So I made my great escape today. As soon as I got up this morning, I jumped in the shower, and soon after, hopped out the door. I went first to my parents house, and then to my sister's. All...by...myself. That's right, I got some freedom. In some ways it felt like I had to twist my husband's arm for it, but he got some time to himself yesterday, so it was only fair.
My parents house was kind of a last minute stop-over. I gave them an hour's notice, but with the time change, they were up before I was even on my way. Once there, they offered me food. Lots of it. My mother offered me ice cream at 9:30 in the morning- well, with the time change last night, it seemed later, but it was still a bit early for ice cream. They offered me eggs, bread, cheese, chocolate, crackers, pretzels, etc. I had a couple pretzels and two mini Twix. Not bad based on the options. Then to my sister's house where she also offered me a plethora of non-Babe safe food, including lots of cheese, ice cream, and some of her kid's Halloween candy. I had lunch there, which definitely included bread and cheese. I could have been really bad, but again, tried to have a little self-control. Its funny but while my family will generally offer food during a visit, they really were pushing it today knowing I had a limited window to get in all the goodies.
But for the Babe's allergies, oh the snacking we could do. Its scary to think how bad I could be if we could have all those goodies on a regular basis. Its bad enough we have potato chips in our house. Well, I had my freedom, enjoyed my family without a little one to hover over, and came home to a happy child who got some quality time with her Daddy. First thing I did after I got home was to jump back in the shower, and now I get to enjoy the remainder of the day with her (while Daddy takes a nap).
