Today was my one and only opportunity to see White Christmas, the musical Colby has been playing drums for. Harper has been more fussy then usual lately but had been doing great most of the first act. Towards the beginning of the second act she was crying and I couldn't get her settled down so I took her out into the hallway. I found a bench to sit on, I thought a good distance from the doors, and started to feed her. Then a lady came and asked me to take it in the bathroom. I know some people have a problem or are uncomfortable with women who breastfeed in public but I am very comfortable with it. I have become accustom to it and I always use a blanket over everything. I was not hurting or disturbing anything. I thought it was ridiculous but went into the bathroom anyways. It seemed as though she didn't want me going back into the show. So Harper and I were in the bathroom and she tipped over and bonked her head. She started to cry so I took her into a stall in the bathroom and someone came and shut the door on us! I thought this was crazy. I felt like they were locking us into the bathroom and we couldn't go finish watching the play. I was upset, Colby was even more upset that I had to miss the ending. Apparently the lady apologized to him tonight along with the house manager but no one said anything to me. She told Colby she had me go into the bathroom because patrons had been complaining. But while she was making those patrons happy she seemed to forget that I was a patron too. It really made me not want to go back to any shows there. I have never felt more unwelcome because I had a child in my life.
I am so thankful this is the last night of the play. I am getting sick of being home alone at night! So we are officially into graduation week. I am so excited and so ready to be done with the semester and school all together. I am considering applying for the job of editor of the local paper. It would be only part time but I have heard it was a lot of work. It would be nice to bring in a little money if Colby doesn't get a police job right away. That also means he could keep his current job which would be great since he gets great benefits. I guess we will just have to wait and see. But right now I need to find some motivation to get this semester finished up. Hopefully I can do it!
