Pocporn and Icees

Today was THE big errand day. Five places, 3 kids and rain. Once a month we have a big errand day. My kids are not particularly fond on this day but normally it goes pretty smoothly. I have my list. I am organized to try to speed up the process. Today, not such a smooth time. I know my kids say my name 100s of times each day but on errand day it is ten times that. I should have known by the weather we should have foregone errand day and stayed in our pjs. By stop two it is, "he looked at me ugly." Stop 3 "She touched me." By stop 4 I was wondering "how many times can three children need to go to the potty." We had one more stop. Now many of you are wondering why I just didn't pack it up and head home. We live a good drive from most of our stops so I try to be efficient with our gas. Today though I seriously considered throwing in the towel. I had lost my list and my mind. Last stop Target. We walked in and there was my sanity. The popcorn and icee stand. I wheeled it in, placed my order, plopped them all in the cart and shopped till my heart was content. I even found my list.
