I can't believe you swung the grocery afterwards...that makes you alittle insane. However everyone must eat and the fact that no one had a meltdown till the checkout is saying something. Also you're driving skills of a grocery cart with one hand...fantastic. I usually only try to manage that with a Starbucks in one hand and can't even do it. I can't imagine holding a baby. I would get stuck with the cart that had the one bad wheel...you know what I am talking about. You give me hope that IF I should somehow get pregnant again (would take a super sperm to make that happen at this point) that I maybe able to handle it.Maribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07445256295178872164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7262794.post-48072195558459951702008-06-03T08:56:00.000-07:002008-06-03T08:56:00.000-07:00"such a scary nightmare with TWO"So true!Especiall..."such a scary nightmare with TWO"<BR/><BR/>So true!<BR/>Especially with the two year old boy. They don't LOVE shopping. Elizabeth looooooves shopping, she could shop all day. Dylan, eh, he gets crabby in the parking lot on the way INTO the store. Not good.<BR/><BR/>I do have four fakey Moby wraps --which is really just a 5 to 6 yard long strip of fabric that you tie around your body and stick the baby into. I've used it at home while vacuuming with excellent results!<BR/>I didn't want to spend the $50 on a real Moby so instead I bought 5 yards of four different colors of crinkle cotton when it was on sale at WalMart for $1 a yard. Voila! Four Moby wraps for $20! That's a 90 percent discount for those keeping score.<BR/><BR/>Since I wasn't planning to take a trip to Safeway, I didn't HAVE any of them with me. Which makes me think I should put one in the car just in case I go insane again.<BR/>Though I've already told Bob that me shopping with three kids will NOT be a regular occurence. It's a good thing, since I can barely fit the items I bought yesterday in the cart around Elizabeth...she's a lounger. That was a $40 order, our USUAL grocery order is around $200 sooooo, yeah. That won't work.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13710413791490462220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7262794.post-27764568293123433562008-06-02T21:26:00.000-07:002008-06-02T21:26:00.000-07:00Nice job, Jessey.

Unbelievable that you did it so smoothly with 3. You need one of those front pack baby carrier thingys. You wouldn't even have to drive the cart with one hand anymore (though you sound like a champ at it.) Seriously, even my cheap-o "non baby bjorn" version worked great when shopping with a baby, they feel close to you, so they're usually pretty happy, and you can get things done so much faster!Anne Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02643072040343131635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7262794.post-87908281323100627552008-06-02T19:30:00.000-07:002008-06-02T19:30:00.000-07:00You go, girl!You go, girl!Bernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06227356752179826057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7262794.post-65882352315409206672008-06-02T18:27:00.000-07:002008-06-02T18:27:00.000-07:00You've proven it can be done (brave) and now it wi...You've proven it can be done (brave) and now it will be expected of you on a regular basis (insane).

Insane to ever leave the house with all three of them when none are heavily sedated. and yet so very brave for considering it. you rock!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
