i may never go to joannes again
today i planned to take the kids to the mall for lunch with Ben. I left the house early planning on swinging by Joannes to use my 50% coupon on some flannel--they get their shipment on thursdays. but when i got there I noticed that all the flannel was $2 again! That was the price last week and i stocked up a little then, but holy crap--2 weeks in a row!?? so i started piling all the new flannel in my cart!! poor presley was starting to get squished but oh well! i had like 147 bolts ready to go! I had to wait a little bit so i was starting to get nervous that we would be late for lunch with Daddy. Presley was acting out a little bit. Like, he climbed out of the cart with one leg and said "I'm peddaling!"
so i'm standing there getting my 289 bolts of flannel cut when I hear one of my babies start to fill their diaper. It was Presley and it sounded bubbly. I told Pat to just keep cutting the same number of yards and I was going to go change his diaper. I start to push the cart away, when I see a brown puddle on the floor. oh my... so i checked his pants and sure enough, he had all these wet, brown spots down his legs. and she still had like 93 bolts left to cut! so i just stood there waiting, while Presley said things like "we cant roll through the poop!" and "I got poop on the floor!" the ladies around us just kept cracking up at us. haha. laugh away. then he started blowing air on katie's head so that her hair moved. He blew on her hair so much that he started coughing...he coughed so hard that he started puking! i grabbed the wetbag and cought most of it inside. oh my word.
so finally $118 later, we were outta there! i had called ben and told him we werent going to be able to make it b/c little man now needed a bath, but presley was still INSISTANT that we go to DADDY'S WORK! Normally i would just have said NO WAY, we are going home and getting you in the tub!! we cant go to the mall with crap all over your pants!! But I've been learning to go with the flow (no pun intended) and get more AP....so i swung by the house and grabbed fresh pants, a stack of wipes, and new sox (because i'm sure his current sox were full of diarreah).
so off we head down the street to the mall. we are already late for ben's lunch break, and he wasn't answering his phone, so i didnt know what to do! i kept texting him and when we pulled into the parking lot i looked in the back seat and noticed.....presley was asleep.
aah. so now i dont have to worry about cleaning him up at the mall in front of God and everybody. BUT, the evil, lazy mommy in me was so tempted just to let him continue his much-needed nap. BUT, i got him out and tried to change him without waking him up. of course once his booty was bare, he woke right up and started in with the tears. but i quickly made him happy by giving him one of the suckers he gets only as a reward for going potty on the toilet. He ate that in the tub. And do you think after he was all cleaned up and dressed, that he was sleepy again???
NOOOOOO. so, despite the fact that I have only gotten 4 hours of sleep and that the boy was up at SIX AM!! we are not taking a nap today.
but on a brighter note, this is all my new fun flannel!!
that is now soaking in an icy bath of vinegar!
oh, and I never told what I used my 50% coupon for!
I would like to introduce the newest member of the Jones family!!!!!
