I tried, I changed, but still am getting divorced!

Wow, BobbiJ, what a clever recipe idea! I will be borrowing that one...

Today was fun and we had a spur of the moment change of plans! S and I met my sister for lunch...we were driving back when she said "so what now?"

Originally, I had to get S home by 5ish so stbxh could pick him up, but he texted me to say that he was going to be late due to his change of flight.

So I had more time on my hands. I brainstormed a little then realized that we hadn't been on the jetboat yet and it was something I wanted to do this summer. So my sister was up for it and since she had a touch phone, she called them up, we got reservations and were on our way!

Since I had a membership to the science museum which was next to the dock for the jetboat, we were able to go in there for free before boarding. Now, I had dressed S in jeans because it was chilly earlier in the afternoon. I also didnt' have diapers but did have some swim diapers.

So the boat did say babies could board. I rolled up S' jeans, sprayed sunblock on him and we waited in line. People sure were shocked to see me bring a baby on board! But I had been on the jetboat 2x before, so I knew what to expect. I didn't have a hat for him and he pulls them off anyway, but I sprayed sunscreen on his scalp. Luckily, a nice Russian woman (seriously!) was on board and offered me a scarf to cover his head! He let me put it on.

He started to fuss while we were waiting but as soon as we got going(he had a life jacket on and I was holding him in my lap) he settled down.

There were some violent spins of course and I held on to him tight, thinking "dang it; if stbxh were with me he would be holding S" but it was fine. At the end, the people around said "wow, he is brave! He did great! good for you for bringing him!"

Then we headed back to drop off my sister, stopped for dinner at a DQ, and stbxh met us in the driveway. UNFORTUNATELY, the swim diapers SUCK and he peed through 3 of them, including his pair of rolled of jeans! Seriously! It made me feel grossed out by all the swim classes I participated in with S and the other babies...peeing through the diapers!

Wow, I am tired for some reason!
