Before you read this post, you have to promise me one thing: you will not call CPS on me. Because even if you do, I doubt there's a branch in the small Montana town I'm in right now, and I have an RV so I can get away before they find me. So don't waste your time.
Overall, I think I'm a pretty good mom. This trip, however, has pushed my patience level to the limit so I have let a few things slide that I normally wouldn't. And I have been a bit distracted at times as well so we have had a few "oops" moments I'm not very proud of. But for the sake of keeping my loyal blog readers entertained, I am going to share them with you now.
Fail #1: Letting my kid eat Cap'n Crunch Crunch Berry cereal for breakfast every morning. It's fortified with vitamins though, right? That's gotta count for something.
Fail #2: You know how I posted about how noisy riding in an RV is? It's noisy because stuff is constantly rattling around in the cupboards. And sometimes if you go over a really big bump in the road those cupboards fly open and crap falls out. Like the other day when bottles of V8 and brandy fell out of the cupboard right behind Olivia's head...yeah. Probably should have put a bungee cord on that.
Fail #3: This RV now smells like an armpit, so last night I lit a candle to try to get it to smell more like pink magnolia, turned around to so something else, and when I looked back Olivia was putting the lid back on the candle. No harm, no foul, right?
Fail #4: We were "snuggling" one morning (aka, I let her watch PBS Kids on my phone while I tried to go back to sleep), and all of a sudden I am being handed an insulin syringe from my purse: "Here you go Mommy! Here's your medicine!"
Also - you might find these Olivia quotes amusing:
"Knock it off, guys! Ick!" Apparently she does not like my singing. She's not alone on this one.
"I'm kinda stuck!" This has been said over and over and OVER while we are driving. I know you're stuck, kiddo. That's the whole point of a car seat.
"Stop talking! Change my diaper NOW!" I think she needs to be potty trained ASAP.
"My bottom hurts. Touch it, Mommy!" She wanted me to massage her tush while we were driving. Thanks, Dad, for starting that trend.
Ok, that's enough teasing my kid. She is in my good graces today because she slept in until 7:30 this morning!! We made it to Pat's brother's last night and had a good time eating tacos, listening to some live music, and setting off some fireworks. The ride to Lewistown was fairly uneventful, although we did see a real, live Indian teepee and got flicked off by two hitchhikers that we didn't stop to pick up.
Time for breakfast!
Editor's Note: Pat informed that in yesterday's post I erroneously said that Billy the Kid was from Sundance, WY. He laughed hysterically when I read him the post and said "No, it's the Sundance Kid!" Like I would know the difference. They were both outlaws and are both dead now, so whatever. Same thing.
