A hard day

This morning I got up with the mentality that I was going to stay home and not go anywhere. I've been needing to run to the commissary for a couple of days to grab a few things. But have been putting it off. With the tooth pulling and stuff I have just been laying low. My friend called me and said she was going so I decided I would go and get it over with. They were having a big tent sale so we walked over to check it out. I ended up buying a palm tree that lights up. Going to display it at Christmas even though technically some people display theres all year long. Blake got to jump on the bounce house for a few mins but was very angry at me for making him leave. I should have known better then to let him jump BEFORE I went into the grocery store. I should have known it wasn't going to be fun for me. Oh well.. Anyway we went in and Blake wanted to walk. I am trying to give him more freedom. I know he needs to find his way and I know he also needs to learn what his limitations are. So we have a monkey leash. Its a backpack thats a monkey and his tail is the leash. So he asked to wear his monkey and I thought I would give it a whirl. We haven't done it in the commissary yet. So I wanted to see how he would act. He did very well at the beginning. And even though there were a couple of points I had to get onto him because he was trying to get away for the most part he did well. At least until we got into the checkout. He was pretty much a holy terror. Screaming, yelling etc etc. At one point was laying on the ground. People were staring at me and I was pretty mortified. I mean he is almost 3 and I have to remember that but sometimes you just wish they were born knowing how to act. It didn't help that we happened to get behind like the slowest people in the history of checking out. I mean really? If you are that slow you really should let the cashiers do it. Don't do it yourself. I mean you might break something. After what seemed like an eternity of standing in the checkout we finally checked our stuff out and was headed to the car. I got to my car only to realize I had no car keys. Of course I begin to panic. What did I do with them? Oh no I didn't lose them did I? Oh man Eric is gone and if I've lost my keys I'm in so much trouble! What am I going to do? My friend Shannon was with me and kept Blake so I could go search for them. I went all over looking for them. Revisited the tent sale and walked the whole commissary again. I went back to the car and was like I can't find my keys! Shannon is like did you lock them in your car? So at this point I am praying dear God please let me find my keys. I call onstar because we don't see them inside the car. Onstar unlocks the car for me and I begin to search. Lo and behold they are almost right behind/under Blake's carseat. I guess I had sat them there when I was getting him out and didn't realize it. I get my keys and I 'm so thankful I found them. Now I just want to go home and remain safely where I can't lose any more car keys or I don't have to deal with screaming crazy children. Today has been a hard day. Blake fell asleep late so it looks like a late night for me. I generally don't let him nap this late but after my day I just need a min. I am fixing to go wake him up and start dinner. I just want to say I am so thankful for Onstar. Without them locksmiths would be making bank over me. (this is my 2nd time locking my keys in the car in a few months) So for tonight going to make my chicken and salad and going to relax. Maybe put in a kids movie with my crazy child and try to salvage our day together.
