Laura, I bet your excited about Simon's bday!! So he is getting one of his top front teeth? Sophie's 2nd tooth broke out yesterday during our trip.
, made her extremely cranky.
The whole entire weekend as a complete disaster. On Sunday we went to the Golden Gate park, huge huge park. And while we were there we found someone's purse. we waited and waited to see if the woman would come back to get her purse and she never did. we checked inside her purse to see if there was a number or any way we could reach her. That is when we found out that her whole life was in that purse. Her cell phone, money, credit cards, passport, immigration papers!! So, we tried over and over looking for her number on the internet, since her drivers license had her address. There was no number listed. She also didn't appear to have a facebook page either. So then we went all over this freakin city to try to send it to a lost and found. we asked at the fire station and they are not aloud to keep lost purses so they sent us to the police station, but they gave us the wrong address, we were dumb enough not to use the gps at that point. what was scary was the fact that the police stations in San Francisco are in some bad areas. The gps wasn't working correctly. It sent me down a one way street the wrong direction, it was night time and I realized it was a one way street when I almost got into a head on collision. I hate driving in SF, it can be very confusing and people drive very very crazy! Oh, and earlier in the day as I was making a turn and a bus almost hit me at full speed because the idiot had his directional to turn and he went straight instead!! How irresponsible!! I was so so ready to have a nervous breakdown. Finally after 3.5 hours since the time I found the damn purse we found a police station, a bunch of scary and suspicious people were in that neighborhood. My dh walked my mom into the station while I stayed in the car to watch the kids. we took separate cars because I decided to invite my mom to come with us on Sunday. Dh didn't want to return the purse and just leave it at the park, but I put a guilt trip on him and told him what if it was him who lost all of his belongings. Let's face it, most people who would have found that purse would have taken it, this lady had a very expensive cell phone, lots of money, social security card, credit cards, passport!! And I also thought what if she was kidnapped or something, you never know. we finally made it out of the city alive and well, thank God.
Yesterday I decided to invite my mom yet again to come with us to a little coastal town up north.. a huge mistake because that meant I had to drive again. I feel the need to invite my mom sometimes when we go on trips because my brothers never take her out or do anything with her. I was stuck driving through this long long windy road in the mountains on highway 1, same highway that takes you to all the nice beaches in LA but only we live in Northern California. This was just bad judgement on my part. I have motion sickness and anxiety issues along with having severe pms over the weekend. I felt like throwing up through this mountain, but it had beautiful ocean views. I was driving right next to a cliff so kind of scary. I did all of this because we promised to take Natalie to the beach over the weekend and on Sunday when we got to the beach in SF it was way too cold, so we went to Golden Gate park instead. Then we reassured her that we would take her to the beach the next day. But I was dumb enough to decide to take a 2 hour drive just to go to a scenic town. I did all of this because Natalie's mental state has been so so terrible that I didn't want to say no to her, or tell her that we would have to go the next weekend. And guess what? we couldn't stay the night in this city because we only packed enough formula for Sophie for only that day and the next pharmacy or store was 1 hour away through the mountains.. so no way. we just left earlier, so I could make it through the mountains before the sun set and went to some restaurant that was suppose to be 4 stars but the food was not even great at all. lol. It didn't help that I am a hormonal mess and my monthly cycle has been all over the place since my last 2 consecutive pregnancies. So Sophie's tooth broke through during the trip yesterday which made her very very annoyed. Sorry for the rant ladies. I finally had a chance to come on here since Sophie is napping, which she rarely ever does anymore!!
