Supermom runs errands

OK, so this is definitely one of those posts where I'm bragging that I survived, but it does make me stop and check myself and see that I CAN handle my two children in public, so I really should get out more often. Ha. Hope you get a laugh.

Matt wakes up from his nap. I immediately feed him some baby food, as I nursed him just before his nap, so he should be good for awhile, now. I put Ben on the potty just before leaving home. This was 11:30 a.m.

Drive-thru at the bank. Explain to Ben what it means to wait our turn. Drive to CVS.

Two boys out of carseats (that's 2) and into a cart.

Shop for less than 5 minutes and get the appropriate "free" wipes, and Twizzlers for the upcoming road trip(s).

Head one parking lot over, to Weis.

Run in for spiedies to take to our friends upstate, come out with spiedies and blueberries, since they were buy one, get one free. Take Ben to the potty while balancing Matt on knee. (Score the handicapped bathroom so there is room to stand up while Ben is actually GOING. Nice.)

Two boys back into carseats (that's 5) and groceries into the cooler in the trunk.

Drive-thru at Wendy's. Get Ben chicken nuggets. Drive to T.J. Maxx.

Into T.J. Maxx, don't bother with cart, just a quick return. In and out. Walk over to Wal-Mart (in order to avoid another carseat exchange). Run through, grab necessary items and then some, run out.

Stop at DD to get Ben a treat for being an awesome kid through all of the above mayhem and madness. Buy one chocolate glazed donut and split it 25/74/1 with Ben and Matt (meaning, I ate 25% of it, Ben had 74% of it, and Matt had a tiny bite of it :).... drive home.

1:30 p.m. - Into the house, unpack groceries, back to the potty, change diaper, nurse Matt, boys down for naps, BREATHE. Ahhhhh....
