Such a Proud Mom

We went out to run our errands tonight. I do not feel like cooking lately...I attribute this to the lack of appetite and not even wanting to think about food but I have been craving Pizza Hut pizza from the beginning of this pregnancy and never have fulfilled it. So we decided to go. All I have to say is you know the economy has been bad when in the past 2 years 3 pizza huts have shut down in surrounding towns that we frequent. We finally had to end up at Michigan State campus for a campus atmosphere and pizza hut pizza. It was good but much different than the normal resturant style it seems. They did not have a salad bar so I was super bummed. Being there made me realize how old I am getting. I was so proud of Eli though. He was so good as he usually is but he also used the potty!! He is scared to death of the dryers in the bathrooms but used the potty 4 times while we were out and had no accidents!! I was so thrilled.

We also went to Motherhood...here comes a rant so beware. I am so sick of commercialism at times. First, let me say they do not make maternity clothes for short people I have decided. Everytime I go in there they never have anything in my size. It does not matter if I am small to extra large. The color I want is never there. Oh and the real kicker is everything is WAY over priced!!! Seriously $30 for one shirt I am only going to wear for maybe 3 months is ridiculous and their clothes can wear out quick. Normally I would never buy anything this late in the game but I really did need a shirt for my pictures on monday and I also needed to get some new pants as I tore my one pair this week. I did look at goodwill but was not able to find anything. Then we check out and they want all sorts of information. Really?? Who cares when my due date is...are you going to send me free diapers or something not that I would use them. Also they want you to buy all this unnecessary stuff like pregnant fitness bars. Just go eat some fruit and veggies and take your prenatals!! OK my rant is over but it made me realize why this is only the second time I have been in there this pregnancy. Thanks to having clothes and my wonderful friend Meghan Murari because she loaned me a ton. If I had more time and inclination I would start a maternity clothes store just to compete. Sadly this is another idea and would be a project I would be in way over my head!!

Then we went to get groceries. Eli was so good again and he went potty twice there and told us. It was nice to have all errands done and tomorrow we will just go to church and relax as much as possible as Anthony will be working on the remodel. I have to say today was a very successful day with the potty and I am thrilled we were able to be out for such a long time and Eli did not have one accident. He is going to be such a good big brother!
