those wouldn’t really be couch activities.
