While most days are filled with tickle fights and smiles some days can be hard. When Jace is fussy, or tired, or just doesn’t feel good our days can be kind of rough. Patrick works two jobs so of most days it’s just me and Jace.
Today I decided to get the grocery shopping out of the way before Patrick got home. BIG MISTAKE! Most of the time we go together but then it is so late by the time we get home and then we don’t have time to do anything else.
So I get the diaper bag packed and Jace dressed and get everything in the car. Putting Jace in his car seat is always horrible. He hates being in his seat and just crying when he gets in it has turned into screaming, standing up, and now doing some kind of weird back bend when I’m trying to put him in.
So we finally get to the store and he is great in the basket for like 10 minutes…. Then he starts fussing and turning around in the seat. I have no clue how he manages to do this while being strapped into the seat. I tighten the seat belt and he still manages to turn completely around. Eventually I gave up and just carried him while pushing the basket. Luckily I had already put the cat litter and giant bag of dog food in the basket.
So i finally get everything after pushing the basket with one hand and holding Jace with the other. My arm feels like it’s going to fall off at this point. Why do babies have to be so heavy??? Anyway I checkout and forget to give the cashier a coupon I had because Jace tries to attack the card reader the entire time we are standing there. He LOVES anything with a screen.
I get everything put in the car then I have to put Jace in his car seat again… Ugh! I don’t know why he hates it so much. Like five minutes later he’s finally in his seat playing with a toy.
Everyone says it will be easier when we forward face his seat. I really hope it gets better before then since we are not planning on turning him around anytime soon. We feel he is much safer rear facing and are planning on keeping him that way for as long as we possibly can.
Anyway hopefully tomorrow is better. Patrick works both of his jobs tomorrow. So he will be leaving the house around 6 am and won’t be getting home till around 10 pm that night.
Maybe Jace and I will go to the zoo…
