I didn’t accomplish nearly enough today to be feeling this tired.
Dekker and I spent the day in the city with my mom. I had an appointment around noon and then we went out for lunch. I can’t remember the last time I was at Red Lobster but my goodness, it was amazing. Clam chowder, caesar salad with shrimp, and those heavenly biscuits. We ordered Deks a kids mac and cheese with strawberries on the side. Hey! That was supposed to come with milk! Just realized that… Anyway, it was really yummy. We headed to Superstore from there and did our shops. I only had about seven or eight things on my list and couldn’t find three of them. I hate that. I always feel a little frustrated when I can’t finish my list. But it wasn’t a huge deal at all. At one point, we were walking around the the diary aisle and Dekker started making quite a bit of noise. Some screeches. Not my favorite. I told him he was being too loud and could he be quieter. Another screech, clearly an “I’m tired, mom!” screech. I said back “I’m tired too, but I don’t get to cry.” Seems logical right? I got a good laugh from a few nearby ladies, along with comments like “That’s a new one!” and “Speaking for all mothers.” I was kind of embarrassed, but laughed at myself and the situation. I guess I need to readjust my indoor voice.
From Superstore, we headed to a nearby mall that had a Safeway attached. I found one of the things I couldn’t find, and gave up on another. The last thing, I can’t find and really really want to! Pre-made gingerbread dough!! I read that Pillsbury made it, and I figured it would be all over, being that its Christmas. But no! And not even empty areas where it had been bought out. I can’t find the stuff anywhere, and I was really looking forward to a really easy cheat cookie.
Literally, my day stopped there. I drove home, put Deks down to finish his nap up that he had started in the car, and now I’m in bed. My feet are throbbing for some reason, and my eyes are droopy. I didn’t even do anything!!! But I’ll take it. I’m actually hoping my fatigue lasts later into the evening so I can sleep at a good time.
However, Brady and I did mad libs last night before bed, which was sooo fun! I’d like to stay awake for that again.
