If I were still 12 years old, my behavior today would have led my mother to utter an infamous phrase, something I heard quite often growing up:
“LAND SOMEWHERE!”
Whenever I got in a flighty mood, full of energy and frenzied activity, I would inevitably get the directive to “land somewhere” before I drove her insane. I don’t know what led to the increasingly frantic activity today. I did a BIG shopping trip (in which I got tons of baby fruit, ON SALE, I’m still making his veggies), diapers, wipes, lotion, vitamins, etc. in addition to perscriptions, contacts, and a whole host of other things that have been on my to-do list for a week. Then I came home and realized: I need to go to Utah. It’s around this time of year that John and I usually go see his parents in Colorado, but since his sister is visiting in and around Utah, I think that’s where a lot of the activity is centering this time of year. I have the chance to see everyone, most importantly my Mom-in-law, and to let them all see Camper. I’ve never ever spent even one night away from John since we’ve been married…so I am nervous. But it had to happen one day, right? And this is for a good reason. It’s for family. So yes, we are going. All of this led to getting tickets and rental cars and rental car seats worked out (thanks Dad, for playing along and helping out) and waking John up for his night shift with a calendar and pen in hand, ready to make plans. Poor guy. Sent his head spinning.
Camper was all off his schedule because of all the excitement (not to mention I brought him to the doctor today, I wanted to make sure he didn’t have an ear infection…I think it’s just teething) and didn’t go to bed until just now…an entire hour late. I had to use a bottle and a conference talk to get him to konk out. But konk he did, and now I’m left with a room full of laundry that needs folding, and a hundred plans to make in my mind.
In other news, I did NOT fall off my shoes while out today. Which is good. But I’m hoping tomorrow I can have a quieter day. Quieter would be nice, just hanging with the Bubbs. We shall see. But I’m going to Utah. Soon.
