Title: A very crappy Mothers Day
Category: sad
Blog Entry: It was only my second one but not really anything positive to say about it. I'll start with the day before though. On Saturday dh and I went out for a date night and left Emily at my inlaws house. We went to see the movie: "Baby Mama", which was hilarious if you don't mind not being pregnant. I don't think I would recommend it to ttc'ers because if I hadn't had Emily I would have been crying through most of the movie. :-( Anyways, after the movie we had some dinner at the mall ( yes, my dh is a cheapskate lol) and then we went back to my inlaws house to pick up Em. My inlaws didn't check Em's diaper, it seems like. They changed her at 4 pm like I told them to but didn't check for poopies. So while I was talking to a neighbor dh changed her diaper. Of course, poopies if left in the diaper too long can cause a diaper rash. So the night before Mothers Day I spent waking up every so often because Em was uncomfortable. At 2 am I finally had enough and changed her diaper, put some A+D on her (which made her scream so I took it off and put powder on instead) and gave her tylenol to help with the pain. Fast Forward to the morning, she slept in til 8.30 am, which I've been wanting for weeks but I had to wake her up to go to church. By the way, I didn't get anything for Mothers Day. After church we went to my inlaws house to go to lunch. People didn't show up until 1.30 pm. Em's nap was supposed to be around 1 but she was having fun at the neighbors house. I told my inlaws I should stay there so Em can take her nap, but my fil's answer was: "You can stay here, we'll just take her with us." So we all went out and of course Em was not in her best mood. She had some giggles at the table when I tickled her but tried to climb on the table and put her feet on it, which of course wasn't appropriate. By the time the main menu finally arrived I've had it. I told dh to just get a doggy bag for my meal and left to put Em in the car. I was driving around inside the parking garage b/c dh had the ticket to get out of it. I drove around for about half an hour, listening to Em screaming most of that time. By the end of it I was crying too. Dh came and we left the parking garage, where I found out that we didn't need to pay for it and I could have gotten out of it all along. We made it about half way to my inlaws house when Em finally fell asleep. By then it was 3.30 pm and she had been up for 7 hours. She slept til 5.30 pm and when we got home at night she got a bath and went to bed at 8.30 pm. She slept through the night and is sleeping in again today. This Mothers Day will be the worst for a while, I'm sure. It's hard to top and next time I'm in the same situation, I'm going to listen to myself instead of everybody else.
