And I didn't even sneak in a trip to Starbucks
Barnes and Noble is kind enough to have storytimes for kids. I've never been, since the day and time conflict with another activity (One for me, that includes cheap, on-site babysitting. Call me selfish.) My normal activity wasn't meeting today, so I modified my escape plan.
Between Jamie and Katie, we almost didn't get out. Jamie is re-adjusting to life during non-holidays, and the adjustment involves a lot of screaming and crying. Katie is still trying to sleep only on my boob or in the car. Naturally, I finally got her to sleep about half an hour before we needed to leave. And naturally, she woke up after 30 minutes, catching just enough of a nap to make us about 15 minutes late, but not getting the good solid rest she needed.
So, we drive 30 minutes, park nearby and walk fast. And it was still over by the time we arrived. I drove an hour for a 15 minute storytime that we missed.
I don't think I'll be trying too hard to make that event again.
