"Relax! Don't do it, when you wanna get to it..."

It is pretty difficult to find motivation to do anything with this piece of heaven on my chest. I just want to sit and snuggle and smell her head and soak up her freshness all day long. 

Soren missed his playmates when the big kids went to school today, so I decided to take him to storytime at the library for a little socialization. 

Of course, by the time I showered, fed Sloane, dressed everyone, and placed my online grocery pick up order, we had missed toddler time. We made it just as preschool time was ending. On the bright  side, we saw a friend from church there and got to visit a little while. Soren really liked the Lego duplo animals there and we built a Lego ("yay-goes") fort for his lion. 

Then the car wouldn't start. :(

Dead battery.

My friend gave me a jump, and I spent the next 2 hours waiting at Walmart with two tired and hungry babies while the battery was getting replaced. Walmart was the last place I wanted to take my new baby...which is why I had opted for pick up groceries in the first place. Oh well. Strangers reached into the car seat and touched her, everyone was coughing, and Soren touched everything and crawled all over the floor and chairs in the the siting area, I'm sure we picked up plenty of germs. Ick. 

We finally got out of there just in time to go pick up the kids from school, feed and change Sloane in the van and zip back down to bentonville to pick up our groceries. It doesn't sound like we accomplished much today, but I'm still super tired. Aaron has training meetings at the church starting right after work until late tonight, so I'm serving the kids grilled cheese and letting them watch tv until bedtime. They're thrilled, and I'm patting myself on the back for survival skills.

I've decided the dead battery is the universe telling me it's too soon to be putting on real pants and attempting to go anywhere. We're going back to sweatpants and snuggling tomorrow for sure, and staying that way until Soren begs for socialization again.
