I'm
Why is it when you are walking some where with a baby, everyone stops and wants to talk to you? I understand babies are cute, tiny creatures but how many of these people are going to stop me in the mall when I am by myself? Let me be the first to tell you I do NOT walk around with a very friendly look upon my face unless I am drunk. I do not encourage strangers to utter the word hello much less engage in a full blown conversation about trivial shit that means nothing to me. I went to a mall by our house this morning at 10:00- right when the stores open to avoid coming in contact with too many germs for baby Tyler. I tried to get the stroller to collapse to take to the mall and either never knew how or forgot how since Nick was a baby but somehow I decided I would carry this nearly ten pound baby around the mall in his car seat. Bad idea all the way across the board. So I am hauling ass through the mall trying to steer clear from anyone coughing, sneezing, or even looking slightly tired. Items in my left hand: One large black purse filled with crap. Items in my right hand: One large infant car seat with a nearly ten pound turkey stuffed in it along with roughly eight blankets as I am always afraid he's going to get cold. So I am trucking through the mall with both of my arms shaking from carrying so much weigt. They must keep the thermostat at the mall set on 97 degrees as I was sweating so bad I had drops going into my eyes. Then comes the friendly well wishers who want me to stop in my tracks to tell them hello, the babies name, weight, height, date of birth, siblings names, etc. I even had one woman ask me if I had just left the hospital after giving birth to come to the mall as he looks so much like a fresh newborn. I simply said yes and took off for the exit. Tyler slept through it all and I am glad to be done with that shopping. What the hell is wrong with these people?
