What happened to Wednesday???

I had very good intentions of posting yesterday, but my children ran me ragged and I ran out of oxygen. Have you ever gone to the grocery store with a 4 year old and a one year old? Hoooo boy... let me tell you how fun *that* can be. I try to make sure I have all my bases covered before I go. Feed kids so they aren't whining for junk food (check!), get a nice long nap in for the little one to prevent toddler-meltdown (check!), make sure everyone goes potty because daughter is afraid of public restrooms (check!), write detailed grocery list by aisle so I don't have to backtrack across humongous super food center (check!), carefully clip coupons and arrange according to list (check!).

Let's just say, by the end of the trip, my meticulous planning was useless. The store we were shopping at is notorious for not having enough cashiers, so my children (who normally are pretty good in public) were throwing total fits after 45 minutes in line and not listening to a word I was saying. My son was literally throwing everything I put on the conveyor belt onto the floor, my daughter was spinning the bag wheel so the cashier couldn't put the groceries in the bags, little hands were flying faster than I could keep up with (hey... I was outnumbered!), kids were shrieking and crying and out of control, and I almost lost a complete head of hair. I never did use my coupons due to all that chaos either, lol! And... for a spectacular ending, it was pouring down rain when we walked out of there and my daughter fell in the parking lot and was soaked.

So, needless to say, I had no energy left to post.

But... to make up for that (and to reward you for having to sit through the first 3 paragraphs), I made a little something for you ;o).

Please remember though... this is a freebie, but send your friends here to get it. Don't give out the link. Thanks!

Have a gorgeous day!

Thanks for your grocery story.... ahhhhhhh.... we are certainly not alone in how we feel. I can relate TOTALLY. The window of time that you have to get out to shop between nap and eating is short and not exactly fun.

And, thanks for your creation. It looks super.

Thank you its very lovely - Exellent for many diffent types of pages.

I feel your pain with the grocery store! I can't get the car cart anymore! Too much hair pulling pushing, a little bitting... And we're fortunate enough to have toilets at the store that are automatic flushers! My daughter is terrified of them to say the least! Some times I think shopping is an aerobic exercise! Fortunately, it does get a little better with time. When kindergarten starts, I only have to take my litte guy. Yeah! LOL - Thanks for sharing!
