My Day

1.  I practiced my parallel parking skills just now for the first time since coming home from Japan.  The Paul would have been proud of my technique.

2.  On my way out of the place I was eating, a man hit my perfectly parallel parked car.  Awesome.  The good news is THE TANK took no damage.  Let's hear it for the Geo!

3.  My boss just asked me if I know of a good "groomer".  I thought he meant for his dog.  I told him I'd ask my sister-in-law where she went for her cocker spaniel.  He said he just wanted a hair cut for himself.  Well, whatever.  Stop using words that don't belong.

4. After much research, it has been determined that baby Carolyn prefers Pitbull and Katy Perry to lullabies. 

5.  I put a new air freshener in my car today.  It smells like fruity alcohol.  At least what I picture fruity alcohol to smell like.

6.  Carolyn flipped from her back to her tummy twice last night.  I'm unsure whether it was a skill learned or a complete accident.  I'm leaning toward the latter.

7.  Carolyn had her four month shots today.  She cried real tears.  The nurse said to me, "You've got to be one of the least dramatic mothers I've ever met.  Most mothers bawl their eyes out when their babies get shots."  Ironic, don't you think, that I'm so calm when it come to Carolyn getting shots and so hysterical when I have to get my own.

8.  Rao's Bakery has the best hot chocolate in town.  Period.

9.  I took my resume to a spa today.  I had no idea I'd get an impromptu interview - I was wearing flip flops and a sweatshirt and carrying a still-screaming infant.  It could not have been more awkward.

10.  I also stopped by the daycare to finish up some paperwork.  I almost had another nervous breakdown.  There were five of the nine babies screaming.  And the workers could only handle two at a time.  Plus, the daycare director kept calling me "Baby" and "Mama" and "Love" and "Precious".
