WIC day - Baby nudity

Today has been seemingly better than usual. My mom came to stay like she does most Thursdays, so I held off on going to do WIC stuff until she could go with me. While I was taking the time to lean over the sink and wash my hair I had Garrett sitting in his walker. Chelsea informed me, once I came downstairs, that Garrett was crying and she tried to "take care of him" by picking him up out of his walker....as far as she got was getting his shirt off! So I took him off and went back to drying my hair and then he came in naked! I thought for sure that I was going crazy. It turns out that once he was out he took off his diaper (it happens some mornings) and they were playing "catch". We call it ball in our house because he is just learning words so by calling it what it is he better understands what he is playing with.

We got our pedicure that we'd been waiting on for weeks and Chelsea got her toes painted. She picked purple with sparkles. TOTALLY CHELSEA. She soaked her toes and got all lotioned up and then stayed steady to get her toes painted. Never mind that it all came off within 10 minutes because she moved around in the chair trying to dry them. We still tell her they're beautiful. Then I did my WIC shopping, which is always awful. They give you these checks with limited numbers of items on them and then they have people with limited WIC knowledge to enter all the items. Sometimes things get missed and sometimes you can't find the things you need and it's just an all around hassle.

Once I finished my shopping I had to go drop some items off to my brother on the other side of town and it turns out it was his lunch break and I got to spend a whole hour with him, my mom, and my kids. It was a nice little change. Then I got home and the kids were sleeping and stayed asleep long enough for me to get all the groceries in the house while the rain was pouring down. Then they played and ate and are finally in bed. The bad part for this whole day is that John called around 5 and said he wouldn't be home until after 11. =C He said that he has to take a depper home after the PT meeting and then go to the hotel to train/workout/prep the guy that he put up for medical tomorrow. It reminds me how tough a job he really has and it really interfers with our family plans and the balance we have with out kids!
