so i swear i'm not a terribly mama. these things could happen to anyone ... right?



ben and i went to petsmart. he was hungry, so i started nursing
him in the car before we went in.
i heard him go squishy, and decided to take him into the story to
change him.
we got into the bathroom, and i took him out of his outfit, only
to find squishy all the way up his back! his NECK had squishy on it!
i took the outfit off, (he's howling by now, cause he's on a hard
plastic changing table and is cold, not to mention hates being naked
anyway) and go to get the spare outfit out of the diaper bag.
much like a spare tire, where is it when you need it?
ON the car/baby.

i didn't even bring a blanket in with me since it was an impromtu trip
(i was planning on changing him real quick then taking him back to the
car to finish eating, THEN gathering everything i needed for shopping.
it was raining and my baby was naked.
i didn't even have a coat myself (to wrap him in) i was wearing a
sweatshirt with nothing under it (well, a bra, but that doesn't workeither)


so i get out my phone and call information

city and state please?
twin falls idaho
listing?
petsmart

i hear the phone ring two feet from my head.

"this is the weirdest phone call you guys are ever going to get, but could you send a female employee to the ladies room?"

:knocking sound:

"uh, hi (i peer out from the restroom where i have placed the naked crying baby inside my sweatshirt against my skin) do you guys sell blankets?
he went all over his outfit and i guess the babysitter must have used the spare ..."

employee returns with two choices of blankets.

i pick a green froggy one, wrap him in it, pay $10, leave with my tail between my legs.

never mind the catfood. i dont' think i'll be going back.



the end.
