Audrey's rebellion

I forgot about this with everyone visiting...

So Friday night, I had a babysitter! This is mondo-exciting because our last ward had no babysitters, and this one has a bunch! Anyways, I had mopped the whole downstairs - definitly needed to be done - and worked my butt off trying to make sure all my ducks were in a row to have a nice night away from my children and with my husband. I planned enough time to take a shower and blow dry my hair - which I never get to do - this was a big deal. Alone time for the first time in like 5 weeks.
We picked up McD's for the kids, and I fed Audrey. I picked up Amanda and we were set. Aaron and I went to this Mexican place that we've been wanting to try for a while. It was a nice dinner. We got done in an hour, and were headed out to go shopping for a little while - when the phone rang. Before she could even speak, I could hear Audrey hysterical in the background.
"Umm, Sister See, this is Amanda, I'm sorry to call you but umm... your daughter has been screaming for the last half hour. She won't take a bottle, or her pacifier..."

Seriously, I was mortified on many levels. We went home, and as soon as I took her, my dear, darling Audrey calmed down. I handed her off to Aaron, just so I could go to the bathrooom, and she screamed. Maybe I should feel flattered that she loves her mom so much. But that doesn't outweigh the fact that she totally ruined my evening. I don't ask for much alone time. I don't ignore her. I don't let her just sit there and cry. I have gotten fairly adept at doing just about everything during they day with Audrey in my arms, or at the very least, in my sightline.

Ugg. Sometimes being a mom sucks. When she can talk, I am going to demand an apology.
