Last of the maternity photos...

We finally took my final maternity photos. I told Charles that after this, I don't really want a camera pointed at me. And hopefully, there won't be much more time before we're taking lots of baby pictures! Yesterday was 37 weeks, so we are full term and ready anytime the baby decides he's ready.

ATM Fiasco

I went to make an ATM deposit the other day. My car, at least the passenger seat, is a little more crowded these days because I carry a running list of my errands, a snack or two, a water bottle and sometimes a thermos full of hot tea, baby coupons, etc. So I pull up to the ATM and stick my business card into the card slot. I reach down to get the deposit envelope and I can’t find my business card. Now, you have an advantage because I’ve already told you that I put my card into the ATM, but somehow I didn’t realize that. So, I look at the deposit envelope and don’t see the card, I open my purse and don’t see the card, I feel my seat under my legs thinking I might have dropped it, and I still can’t find the card. I start going through all of my various items on my passenger seat, and the car behind me starts beeping. (even in Georgia we have impatient motorists) So I think, I should pull away and get out of the car so that I can find my card which I must have dropped. Luckily, before pulling away, I looked up at the ATM screen, which was asking me, “Do you need more time?”. I hit yes, and saw it was asking for my pin. Oh, right, I already put the card into the ATM, that’s why I couldn’t find it.

So, I enter my pin, and I was so flustered that I accidentally hit “Press Here When Complete” in Spanish. So I had to do the whole deposit in Spanish. Luckily, I do enough deposits that somehow I made it through and think I correctly deposited the money.

I tell Charles this story and he says, why didn’t you hit cancel? And I was like, how could I find cancel in Spanish? And he tells me there’s a cancel button on the pin pad…So we’ll have to blame this one on baby brain- or maybe exhaustion…something must be to blame, right?
