Best laid
Plan for today:
- booked babysitter
- plan to go to work, fancy dress in car
- after work, go get hair done, change clothes
- go to cocktail hour of seasonal party for work
- meet Carl & go to the TSO
- come home to cherub, asleep, after a day at school and an evening of educational play, and happy home
Actual day:
- babe does not sleep for more than 40 min at a time all night despite administration of motrin due to fever (this after Carl stayed home with him yesterday, so not a complete surprise.)
- cancel babysitter
- go to Wal-Mart at 7:30 am to get armed with a new Caillou dvd, tampons, and diapers. How chic.
- get out “emergency toy” - Melissa & Doug toolset
- juggle work all day (’can I call you at… noon? [when my son is not babbling at Caillou at top volume or pounding with his workbench tools?])
- realize at 2:55 shirt is on backwards
- cancel hair apt after speaking with Carl, who is now officially behind due to his juggle yesterday and cannot leave in time for me to get hair done
- send regrets for seasonal cocktails
- give tickets to concert away
P.S. The M&D tool kit is the first of their toys I have been seriously unhappy with. The hammer already split along one edge and the pegs are really hard for an adult to get out once they’re hammered in. On the plus side I got a really cute sentence: don’t worry mummy duh hammer is a little broken and you are SORRY (this is an unusual length and the you syntax is new! whee!)

I hope the cherub is feeling better, and you get a chance for a dress-up night out sometime soon!
