The World O'Beanie

Lilypie 3rd Birthday Ticker
There's more fun where that came from. At least I think that's what she was trying to tell me today.

No sleep for the Beanie. Nope. Teething again. She came with me to pick up this Universal Car Seat Carrier Thingamajig that is a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ITEM FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO HAVE A KID EVER. Basically, you avoid the high cost of a crazy travel system (this is the icky giant stroller with the car seat click in/out thingymabob that runs about $200 and is NOT WORTH IT. First of all, the stroller units are totally ridiculously heavy. You do not want to be folding and slapping these around in your trunk while trying to avoid the CD player. Second of all, the car seat itself is only used for what, 6 months? You're stuck with the damn thing and can't give it away/sell it if you get the stroller contraption.

The car seat carrier allows you to have options. You have the options of not breaking the bank, the back, or the baby. It's one hand foldable, it's perfect for the car seat I bought (the evenflo turbo action baby bucket with canopy) and it can hold the car seat front facing or back facing. You can literally open it one handed, and fold it up and swing it back into the trunk without a back spasm. It was invented by someone like me, need I say more? Anyway. I bought it off cragislist from someone who bought it off craigslist, which is why it's probably no longer $60 new, because Kolcraft made them practically indestructible and, AND, you only use it for about 4-6 months, so you just resell it practically unused. I know I'm gonna. They are hard to find in Sacramento, I basically had to hunt it down and wait like a shark for someone to post one.

After my excellent Craigslist purchase, I went to Kmart where I bought about $60 worth of teething freezy thingamabobbers and some cute jersey lined denim overalls for Beanie (they will fit her in about a month when it's cold.) And then I headed to IHOP. I never go to IHOP. But I recommend the chicken fajita omelet. It's perfect for diabetic nursing moms. I also got a short stack of pancakes because they had sugar free syrup. Huzzah, I love pancakes. Some people are Freedom Toasters. I'm a Pancaker. Beanie, if I have my way, will be a pancaker. My best friend, mom, and partner are all toasters. How I get along with them all, I have no idea. But my mom is the ickiest with her salt and pepper instead of butter or powdered sugar. Yickola.


So, the Beanie is still teething. 9 AM pediatrician visit tomorrow to bug him about what other narcotics I can use on my poor kid besides grape flavored children's tylenol.
