Girl's Day Out and The Potty Problem!

I had the pleasure of spending the day with my little girl today.  The boys got to hang out with Grandma and Grandpa while we were away.

 First we went with Daddy to the doctor to make sure he told the whole truth and then Daddy took his two favorite girls out to lunch at Bahama Breeze.  I have been craving their onion rings for a very long time.

We stopped into Barnes and Noble for a few minutes before lunch because it wasn't 11am yet and Missy got a Rapunzel book and Daddy found some great hardbound versions of some classic stories to add to our homeschool library.  We got Tom Sawyer, Dr. Doolittle, Little Men, Huckleberry Finn, Robin Hood, King Arthur and His Knights and a few more.  They are really nice and what was even better is they were buy two get one free!!!  I always love a good bargain!

Lunch was yummy and the onion rings were delicious!  My tummy was very happy at the end of our meal.  We then kissed Daddy goodbye as he headed off to work and drove to ORMC to get my student badge so I can start clinicals on Saturday only to find out that mommy can't read very well and they only give out student badges on Tues, Thur and Friday.  So Missy and I drove to Sand Lake Hospital to get my badge and decal so I would be assured of being able to start clinicals this Saturday.

On the way back towards home my sweet little girl fell asleep.  She must have been very tired too because she slept all the way through the $6 car wash, which was really $15 for the extra super duper cleaning and more amazing still she slept through the 20 minutes that it took me to vacuum out my filthy van including vacuuming her carseat!

We then ventured toward the pet store to get Noni's UTI remedy, but had to take a pitstop for gas at 7-Eleven.  Missy woke up half way to the gas station and was just a bit cranky.  While I was pumping gas she announced she needed to potty! I finished pumping gas as fast as I could and pulled into the parking spot so I could take her inside, however she wasn't able to hold it and was sitting in urine soaked clothes when I went to get her out!  Thankfully I had the pee pad in the bottom of her carseat so we spared her seat of pee pee, but her clothes were soaked. 

Of course I didn't bring any spare clothes with me because that would have made my life too easy so I had to come up with a quick bandaid by taking off her clothes and wrapping her in a hand towel that I had in the car.  I then strapped her back in her carseat and headed for Target!

I then wrapped her in the baby sling that I keep in the car and carried her into the store.  We found her a  Rapunzel shirt and jean shorts and completed the ensemble with Rapunzel underwear.  Are you sensing a theme here???  I then grabbed a package of wipes and headed for the dressing rooms.

We ducked into one of the dressing rooms and I took the tags off of the clothes and cleaned her up with a wipe.  I then opened the package of underwear and put on a pair and then got her dressed.  All the while I am so nervous that I am being watched by cameras and they are going to nab me for shoplifting before I can get to the front of the store to pay for everything.

Thankfully we made it to the front of the store and paid for our goods with no handcuffs involved!  I explained to the cashier that I only had the tags from the clothes because she was wearing them due to a potty problem!  He expressed his understanding and made our purchases official.

We then went back to shopping because mommy needed a new mop and some school supplies!

Finally, we left Target and made it to the pet store to get Noni's goodies.  Hopefully this will cure Noni of what ails her!

We drove thru Taco Bell on the way home for Tacos and Pizza for me, Grandma and the kidlets.  Got to love it when I don't have to cook!!!

After dinner we sat down and started reading Tom Sawyer.  It is a really cute story.  The kids enjoyed listening and then we of course had to read Missy's Rapunzel book to make the evening complete.

The kiddies then piled in the car with Grandma and headed to her house for a sleepover.

It was a great day with my sweet baby girl.  I really enjoyed our mommy-daughter day!!

Now it is time to hit the books and get educated!!!
