Comic Strip Day

Tip: do not try to register your vehicle, get the oil changed, do safety / emissions test, buy hubbies golf pass, AND do a choir rehearsal all on the same day. DUMB!

6:30am = Jess woke up wanting her bottle. She was very cute and playing with her blanket in her crib. I think she was playing peek-a-boo with the crib bars? It was pretty funny.

7:40am = Jess is done with her bottle and begins sitting on daddy's face (she was in our bed with us). Nothing says "Good Morning!" like a diaper in the face...

7:42am = After daddy rolls over Jess begins poking his hair. Maybe that will wake him up?

7:45am = Daddy rolls back over and Jess, smiling because her work is done, sits in mommy's face.

7:48am = Jessica realizes that Daddy was faking his awakeness so she begins poking his nose and eyes.

7:50am = Daddy is awake.

9:45am = Mommy & Daddy are showered, fed, and ready for the day. Jessica is fed and ready for the day. We head out.

10:00am = Mommy drops Daddy off at the MTC and heads over to Brent Brown Auto to get the oil changed.

10:10am = Jess and Mommy are sitting in the waiting room.

10:30am = Still sitting.

10:32am = Jess has crawled into some guys office while he is trying to close a car deal. She obviously has some feelings on the matter because she begins expressing those feelings very loudly to the customers.

10:33am = Mommy picks up Jessica and carries her out of the office.

10:35am = Jessica is back in sales office hoping to reiterate her previous opinions.

10:36am = Mommy again carries Jess out.

10:40am = Jessica has crawled from service area, around the corner, up the stairs and is heading over to what she is hoping will be her first car. Yeah right!

10:41am = Mommy is carrying Jess back to service area.

10:45am = Service manager comes out to say that we will have to wait another 45 minutes for the right filter to arrive. Oh, and the safety test cannot be done because their computer is broken. Great.

11:01am = Jessica is throwing the service area magazines for customers to enjoy all over the service floor.

11:02am = Mommy is picking up service area magazines.

11:03am = Where did Jessica go?!?

11:04am = Mommy is carrying Jessica out of sales office from previous encounters where the guy is, again, trying to sell a car. I think Jess has found her vocational career...
11:05am = Mommy is feeding Jess snacks
11:22am = Jessica, again, trying to read the magazines by tossing them around the room. Maybe she was sharing? Not quite sure.
11:58am = Service manager comes in to say we are finished. Yea!!!
12:11pm = At Ray's Auto Place we went to drop off the car for the safety test.
12:14pm = Retrieved stroller in back of car
12:15pm = Jessica's blanket falls and gets tangled up in the stroller wheels
12:17pm = Jessica's blanket is still tangled - keys go flying
12:18pm = Car almost runs over keys
12:19pm = Blanket untangled
12:25pm = Entering Wendy's for food - line is long, baby is hungry!
12:34pm = Food ordered and paid for
12:40pm = Food received
12:42pm = Great burning question: how to navigate crowded Wendy's while holding a tray full of food and pushing a stubborn stroller?
12:44pm = Jessica is shoving pieces of chicken nuggets in her mouth so that I won't eat them first
1:03pm = Returning to pick up car (interesting how their emission's stuff is down but not their safety...)
1:15pm = Arrive at DMV - Jessica has fallen asleep
1:20pm = Done at DMV!!! AMAZING!
1:30pm = Arrive at MTC to pick up Jer. Wake up Jess from nap.
2:00pm = Arrive at East Bay Golf course to buy his golf pass - Jer waits in car with Jess
2:04pm = Waiting for cute old men in front of me to set up their tee time
2:06pm = Tell guys at desk that I am buying a golf pass for my husband
2:07pm = Cute old guy tells me, "I wish you were my wife!"
2:21pm = Arrive at home
2:35pm = Pick up Jess and realize that she has poohed / peed through her clothes...
2:36pm = Start Jess's impromptu bath
2:55pm = Finish Jess's impromptu bath
3:07pm = Everything is packed (or re-packed) and we are off!
3:20pm = Arrive to drop Jer off at golf course
The rest of the day was spent in South Jordan at a music rehearsal. Jess slept the whole way up. Because we dropped Jer off at the golf course when we did, I ended up being in S. Jordan 45 minutes earlier than planned. Which actually was good because Jess was taking her afternoon nap in the car. The driving tour I took of South Jordan led me to find several craft stores that I would frequently, ...um frequent. Anyways. Jess was great during practice and we came home where she went to bed. Sweet sweet girl who was such a trooper!

What a hard day! I HATE doing car things and having to take my little girl with me. But I always end up being the one to do it.
