So, you may wonder, what does a "single" mommy of a 14 month old do on a beautiful, sunny Thursday??? Well, let me fill you in. Today Di had to go to Spfld to meet with her lawyers, and Rowan and I decided to tag along for the ride (with gas at 4.14/gallon, I am all about a little carpooling!). First we hit up Tea Thyme for a little lunch. Rowan had the PB&J with chips, and I had a cup of chicken noodle soup and half a turkey sandwich on a croissant. It was delish!!! MMMM!!!!!!!!!:) After Di had her meeting, I thought it would be a fabulous idea to tour downtown, something we just never seem to have the time to do! The weather was cooperating, so why not! We hit up a few little locally owned shops; one worth mentioning is Porgy's; they carry everything from gorgeous sterling silver jewelry to imported extravagant pottery and glass work. It was really neat, and I am thrilled to report that my toddler kept his hands to himself, a feat in itself really!!!
We toured a couple other small shops, then got a couple of vanilla lattes...which I am sorry to say were the worst I have had...very, very bad! We didn't get to stay too long b/c we had to go by Pony Keg (a motorcycle place) to pick up some parts for my cousin before 5:00. I wanted to go to Old Navy to exchange a couple things I got last weekend, and ended up finding quite a few bargains. I was quite pleased!!!
Next, we were mall bound. Rowan had not had a nap, and was running pretty low on energy. He managed to do very well though, and must have caught his second wind...as he was running aimlessly around the carousal at the center of White Oaks! It was fun to watch the amazement in his eyes, as he stared in awe at the horsies! SO CUTE!!!
I was on a mission to find a swimsuit for this summer...new mommies out there, are you with me when I say it is quite a little shock to the system to try on swimsuits for the first time after childbirth??? WOWZA!!! They just don't look as good as they once did, but I did manage to find one. I also got a new dress shirt and two pairs of MUCH needed shoes. Oh, and I guess I should also make note that my son got his first pair of Crocks! They are so dang cute!!!
Rowan was starving, and I was also getting a little hungry, so we stopped by Auntie Ann's pretzels for a little bite to eat for the road...then I realized, whoa...it's 8:30, and we have a 45 minute drive yet!!! Well, Di needed to get gas and wanted to wash the car, so we got home somewhere around 9:45 tonight. Rowan was very happy to be home, as were we all. Now, Rowan is fast asleep, with little in his belly (may be up tonight!), and I am barely able to keep my peepers peepin'! Goodnight to you all.
Loves and Smiles!
