Psychotomy

Last year was Kiir’s First Mother’s Day. (Did you know they make special mother’s day’s cards for that? I didn’t, so I didn’t get her one last year for it :/) But DK was only about a month old at the time, so while I got her flowers (and my mom, and her mom, and my grandmother, and BOTH of her grandmothers (holy hell wtf was I thinking??? even cheap sets add up!!!)), really, it barely counted.

So this year is her first “real” mother’s day (and when he’s like 5 and wants to make her breakfast in bed, that will be her first REAL mother’s day, I s’pose) (and wouldn’t you know, I didn’t think to get her the card again this year … oops ;wonder if they’ll still have them at Target tomorrow :o). So for Mother’s Day, I got her something special. Peace and Quiet.

DK and I left ~11 to go get the oil changed in her car (it’s only been 7500 miles or something, and like 7 months maybe?), and the itinerant bits there (35$ oil change ended up out 200$ ; some of it was stuff they’d wanted to do last time, too ; they did however skip the tire rotation after telling me I needed new tires instead (we skipped that followup errand :o)). Then lunch at Fuddruckers (mozerella sticks & fish&chips, although the fish was LOUSY ; mostly I wanted the milkshake for the next part of our journey)

Drove out to South Mountain and picked up milk for me & dk (our weekly home delivery hasn’t been fully setup yet, so I’m guessing this week that’ll process and we’ll get next week, but he needs milk in the meantimes). We were gonna stop at my Grandmother’s on the way back, but missed the exit or something, so we just came back and went shopping at Costco, then hit the liquor store (that was for me, though, not kiir ;) )

Target for various essentials (like the new Word World video for DK and bubble bath), and decided to stop at EBGameStop. Picked up Boom Blox for Kiir (I promise not to play it for at least 1 month, so she can get some enjoyment out of it before I play it every night with babe and she gets tired of it (I ruined Blue Dragon for her, and she won’t touch Lost Odyssey now either after me playing every night with DK)), a PC game called “The Guild 2″ which DK picked out, and a spare WiiWheel. (Whiil?) That’s so we can play together, as an excuse. Realyl it’s so DK can steer one and I might actually be allowed to control my Karts :o

All-in-all, we were out of the house for a little over 6 hours, so she got that all nice and quiet and peaceful and unassaulted :o Now we’re home, though, b/c it’s dinner time and things are closed now :o
