Today....stressful....good....annoyed....smiley.
Its one of those days. It started out rotten, yet perfect. I teach art classes to a small group of young children on Saturday mornings at a park in des moines. Today, apparently everyone forgot to email me that they wouldnt be at class. Luckily i had taken vaughn along this time which i have never done before. I went and had a feeling i shouldnt set up so i just took my things up to the shelter and didnt set anythign up. in the meantime Vaughn and I got to play on the swings (which she just loves), go down slides, play with the machanical thing, teeter totter, crawl on the play area...it was great... we got so into playing and having fun that when i looked at the clock, class was over and no one had ever showed up...good thing i didnt set everything up. i was really annoyed by them not emailing- but glad no one showed up so i could get some good ole play time in!
Hit a couple garage sales- nothing amazing but found a few "future preparing" outfits for Vaughn for the fall/winter and a few things for gabs and dre.
Vaughn elise didnt nap today- which was stressful as she was so tired when we got home from the park but just couldnt get to sleep...we rocked, fed, changed diaper, rocked some more, layed down with her, left the room so she could be alone...tried it all- no napping. Normally, this wouldnt bother me... I would just get her otu and let her play until she was ready to sleep. But today of all days we had to plan her 9 month pictures. I thought I would try target this time since portrait innovations was good, but pricey and sort of a stressful mess. so I got there...early- i apprently wrote the time down wrong. So we wasted time in target (always fun, but slightly less with a tired child.) the picture session was a disaster. the girl who took them was super nice- but one of those loud, high pitched, loud clapping, squeeling, tickling kind of girls that scared the CRAP out of Vaughn. So, she cried...and cried...and cried. All the pictures are either with me (which needless to say I was NOT prepared for) or with big alligator tears in her eyes. There were a few good ones but I ended up just getting one pose (in a package) and figure after she napped i would be better able to look at them online and pick what i liked...or just get them retaken. There are a few I would love to have (a crying one, so cute, on with me, some close ups etc.) but not htat i want more than one of....stressful.
oh well, Vaughn crashed on the way home and is still asleep. Poor thing, she is the best little girl and does so well even when she is tired, but i just feel badly that i cannot let her lay down and sleep when we are running errands....its hard to always time things around those nappies.
ANYWAYS, enough details about my day- tonight is kinney family potluck night. Always exciting, always great food....Delish.
