never ending bread basket of laundry
so today me and boo boo went on a walk to the library and the playground. when we walked by the bus stop i noticed a lady with a stroller talking to somebody. now that i have a baby it's like second nature to just look at other peoples strollers to see their babies. as i turned to see the baby i noticed a balled up fist and it looked like the baby was sleeping. so i kept walking but turned around again because i thought the baby hand looked strangely fake. then i looked at the face again thought 'fake baby? no, it couldn't be...could it?' so i turned around AGAIN because i just really didn't know. the stroller looked hardly used and the woman with the baby was grandma age. i thought it must be one of those fake real babies. which made feel sort of sad and weird so i called corey and left a message saying "i just say a lady with a fake baby and i'm buggin you gotta call me back!!!"
he called me back and i told him about the real fake real baby and then we hung up. then, a few blocks later i saw the bus go by and i saw the lady holding the "sleeping baby" over her shoulder. WEIRD. and just as i was starting to feel more sadness and weirdness for this lady who must want a baby so bad that she gets a pretend baby and then strollers it all around town the "fake baby" OPENED ITS EYES and MOVED IT'S HEAD. it's aliveeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!
speaking of real babies : my sister in law had a baby on friday. this is my first nephew and he is super special! he weighed 10 lbs 3 oz which i can't stop thinking about.
our baby, who is really a too-dler now, is getting bigger and stronger and louder. he squawks a lot and makes big messes everywhere around the apartment. it is very hard to clean, especially when i don't want to clean in the first place. our vacuum is still broken which is even more dumb.
p.s. i got a metric butt-load of strawrburries this weekend and i want to make hand pies. HAND PIES YUMM.
