IS IT FRIDAY YET??????

I am officially declaring this day, THE DAY FROM HELL. O.k., that's not really fair. I guess it would be more accurate to say, THE MORNING, from 10:00-12:00, FROM HELL. Monkey and I decided to take a trip to Portland to visist daddyG at work and go for a stroll around Back Bay with a couple of my friends and their little ones. It sounds like a nice morning out, but trust me it was nothing of the sort. The visit to daddyG's office went well. We got to meet the new co-workers and check out his space. It was nice. Great location. It made me miss working in Portland.
Anywhoo...the real fun begins when Monkey and I arrive at the Bay. From the minute I take the stroller out of the car, he FREAKS. Now I'm not talking just a couple squaks here and there. I mean all out SCREAMING!! He was pissed. Apparently he wasn't in the mood for a stroll around the bay. I'm not quite sure what he wanted, but I'm positive that everyone in a 5 mile radius from us knew he didn't want to be in the stroller. He was absolutley losing his mind. He didn't want a snack, didn't want a drink, threw his pacifier on the dirt trail about 5 times. It was a horror show. Meanwhile my two friends kiddos are sitting in their strollers, quiet as can be, just watching my wild child put on a show. So, i decide it's time to leave and wrestle my beast in to his car seat. Most of you would assume that he fell right to sleep on the drive. NOPE!!! He screamed the whole ride. Blood-curdling, snot flying, dry heaving, screaming. It SUCKED!!!

All is well now. We are home. Monkey is fed and sleeping. phew. I wasn't sure I was going to survive this morning. But once again, mamagoods has pulled through. All I can do is hope for a better afternoon. And start chilling my bottle of Pinot Grigio for tonight.

P.S. I finished The Da Vinci Code. Great read. I kinda guessed a few of the twists, but was still impressed with the ending.
