Re: The Blizzard parts 1-13 2/10/10
Bwah ha ha it is done!!
I have a lot on my plate right now, not to mention some other story ideas floating around in my head, so I wanted to get this finished. I apologize if it seems rushed. Now that it is done let me know what you think
Half an hour later I still sitting at the table, staring at the ceiling and playing with the spoon in my hand. Mommy had finished her dinner and went back in to the living room to get back on her computer. I looked down and the jars, sighed and opened the sweet potatoes. They indeed tasted like sweet potatoes, but needed some brown sugar, because the flavor sucked. I finished the jar and picked up the chicken and rice. I opened this jar and smelled it
How can there be chicken in this, its not refrigerated….
And it smells nothing like chicken or rice, could be raccoon puree for all I know
I sighed VERY loudly and slowly ate the nasty chicken rice paste. Finally the jar of peas remained, staring at me, mocking me. I hated peas, and baby food peas could not be any better. I opened the jar and threw the lid across the room to emphasize that I was not thrilled. I heard a small laugh from the other room. This caused me to pick up another one of the lids and throw it off into space.
“Break anything, and there will be some trouble, I guarantee you” mommy said from the next room.
I smelled the peas and gagged.
Why? What did I do wrong? I want to find whoever had the idea of making peas into baby food a force feed it to them for the rest of their life!!!
I heard footsteps and looked up in time to see mommy walk into the room. She retrieved the lids I had thrown and walked over to stand in front of me.
“If you don’t throw anything else, you only have to eat half the jar” she said.
I groaned, and gave my best puppy dog eyes.
“Not going to work, I was a teacher for way too long” she said.
I groaned again and stuck the spoon into the snot like substance and brought the spoon to my mouth. I held my nose with my free hand and for some stupid reason put the spoon in my mouth. It was as if something died in my mouth and had been left there for a month in the August sun. Mommy burst out laughing at the look on my face.
“Really it can’t be that bad” she said.
“But it issssssssssss” I whined.
“Please no more mommy!!” I said trying the puppy dog eyes again.
She sighed.
“Two more GOOD spoonfuls”
Figuring it was the best deal I was going to get I stuck the spoon back in and brought another spoonful to my mouth. After another gagging session and a good drink of water I went back in for the third and final time. I quickly shoved in the green goop, and finished off my cup of water.
“Jeez it was like pulling teeth” mommy said taking the jars and spoon off the table and walking back into the kitchen.
I took this as my opportunity and bolted into the living room, just in case she changed her mind. (adults do that sometimes) I stood at the window and even though it was dark I could tell the snow had stopped. I walked over to the couch, picked up the remote and turned on the TV. I found the weather channel; the snow had stopped, now the city just had to plow everybody out.
“Looks like we may be going back to work and school tomorrow” mommy said walking in and handing me a bottle.
I nodded and put the nipple in my mouth and lightly sucked to figure out what it was. Not feeling in the mood for apple juice I saw the bottle back down and channel surfed for a while. Mommy went back to her computer work until about 9pm.
“Well kiddo, I think we ought to call it a night since it looks like we’re going back to our normal lives tomorrow” mommy said.
“Sure, sounds good” I said.
She picked up the bottle I had forgotten about, took my hand and lead me upstairs. We walked into the nursery and I laid down on the floor. She pulled off my socks and pants and then pulled me to my feet, then picked up my pajamas and a fresh diaper.
“Tomorrow night I’ll be back at my apartment diapering myself, and you will be here diapering yourself. Even if we are alone, it feels less lonely because I know somebody that is doing the same thing” I said as we walked down to the bathroom.
“I know what you mean kiddo” she said.
“Can I take a shower tonight, so I can feel cleaner then I do with a bath?” I asked.
“Sure, save us some time and some water” she said.
Mommy turned on the water and adjusted the temperature. She pulled my shirt off and sat it on the floor. She then untaped my diaper and taped it to itself.
“I’ll come back when I hear the water shut off” she said walking out and closing the door.
I jumped in the shower and started washing my hair. I had always used my shower time to talk to God, and tonight was going to be no exception.
Not the past few days I have been expecting, but I can’t complain. Your driving here, not me. I do thank you for everything that has happened here, and thank you for everything that you have done. Please keep us safe as we go about our day tomorrow, and keep all the people safe that are traveling tomorrow in the snow. I pray in Jesus name, amen.
I rinsed out the shampoo and put in conditioner, then soaped my body. Just enjoying the feeling of the nice hot shower. I rinsed all the soap and conditioner from my body and shut the shower off. I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my hair, and another around my body. I walked to the sink and brushed my teeth. Mommy walked in just as I was finishing.
I laid down on the floor and she unwrapped the towel around my body. She applied baby powder and taped up my last diaper. I stood up and she helped me into my pajamas. She lifted me up and I laid my head on her shoulder as we walked back to the nursery. She laid me in the crib and handed me the bottle from earlier.
“It has been fun, we will have to do this again sometime. Next time let’s try a play date, you kids these days are too attached to your phones and Internet. You barley touched those nice toys, looks like I’m going to have to teach you how to play with toys”. Mommy said pulling the blanket up over me and tucking it in.
I laughed.
“It has helped me as well; I have always wanted to know what it feels like to be a mommy” she said running her fingers through my hair.
I smiled up at her and she smiled back.
“Night baby girl” she said putting the side of the crib up and walking to the door.
“Night mommy” I said putting the nipple of the bottle in my mouth.
I heard footsteps retreat down the hallway and then the sound of a gentle wind outside. I reached over for my phone, answered some text messages, and put the phone back on the table. I heard the sound of the shower down the hallway, and listened to the steady sound of the water and it lulled me to sleep.
1 week later
“Hey Kate, how was class today?” Ms. Darling asked as I walked into the office.
“My math teacher is the devil, but otherwise good” I said shedding my winter clothing.
She laughed and turned back to her computer.
I walked over to my desk and sat in my chair. I pushed my computer’s power button and pulled out the keyboard tray. I gave a small yelp and grabbed the object with such speed and accuracy you would think I was lying on my vision tests. I heard a laugh from across the room. My NUK5 pacifier wasn’t missing anymore. Ms. Darling and I were the only one’s in the office, so I got up and went over to her desk.
“I’ve been looking everywhere for this thing” I said.
“I found it last night when I went to get into the crib, it hurts to sit on” she said.
I laughed and walked back over to my desk and put the pacifier deep in my purse, making sure I knew where it was.
