Momentum fizzled out

Big day today. Lots of shopping with Nicole (my sister) in Idaho Falls. It was much more fun to go with her - Soren thought so, too. We hit up places for a new car seat (decided to buy online), a new printer (best buy at Target - Nicole bought the last one), household goods at Walmart (forgot to grab conditioner and lotion - dang it), drop off check at Bank of America (closed on Saturdays - dang it), food at Winco (Geez - I bought too much).

Phew... big day. Soren did awesome... until....

...Three diarrhea diapers once we got home. The last one squirting through my shirt, undershirt and bra. I blame the chicken we just introduced him too. Ironically, I had just given him a bath and clean pajamas. And just like Murphy's Law - once I need to give him a second bath, the hot water was gone. Scott had to heat water on the stove for me to give him a sponge bath. All I could think about was the horrible time when he was 4 months and had diarrhea for 3 weeks.

And needless to say, all my motivation for unpacking and organizing my new home tonight has disappeared. All I can do is put on my pajamas and lie on the couch with a feel good book. If I can't find what I was reading before the move - "My Cousin Rachel" by Daphne du Maurier, I might pick up Pride and Prejudice again. All the stacks surrounding me will have to wait.

I still have days like that - when all motivation is sucked out of me by something with the kids. Hope you have a better day today :).

That is lots of shopping. Poor Soren, hope he feels better soon. Good luck with the unpacking, you'll get there, don't fret!
