A Viable Option

****

I have accomplished NOTHING today...and I'm okay with
that. I mean, it's Mother's Day. I shouldn't have to work!
I shouldn't have to subject myself to menial labor! Why am
I justifying my laziness? I can be lazy if I want to.
Yeah, I was lazy today. I'm 9 months pregnant. I can do
that.

I got a couple phone calls from Snookums and one from
Helena, wishing me a Happy Mother's Day. That was the
highlight of my day. Helena fielded 101 questions at me
about the baby, when he's coming (if I knew that, I'd be
psychic, and therefore rich) how the ultrasound went last
week and if I knew if Jason is coming home. If I had any
answers to give her, I would. So, why does she continue to
ask?

The rest of the day I sat here at the computer and looked
at about 5 million diaper bags. I don't know why I'm being
so particular this time around, but I am. With Kiki I just
bought the matching bag that went with her travel system
(stroller/car seat combo), but this time around there
isn't a matching bag, because I didn't buy a travel
system. I bought a sit n' stand deluxe tandem stroller
(way cool, very nice design. One that will change with us
as the children grow) and the matching infant seat, which
is sold separately. It's part of the Baby Trend Silverado
collection which is a red, black and silver palette. I'm
leery of buying a red diaper bag because I'm scared it
might clash with the stroller (petty, I know) and all of
the basic black bags I love are either $200 or sold out.
I'm not the only one that wants a black diaper bag,
apparently. I found a black Eddie Bauer one I like at
Target.com, but when I went to order it, the estimated
ship date was June 9-23. Why, I don't know. It said it was
in-stock. So, I'll see if I can find one around here. At
the mall or something. I haven't looked at diaper bags
around here (other than at Target last night). Maybe
tomorrow I'll look around.

The girls have their yearly check-up tomorrow. Kiki might
need some immunizations, but mainly it's going to be about
Annie. I need to have her ADHD re-evaluated. It's been a
year since she was formally diagnosed and I'm sure
behavioral therapy isn't working out for her, because
we've been trying like hell to make it work. It isn't. The
way I see it, she's been demonstrating symptoms since the
age of 4. I've got five years without medicating her. It
may just be time to consider that a viable option. I saw
in Parenting magazine that there's a couple different
options available now. I should at least look into it.

I really have to pee. Ciao!
