Finally went grocery shopping, feels good to have food in the house again. Although today we threw some meat away! I can't wait to have another mouth to feed, it' so hard to make food for two people. And not, like 8.
JoAnn's had a big presidents day sale this weekend and it was great. I ended up going three days in a row. I've been trying my hardest to get crafty again. They were selling McCall's and Butterick patterns for 99¢! I bought ten. Then went back the next day and bought fabric and findings for two. I spent like $60, the second day which was ridiculous. I want to go back and return this one piece of pre-quilted fabric in particular that was sold by the panel and ended up being $20. So anyway, I bought a basic layette pattern for Isaac as well as a bunting pattern.. I also bought a pattern for a shopping card seat cover, and a tepee, for when he's older. I regret that I brought Michael, he made it hard to do anything. He's so whiney and apparently can't do anything himself. I couldn't look at the patterns for myself. Just for what he would think we needed. I did get patterns for valances for the kitchen and out bedroom. Currently our bedroom has mini blinds that remind me of the world war two window shades my friend Jo found in her addict. No light can come in. I had no idea that there were such patterns as "wardrobes." Which are a few pieces of clothing that all go together. I would definitely like a better look at those. Also on this pattern subject, I found it very strange that there are so few unisex or male patterns for babies! I mean I know, one could leave off the frills, but it just seemed strange. I really just want this pattern from Folkwear. Oh I also got this hat pattern. Now that he can hold his head up it's only fitting that we should decorate it.
Diane bought a car seat! Woman I can't stand, won't be getting in the car with, won't be watching Isaac without me. Bought a car seat. Gah. She went completely insane and called Michael like 12 times on monday because he wouldn't pick-up. My phone was off some how, but I'm sure she was calling me as well. My mom and I went over and visited her on sunday, and she wasn't too horrible. Isaac did scream, a lot. Usually he doesn't at all. I was so happy in this break from her, we really hadn't seen her since christmas. I was talking about this to my mother and she said, "well you know, she could sue you." sweet jebus that's an awful thought.
The digital camera is driving me nuts. First downloading the driver wasn't working. Then my mom found the software CD, so I realized that the USB connection wasn't working. So I went out, bought a new cord, but it's the wrong one. In the meantime my mom went out and bought a mini card reader, which doesn't work. Then last night she IM's me, right as I leave saying, "come over tomorrow to pick-up this cord I found." But when I wake-up she's already taken the car, and not left the cord. GAHHHHH! It's almost been a month of fucking around with this piece of shit, and only now she decides to look for another cord. The cord they gave me with it, was just some random cord. Like maybe they found it on the sidewalk or something.
I am getting over a cold. Which I’ve had all since maybe Thursday. Last night Michael replaced the flapper (or something) in our toilet and so this morning he goes, “I didn’t get a thank you.” I’m like, ”for what?” “For doing the toilet thing when I’m not feeling well.” So I said, “I didn’t get a thank you either.” So of course he asks, “for what?” I say, “for doing everything I normally do, plus staying up late because you wanted to watch TV, making you dinner, and letting you sleep while Isaac screams for two hours about his teeth, WHILE I’VE BEEN SICK ALL WEEK!” “AND I’M NURSING.” My baby is freaking 20+lbs. and I don’t think anyone appreciates the amount of milk I’ve had to make to grow a freaking giant baby in four months. Honestly, it’s tiring. Despite what people may think, milk just doesn’t show up, my body has to make it.
The house is pretty clean because of the girls my mom hired for me, they rock. They were coming over tomorrow, but I forgot that tomorrow is the two-hour project runway. Which I am very much looking forward to. If Wendy wins, the viewers are going to kill Heidi Klum. So tomorrow I’m going to try an make Isaac’s bunting. Can’t wait.
