This evening the kids and I connected with our friend on the way home to pick up our share of produce from our local Co-Op Farm. ( its a great deal, they deliver to the Intel sites, then you can pick it up there after work- they have other places as well of course). Anyway, this pick up on Tuesday USUALLY works well. Except in certain circumstances: (1) Ryan forgets (2) Ryan forgets the bags to turn in (3) Ryan is out of town. Today, Ryan is out of town, so we/he had arranged for a fellow friend/coworker to go inside the building and get the produce for me ( I can't go in- its badge only). Well, that worked OK until she had been given the wrong lobby address ( RA1, 2, something like that).. and she forgot her cell phone today. So I was waiting outside while she spent a good 30 minutes trying to find the produce pick up inside Intel somewhere. The security had no idea what she was talking about- ( which makes me wonder who set this whole drop off up? how do the produce bags get inside initially?)... anyway, so she finally calls her husband, who then calls me, and I say here's where I am ( Her husband then says.. "OH.. RA1 is a very different place than RA2...etc). I felt so sorry for her, she had kids at home, and here she was following some bizarre schematic from Ryan on how to find the produce that he had drawn on a post it note. :-)
Anyway, finally got it. Luckily I had some food in the car and a movie, or this would have been a total disaster with the kids.
On the way home, Grace says, " Mom, I remember when K and E were different."
Me: What do you mean they were different? Before they had kids?
Grace: Yes, before they had kids.
a few minutes later...
Grace: "It was like one day then didn't have kids, then they had ___ (1st child)and like the very next day they had _____" ( 2nd child)"
They have 2 babies when everyone else has a baby and a kid.
I laughed to myself- their kids are barely 18 months apart. I'm sure they feel that way. I just thought it was funny, that that seemed to happen "the next day". I somehow don't think pregnancy has ever felt like "the next day".
