Guilt Trip

Today was one of those days that was filled by everything and nothing in the same moment. As I type this Maggie is riding in the Bjorn trying to sleep and Sydney is outside lounging.

I found myself at the grocery store at 7 AM, I left Maggie in Barry’s arms as he watered the lawn and packed his lunch – multi-tasker that Man of Mine!

After I came home Maggie and I headed out to drop off a donation at Value Village, pick up some supplies at Michael’s and go to Costco. All places that Sydney would not love and she really can’t wait in the car with this heat.

Sydney gets so excited when we get home and she typically sniffs and wags around Maggie’s car seat and sniffs me to try and figure out where I went (without her – the nerve!).

Today instead of the typical sniffing and wagging, she just sat and stared at me looking super upset. We had a staring contest for a while and then I offered her some cheese – I think we’re on good terms now.

I was worried there for a moment.

I think she has forgiven Maggie as well.

Chiquita

When I was little my brother and I would claim the Chiquita sticker off the bananas  and we’d use them as currency between us.  Now when I see the sticker I have to fight the urge not to peel it of and celebrate.

I also get reminded of this childhood tradition when I look at this little figure.

It screams Chiquita Banana, right?

However, when I see this little ‘figure’ I do not take a trip down memory lane.

Instead I wonder how we could get Syd into a banana costume for Halloween this coming year.
