Boogers and Spray Paint

It all started this morning, when I looked down and realized that I still can't see my feet.  Yup, those three hours of painful contractions and pushing had only been a dream.  So with a couple of heaves I literally rolled myself out of bed and went downstairs to say goodbye to my husband.  He asked what I had planned for the day.  Well, nothing.  Maybe going into labor, so I can't really plan anything!  So he gives me a few ideas (errands, really) and heads out to work, phone on its loudest setting just in case.

By 9:15 I had:
- Showered
- Eaten breakfast, and fed the Love Bug
- Called the pediatrician
- Dressed the toddler
- Got out the door

Success!!  Already a productive day, in my book.

We went to the OBGYN to turn in my pre-registration paperwork for the hospital, and fill out my birth plan.  At the office I felt like supermom - - I was very patient, let Love Bug push all the buttons for the elevator and opening handicap doors.  I had even thought to bring along the Kindle so he could play while I did paperwork in the waiting room.  As I loaded my son back into the car, though, I noticed a streak of boogers across my coat that had obviously been there for a while.

Like any supermom, I went searching for the wipes that I keep in the car for just this reason.  The diaper bag was nowhere to be found.  Concluding that my prego brain must have put it in the freezer, I decided there was nothing left to do but continue my errands, snot and all.  So I proceeded to go to the bank (luckily I just had to use the ATM - - no people), gas station, Home Deopt, and Michaels.

Now, my son loves to shop.  One of the reasons he loves shopping is because he gets to greet everyone we come in contact with.  So as I'm pushing the cart around hoping nobody notices my son's runny nose that has made its way all over me, he's doing his best to make everyone in the store look at him.  "Hi! Hi! Hi," he says, until each person looks at him.  Adorable.

Boogers aside, I was able to get the things I need to make shelves for our new little Peanut's room!!  Now I just have to figure out where I can use spray paint...
