Tantrumz, Antz in your Pantz & Ikea Rockz!!

Yes­ter­day Squidge had a grade A choice cut prime qual­ity tantrum!  In the carpark/parking lot out­side of Toys­Rus.  It was soo much fun– I can’t even begin to describe how much fun it was.  I had gone to Next to see if I could find some cheapy black shoes.  I wanted to take our xmas card photo and she doesn’t own any black shoes.  A waste of a trip.  It was look­ing really gray and decided I would take pho­tos some other day.  Squidge needed to pee so off to Toys-R-Us.  It’s some kind of cos­mic joke that the only places with pub­lic toi­lets are TRU or Bor­ders.  I was on the wrong end for Bor­ders so off to TRU we went.  We spent some time there look­ing around and play­ing.  All the while I was telling her she couldn’t have any­thing.  She was OK with this.  In the end I thought she was being really good so I’d buy her a lit­tle bal­loon.  Noth­ing major just a lit­tle bal­loon.  As we waited to pay she started to act up.  I told her a cou­ple of times to get up off the floor.  She didn’t.  I told her one more time to get up or we would leave with­out the bal­loon.  You know where this is head­ing right.  So I took the bal­loon off her, hauled her up over my shoul­der and out we went.  The entire time she was scream­ing NO MOMMY! PWEASE!!! NO MOMMY! NO MOMMY! MOMMY PWEASE!!!  We spent about 10 min­utes with me try­ing to get her in the car.  She would stiffen up like a 2x4 when­ever I tried putting her in the carseat.  I would press down and she just would.not.bend.  OHMAIGAWD!!!  So I finally get my scream­ing, seething, foam­ing at the mouth mak­ing her­self sick kid in the car.  I explained to her why she didn’t get the bal­loon and that I was very sad.  Then I turned up the radio as loud as it would go to drown out her screams.  Oh yes a fun filled after­noon.   When I pulled up to the house I was glad to see that the police were NOT at my house.  I was cer­tain some con­cerned shop­per was going to called them on me.

This morn­ing we headed out to a indoor soft­play place/thingie/warehouse/hanger.  It was very nice, the place was very clean the set up was good.  We sat down at a table and watched them have a good time.  Squidge is in a really cute stage right now.  She just loves to hug and give me lots of kisses.  It’s cute and exhaust­ing at the same time.  She’s always climb­ing and jump­ing on/over me.  The other night she must have had a night­mare and she called out to me.  She wouldn’t set­tle back down so I took her into bed with me.  I woke up in the morn­ing with her cradling my head and giv­ing me kisses.  AAAAAAWW!!  It made me almost not want to kill her for wak­ing me up at 6:30!!

I want to thank my Aunt Lil­iana for the adorable coat she sent Squidge.  I’ve been try­ing to get a photo of it on but haven’t had a chance the weather has been hor­ri­ble and when I finally think I’ll be able to get out­side Squidge falls asleep!!  Hope­fully I’ll get a photo of it this weekend.

A big huge CONGRATULATIONS  to my friend Byr­ney.  She’s hav­ing a baby– woot!!  I’m vot­ing for 14th of May, my birth­day.  I think it would be funny as Squidge shares her birth­day w/ Richard, Byrney’s husband.
