Teatopia

Idiots abound around here (and some good things too)

V nice day today, with a couple exceptions.

Met with the mom's group again at Monkey Joe's. It's like Chuck-e-Cheese, but all the play things are inflatable, like a million different types of moonbounces so no one gets hurt! I went on everything with Olivia and held her. She had a blast playing with the other babies and bouncing up and down. I had a good time talking with the ladies (about our labors, what we feed our kids, about the hubbies, etc). But then . . .

I accidently kind of threw some kid off this one play thing. I say accidentally, but it was more like instinctually and on purpose because she was about to knock out my kid. OK, first of all, why don't people watch their children? There were a million kids jumping on people, acting irresponsibly, falling down, pushing peopls, and the moms were off in the sitting area gossiping. None of these moms were in my group thank goodness. This one little girl, who was probably 4-- old enough to know better, kept trying to get on this inflatable dinosaur while Olivia was sitting on it. Her mom was nowhere in sight and the girl came close to jumping on my baby several times, so I took Olivia off (we were in the middle of trying to take pictures) and waited until the girl left. Then, I wedged Olivia in the inflatable dinosaur and got my camera. In a matter of 2 seconds, the little girl nose-dived on the dinosaur and came about 2 inches from not only landing on my child, but headbutting her. Oh no you don't! I didn't have time to un-wedge Olivia, so I pushed the girl off the dinosaur, surely saving them both from concussions and saving her mom not only medical bills, but also my fist from hitting her in the face! The girl honestly could've killed Olivia with how hard she was coming down on her. The area under the dinosaur was inflated, so it's not like the girl would've gotten hurt at all!

After Monkey Joes's we all had lunch. Man, do these girls eat out! I can't afford to keep going out like this, and I wonder how they can? They're all stay at home moms too. Most of them are army wives, but my hubby is an engineer, so he makes good money too. Everyone there is so nice. This one mom, we'll call her German girl, (like GFF's Australia girl) is so much fun to talk to and her baby has the fattest cheeks ever! This other mom, with a really pretty, unusual name, has a 13 month old daughter who is so tiny and dainty, and gorgeous!

Next was voting time, and everyone joked that Olivia was the youngest voter that day. Some schmuck came up and asked how old my little boy was (yes, my little boy wearing the pink sweater which you can see below) and I know I gave him a look. I didn't even mean to, but he was like the 3rd one there to ask about my "boy." Hello??? Is everyone blind? He quickly said, "or is it a girl?" and I told him that she was. So then he has the nerve to tell me that she looks like a boy. Who freaking says that? She looks like a boy? Um, I don't think so. I should've told him he looked like an ass.

Her sticker says "Georgia Voter"

So off we go to Target and I bled through my clothes! GRRRR . . . I miss the days of not having a period!!! Nasty, nasty!

Later this evening, I finally stopped being a tight wad and let Olivia play with some food. I am way too neat and I need to get over it. I gave her some banana and let her wipe it everywhere. Good times people, good times!
