BM
ok. it really shouldn't have taken me a WHOLE week to post. sorry to keep you in the dark. We made it to the mall. and we shopped for 4 hours. and baby beckham SLEPT. the entire time. then my boobs started to hurt, so I woke him up and took him into the Macy's bathroom. This is the Pentagon City Mall. I realize soon, I should have gone to the Nordstrom's Womens room. They have a womens LOUNGE. but I didn't know that expensive department stores have sweet bathrooms. Or I didnt think about it. So I go in the MACY's bathroom, and i gotta pee real bad. And the Handicap bathroom is OUT OF ORDER. I certainly can't leave my baby in a stroller OUTSIDE of my stall, this is how baby snatchers get their foot in the snatching business. and now im forced to make a decision. leave and run across the mall. OUT OF THE QUESTION. weak bladder. so I say oh hell and go in the stall furthest from the doorl and prop open the stall door. and pee. YES folks. I peed with the door open in a public bathroom, with a stroller within reach and a mirror to watch all my work. it was wacky but that's what I have to do when everyone is trying to steal my baby. so I finished my work and proceeded to wash my hands(sang happy birthday to me twice) then wheeled baby to chair area. 3 arm chairs, but no changing table. arg. so i sat down and breastfeed baby! my second PBF moment! while i was doing this a woman with what i can only imagine to be a serious colon disorder arrives in said bathroom and takes the stall NEAREST to the door. She proceeds to GRUNT and GROAN her duty out. Her daughter came in TWICE to check on her. she sent her away with these words. "You know how I am, we gotta wait out the cycle." ok, so this is NOT the first time this woman has had this problem in a public arena. WHY didn't she take the stall as far away from the door as possible? I will never know. I was a prisoner to the milk monster and had to sit through her entire "cycle". I watched unsuspecting women come in and i wanted to warn them not to take the stall next to her. but women in restrooms dont talk. well the crazy ones do. (and the ones who pee with the door wide open) ah well. the things that happen in women's bathrooms are better not blogged. me and baby are leaving for western massachusetts tomorrow am and like a true megamom procrastinator i am JUSt starting to pack. oops. hours without traffic to EL:7, outfits packed for baby's 2 week vaca: 25.
