Head meet desk.
My face hurts from politely smiling. My plan has been to take the kids to Dragon Con. Why?
1. They like their stroller. Time in their stroller means time I'm not strapped to them.
2. I need to leave the house. Any excuse to leave the house is a good one.
3. Mike will be at Dragon Con so I can either be home alone with the kids or out and about with the kids. Out and about is more fun.
4. I need exercise. Pushing the stroller is very mild upper body exercise. Walking is very mild lower body exercise. Excuse to exercise? Hooray!!
5. Mark is there and I would like him to meet the kids. Mark and I know each other. We know what each other looks like. He does not know what my spawn looks like...IN PERSON. And it's important the kids know Uncle Mark. Uncle Mark will eventually have his collection of black action figures take over the world and if Uncle Mark doesn't recognize the kids they could accidentally be taken out. It's important that does not happen.
6. Didn't I mention it'd be something to do to keep my mind from completely atrophying and falling out while Mike is away? I mean nonverbal poop monsters are only such good company for so long.
So while I greatly appreciate it, WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP SUGGESTING I GET CHILD CARE FOR MY KIDS? I'm not going to Dragon Con to do anything. And if I can't get into the hotel without a badge? I'll sit on the damn side walk. The point is to WALK. I mean honestly I thought about it and I'm not even sure I could maneuver the stroller through the hotels so I'll probably avoid them in the name of wandering around.
