Still not quite up and running!
It was, by all accounts, an ambitious plan for this morning- traveling into the city with five children to attend a free concert by the city's orchestra which was scheduled to begin by 9:30 AM.....I did the math over and over in my head in regards to when I needed to leave the house, and concluded that leaving by 8 AM should do it. I needed to travel and drop off our two year old at one home, and pick up a friend and her three children at another location before heading to the city.....All went well, except for one wrong turn which added another 15 minutes to my drive into the city. I'm not sure what effect that one mis-hap had, but in any event, my 4 year old daughter made it to the orchestra on time! For myself however, I ended up nursing the baby in a parking garage during the entire concert!
I had dropped off the other mom with all the kids to find parking, and ended up on the 10th floor, the best location I could find. By the time all that was accomplished, I could barely justify carrying my not quite 3 month old through the crazy corridors of the garage and the chilly streets outdoors to the concert hall to arrive half-way through. So I sat and nursed. When I tried to leave the parking garage, I didn't have my parking ticket paid for, as I had never actually left the garage in person and noticed this detail of procedure in the lobby. So I parked the van illegally, prayed I wouldn't be towed, and carried the baby down to the lobby to pay for the service of sitting in their garage. Finally I could leave, and was on my way to pick up the crew of kids!
I had really been looking forward to seeing this concert. Through my pregnancy I couldn't attend anything like this, since it was too uncomfortable to sit for longer periods of time (or any period of time!) I thought those days were behind me, but with a newborn in tow, I have to remember that I'm not exactly up to speed in being able to do anything I would like! Oh well, there will be many more opportunities in future....the important thing is that our 4 year old daughter came home and promptly started dancing to classical music (in our living room). I do love to see her dance and enjoy music like that.
