the redneck circus is in town

we went to wisconsin. it is one of about 25 trips we have planned this year. every mom has those items that they cannot be a parent without - especially for an overnight trip. well, unlucky for me, that product is my rocking recliner. how do you take that on a trip? you don't. tj knew that i was boycotting any and all trips until i found a portable rocker - roz is one of those babies that only breathes if she is in constant motion. well, the selection of portable rocking chairs is so slim that what we had to end up buying is the most embarrassing traveling $60 i have ever seen. i could really care less what people think of me... but this... this made me cringe a little. we already look so ridiculous everywhere we go. it's me, tj, roz, kea, kona, 2 dog beds, a bassinet, our luggage, a car seat, the boppy lounger, 2 diaper bags, a toy bag, and all of tj's hair product and shower gels crammed into a 2002 mercury sable with 200,000k on it because someone won't get off his wallet.
are you jealous of my gander mountain camouflage rocking chair? i don't know if you can even see it in the picture - it may appear as my child is just floating in mid-air. the camo is so realistic it can play tricks on you, but look closer. at 2 am while i was rocking roz i was wondering why exactly there is a need for a camo rocking lawn chair. what's the target demographic gander mountain is trying to impress? are there people who hunt from their front porch?

  1. I imagine a feller would like to haul that chair up in his tree stand and snipe deer in comfort.
