Running Out of Options

As the house inspections continue at our house - why oh why can't they all do them at the same time??????!!!!!????? - I've been wondering where to take Alex today. We went to Marshall's/the mall for two excruciating hours yesterday, and I'm fairly certain we need to at least give the mall a break today. Alex made her presence very known yesterday, screaming like a banshee because she needed a nap much more than mushroom pizza (even though she enjoyed most of the pizza, or should I say PIZZA!!! very much) so seriously, I can't even walk in there again today. I'm certain everyone there thinks I torture babies for a living after that fiasco, so until they forget, the mall's out.

Perhaps we can go plant shopping. Yes, the nearest greenhouse that I know would be great. Oh, except for all the pottery and assorted other breakables they stash all over the place to make it less child-friendly. I think they actually do that on purpose. So maybe that's a no. Hmm, the library? Oh, that's right, Washington's birthday - no library today. Perhaps I should send them a list of all the birthdays I know so they can close every day for a birthday. Think of the savings to their budget! I could bring New Castle County back into the black for sure.

The playground? Well, it's kind of cold and windy, and Alex has declared a no-go on "glubs", mittens and/or hats.......perhaps not a good idea for a whole hour. So that eliminates all outdoor venues for today.

Well, gee, um, I can't really think of any place, so this afternoon should be interesting. Mall here we come?
