Ok, so yesterday I mentioned I was going to go donate some food to the Ronald McDonald House family room in the hospital. And I was a little let down. I stopped at the grocery store this morning to pick up a few more things and then headed to my friend Emily's house. She and her little boy went with us. We drove to the hospital, packed all the food and drinks in Liam's stroller, since it was too much for us to carry and carry our little ones, and headed up to the room. When we arrived, there was an old man sitting behind the counter. I informed him that I too, was a volunteer and that I had brought some food to donate to the room. He lead me to the storage closet and told me to put it all in there and then he proceeded to go back to the desk. No thank you. No measily little thank you for donating my time and money and food. I was kind of disappointed. I mean, I am extremely happy to help out any way I can, and trust me, I would do it again in a heart beat, but it would be nice to be appreciated. I know if I had taken the food directly to the house and not the family room, they would have seemed very grateful. However the family room needed it more. So, I'm just glad I did it.
Well, enough complaining. I heard some VERY exciting news today. However I am unable to share it because I want to respect privacy so maybe later. :)
All day, I was looking forward to going to a Mary Kay party tonight, not to spend hundreds of dollars on makeup I don't need but just to have a fun mom's night out. And then realized it's not until tomorrow night but I was able to squeeze a jog in today instead. It was a lot easier to jog without pushing 50 pounds of stroller and baby around. My mother so graciously babysat. And it was a lot cooler later in the day. It had rained earlier and so it was very breezy and nice. After I came home, it was already almost 9 so I tried to put Liam to bed. He wasn't having it. I decided to rock him. Well, he wanted down so I set him on his feet and then he started crying so I picked him back up and laid him on my chest and that's when it happened. He blew chunks! All over me. Like, most of my shirt, my shorts and my leg. I nearly threw up myself. Not quite sure what made his tummy upset but he was completely fine afterwards. Haha.
I took this picture while I was jogging along the river. This is a river boat that I have ridden several times called the Southern Belle. Not a great picture hehe. Oh, and did I mention, I got severely threatened by some geese while I was jogging? Yep, I was passing them, they were very close to the sidewalk and one of them stared me down, with his mouth open and was probably thinking terrible things about me. Ha! Aaaaannnndddd, I must have also forgot to mention that I jogged for freakin ever! Not literally but I jogged a heck of a long time. Pretty darn proud of myself. I will run that marathon one day. :)
