the look

A little background.
I am a stay at home mom. I have a 3.5 year old and a 3 month old. I love them and I love that I get to be home with them. I also do my best to keep up the house, do everybody’s laundry, shower, work out, write, work part time for HurryDate, blah blah blah.
The story of every housewife. Right?
Anyway, both my kids were sick last week which kept me quarantined to my house and unable to see adults, the sun, or a shopping mall. Ya, it was tough. Really tough. I mean, sniff, I barely made it through….
So, today I got dressed. I did my hair and I put on my favorite mascara. I even wore my new gray boots. And I left my man with both kids and took off. My big outing? A one year old’s birthday party. Once there I realized the opportunity I had before me. I was out of the house without kids! I had makeup and cute clothes on! And I was at a birthday party??? With kids??? It was Noah though, and he’s worth it for sure. I mean, he’s betrothed to my daughter, so it’s more like a family function.
Anyway.
After I left the party I called Jimmy to check in. I had only been gone an hour.
Me: Hey babe, how are things?
Him: When are you coming home? Taylor isn’t asleep yet and Chloe is crying. I thought today was going to be a relaxing day and it’s not turning out that way. Grump, grump, grump…..” (he went on, but I tuned out. Thanks dad for that useful skill!)
Me: Okay then, be home later. Bye.
Somehow instead of driving home though, my car took me to Ross. And then an hour and a cute purse later, I unknowingly ended up at Marshalls as well. It was weird. I mean, I wanted to go home, but just couldn’t fight the force. And time was just flying by. Purses, shoes, and clothes, OH MY!
Flash forward a few hours after putting Tay to bed.
Him: I feel like I’m about to flip out. I can’t handle anymore of the whining! I mean it’s been all day, and then taking care of Chloe and the house. I mean, I am going to lose it. I really am.
Me:
Have I mentioned that he hates that look?
