A puzzle piece fell into place on Tatum's no good, very bad weekend. She was running just the slightest fever this morning, and since both Wade and I figured the ear infection didn't get knocked out by the antibiotic Wade took her in to Nitehawk (pediatric urgent care). They checked her ears, checked for strep, uti, everything, but nada. Virus. So at least it's not an infection, yet… 😬

We had a fairly low key day since she was feeling kind of off. Naps, mommy treated herself to a MASSAGE (and it was ah-may-zing!), and then I grabbed my new additions to my Pyrex collection from my "dealer":

I present, PINK GOOSEBERRY!

I had the top bowl (the smallest) but she was able to complete my set for me! Really love them!!

After that we did our very first Walmart grocery pickup, and I have to say, I can't believe it took me this long to try it!! Should have listened to Sara!! No more lugging kids into Wally World for me! Woop Woop!

We braved it and went to Cotton Patch for dinner, and it went better than expected. Stopped off at the dollar store for me to get the little cups I use to stack my pyrex and Tatum picked out a flower. She was so pleased with it, and what the heck, it was $1…. right? I know, spoiled…

Tomorrow I have a whole stack of stuff to do so I'm really hoping she will feel well enough to go to school. I am so not ready to have both of them at home!!! She's been pretty much fever free since this morning so my fingers are crossed!!!

Until tomorrow!

I managed a little more productivity out of my day today!  While our sitter was still here this morning watching Wyatt I made it over to the storage unit and unearthed my pre-pregnancy clothes.  Why on earth I took them to the storage unit I have no idea, but the good news is I have some clothes that aren’t falling off me again!  =)

After that I packed Wyatt up and we headed off for our first (and now LAST) adventure of going to the grocery store with a month old baby.  Holy cow, even with wearing him in a ring sling it was one of the more exhausting hours of my life.  He did GREAT, don’t get me wrong, but there’s some issues that I didn’t really think through, like how you grab a 36 pack of bottled water and put it on the bottom of the cart with an infant in a ring sling.  I’m sure I’ll get it eventually, but for now I think the ordering groceries online for pickup is the way to go for sure!

A little grocery store funny: Another customer at Walmart approached me in line and said “Hey, didn’t I see you here last week with your dad and a different kid?  You didn’t have this one?!”  I responded with “Oh, you mean the toddler having the meltdown because Granddaddy was holding her when she wanted Mama to hold her, yeah, that was me!”  She pointed at Wyatt questioningly and I said, “He was at home with his Grandma, I’m crazy, but not insane. Two kids those ages in the grocery store? LOL”

So now I’m getting recognized by other random Walmart customers. A level of fame I never thought I’d achieve. =)

Check out how exhausted I look.  I can tell you’re impressed.  *grin*
