--yesterday, all the grand ideas and big plans...
--today, NO ideas, NO plans, NO motivation...
Is there such a thing a pre-partum depression? If so I think I have it today.
OK nobody go looking it up because I already did and there *is* such a thing APPARENTLY but I am not really depressed--just lazy I think really! I was thinking about making a thrift-store-dropoff run this morning, but Victor had taken the car to work (to be returned at 11:00 when he got off for lunch), so I had to wait until then; but waiting turned into sitting around, wishing I were sleeping, etc. You know, I really wasn't just sitting around all morning, now that I think about it. I cleaned up the kitchen, changed a diaper (go me), put music on, made/ate/cleaned up breakfast, UMMMMMMM supervised potty breaks and drinks and snacks and WHATEVER else... replied to emails... broke up fights... enforced "quiet time" on the couch... OK yeah not too much to show for that kind of activity. :)
Anyway, I did finally take my stuff to Goodwill, and we drove around and did some random shopping (I was looking for a 2nd hand store that I saw an ad for but didn't remember EXACTLY where it was--no luck there), enjoyed an 85 cent lemon-berry slush from Sonic (thank you, happy hour!), came home, boys in bed.... Now what to do? I feel this terribly awful lethargy creeping around all my parts. (Sounds sinister.) I think I will put in a load of laundry and put yesterday's laundry away. (Go me.) Notice me trying to motivate myself. Hehe.
OOH I know! (A blast of--can it be--excitement??)
I will upload photos from last night's tall ship encounter. THAT is productive. :)
(I'm really sorry if you're reading this and couldn't care less about all my ramblings. If that is the case, I encourage you to stop reading. I'm writing to try to get myself out of my funk.)
(So, I totally am Supergirl. Pics are still uploading and I've already put in a load of laundry, taken trash out, tidied up the kitchen, AND used the restroom. Haha! OH AND checked and verified that yes, our new carseat fits PERFECTLY in the double stroller! Score!! Looks like it was made to go there, too.
Take THAT, odd-snapping-function-that-only-works-within-its-own-brand!)
GAAAH!! Shew. That was scary. Firefox closed and I thought I would have lost ALL of this IMPORTANT INFORMATION I had already written. Thankfully, that is not the case. So. Following are a few (
) photos from yesterday evening.
(I'm taking this picture from... maybe 1/3 of the way up the line (meaning 2/3 still behind me at least). There were a lot of people.)
(deceptive--you'd think the line stopped right there but NOPE. Wrapped all the way up and around... But it was a really nice day!)
(Originally I let Gabriel bring his little umbrella along as a sort of joke, like--
hehe, "in case it rains"--but then of course it did rain on us. And his umbrella was with the stroller, which we had to leave under this little pavilion b/c tall ships have you know, ladders and stuff...)
(Zachary working off steam. Little bodies can only sit in strollers for so long. An hour and a half is a little much.)
(I'm not really sure about regulations for flag-flying on ships in foreign ports or whatever, but the US flag was flying higher than Spain's flag on this ship. ???)
(My crazy, much-loved Gabriel--he didn't like the sun in his eyes)
(Love this one that Victor took--checking out the water I guess?)
(WONDER OF WONDERS, there was a FIRETRUCK on the way back to the car [yes those caps mean yelling--I'm trying to be like Gabriel when he saw the firetruck], and the very nice firemen, *somehow* noticing that Gabriel was excited about their truck, let him get it and even gave him a "fireman badge" sticker. He wouldn't get on without Victor though.
)
With that, Victor returns from work, chaos erupts as two boys get up from naps, dinnertime panic commences, SO I am off! I think we might play in the pool tonight. And I think we might have fried squash for dinner. Good evening!
