Running Errands....Ugh

Why, oh why do I put everything off until it just can't be put off any longer? Why is it that the day we finally run out of milk it is cold and pouring rain? Why do my husband and I get our prescriptions filled at different pharmacies?

These are just a few of the questions I asked myself this morning. Today I have no choice but to drag myself into the shower and brave the downpour outside to do one of my least favorite things . . . errands. Now, I know that most people don't enjoy grocery shopping and the like, but there are days when I really don't mind so much. (Like when it's not raining!) It also doesn't help that my husband works weird hours and Saturdays - this means I have a small window of opportunity to go at it alone before I will have my kids along for all the fun.

Anyone who has gone to any store with their kids know all about the "I wannas". My daughter will want cookies, candy and all of those toys that are so conveniently placed at the eye level of children riding in shopping carts. My son, is still too young to say "I wanna", let alone have a case of them. However, he will give me a small amount of time - to be determined by him - before he begins to cry endlessly until I take him out of his seat and carry him through the store while pushing the cart and trying not to forget anything. Haha!

So, hopefully I can get my husband to accompany me before he has to get to work. I think my kids know when they have me outnumbered - seriously!
