Is it me or is my hair crunchy?

Ahhh the joys of parenthood.  Bear with me this is going to be long.  Monday was quite a day.  The girls were out of school so we went shopping for new shoes- gotta teach them early the importance of cute shoes.  Then we headed downtown and took Daddy to lunch, lots of fun getting to see him during the workday for all of us.  He took to us to a greasy little hamburger joint that we all enjoyed.  We were going to head on over to the zoo afterwards but the rain caught up with us so we went to The Dessert Gallery instead.  Hmmm....rainy zoo or dessert?  Easy choice!  As we pulled into the parking lot I asked the girls what kind of cupcake they were going to want and Blayne says, "You mean we get to eat it?!"  "Of course!" I replied, why wouldn't we eat I thought?  Oh, she thought we could only look at the desserts because afterall it is a "gallery" she explains.  I love that she was still excited to go before she knew she got to eat something. 


Blayne got a chocolate cupcake with chocolate icing, Bree got a pink one, and momma got carrot cake- DEVINE!  After our sweets we headed out.  Now here is where our fabulous day gets interesting.  The girls wanted to go by Hobby Lobby on the way home (another BAD habit from Mommy) and I needed coffee. So instead of getting on the freeway and heading to Katy, we head back towards town for a Starbucks.  Then I saw the Stonemill Bakery...oh such memories from pre-kiddie years of shopping with my mom on a Saturday.  We would stop here always for lunch and an oatmeal raisin cookie to go.  So I decide we MUST pop in for some cookies to take home, as if we haven't had our fill of sweets already.  As we are standing in line, Bree, who is in my arms, suddenly realizes that greasy hamburger and pink icing don't mix so well.  She lifts her sweet little head up from my shoulder looks into my eyes and...blahhhh- throws up ALL over me.  A-W-E-S-O-M-E!  The 20 something yuppie in front of us had the most horrified look on his face.  Hello? haven't you ever seen vomit before?  And besides there is just a tiny bit on the floor, the rest is on my chest that she is now laying on, so you really can't see too much.  "Blayne get me some napkins please!  No, I'm going to need more than one...more than two, LOTS!"  Yuck, pink vomit, I can feel it on my back, I think it's it's in my bra.  We must make a haste exit...or should we?  Those cookies are right there, I can see them calling my name.  I really did think twice before leaving without those cookies, they are soooo good.  After stripping Bree down at the car and wiping myself down I lock her in and close the door only to see myself in the reflection on the window...nice...
pink-vomit-in-my-hair....oh well, at least it's only a 30 minute drive home.

Yummy, Yummy in my tummy...not for long Mom!

  1. Stopping by from SITS. Those who are not parents are so grossed out by a little vomit (or poop even). I knew I was a mom when my son puked and I just reached over and let him do it in my hands. Ahhh true love!
