better luck tomorrow

so, i'm sure everyone is dying to know how today went. well, it didn't. the babysitter called around 11:30 am to say that she had somewhat of an emergency and had to bring her friend to the hospital. i guess the friend had some kind of an accident and got a concussion. well, that's the story. i'm sure what really transpired was... "hey, let's go to the beach today!" "oh, i can't, i have a new job to go to..." "just tell them a friend needed you to take them to the hospital, they'll understand" "ok.. cool... will do!"

oh, right before that, husband and i got in a little tiff because baby was fussing and husband made a comment like, i can't wait to get a babysitter in here so someone will play with baby finally. i took great offense to that comment because i feel like i give baby plenty of attention. it's not easy nor fun trying to entertain a toddler every second of the day. and one shouldn't have to either. kids need to learn how to entertain themselves. anyway, i just kind of let that one simmer and it's still simmering. it was so hot out today that going out to the park was not really an option. i decided to go to the mall to kill some time. i've always despised those people who bring their kids to the children's section of the book store to let them "look" at books and let them play. before baby was born and i went there to buy some books and a lot of them were so beat up that even if they were 50% off i wouldn't buy them. but today, i became one of those people. i now understand why they are there and i feel their pain. i wanted baby to burn off a little energy and get a little stimulation in the outside world and this was the only place i could think of to take her. and she had a blast. at least i bought a couple books and kind of paid for my time there.
