Not Born To Run

These days I seem to be an errand running machine. Why do I have more energy at 35 than I did at 20? Today we left the house at 10:30 for art lessons and we didn't get home again until bedtime. I still didn't get half of my list accomplished, including my work out, dang it.
- Art lessons
- Lovely's hair cut. Yay it's short again! Go ahead and call her a boy, see if I care. (Yes, this is an old photo but I am too tired to post a new one.)
- Lunch
- Target
- Bank
- Book store
- Old Navy
- Roller skating rink (where I forgot my driver's license last week!)
- Music store
- Library
- Macy's (going out of business sale)
- Payless shoes
- Dinner (no cooking for us today)
- Basketball practice
- HOME!!!
Needless to say I sent everyone to bed early and I'm on my way there right now.
Have I ever mentioned what perfect little angels my kids are? In the car that is. None of them were blessed with my car sickness disease so they bring a book everywhere we go and read constantly. It's Heavenly! Oh, except for my two year old little devil who spends half her time screaming at me because she can and she knows I can't reach her from the drivers seat. Did I mention that she is almost three and she's starting to act like it?
What's up with all this shopping when I don't buy stuff? I tell more tomorrow and show you some of the fun STUFF I came home with!
Yes I'm back on line!

Glad you're back online! I didn't mind errands before kids but now - ugh. Getting them in & out and in & out...it's just too much. And I only have two. I think it will be different when they can both walk on their own without me holding their hand & I don't have to worry about putting them in carts or things like that. Sounds like a fun shopping day though!
Yay for being back online!
I know what you mean about errands...they are the bane of my existence. I often consider hiring a babysitter to just sit in the car with the girls. I've been buying books online because I dread dragging them into the library with me!
"You might be a redneck if you keep a flyswatter in the front seat, so you can reach the kids in the backseat." LOL
Time to teach her that you can & will pull over if she needs attention!
I try to avoid errands when I can with my threesome.
It exhausts me just to think about running errands. I can only due two or three at a time with my little ones. I can't imagine your day. Very brave.
I've often thought the same thing about cleaning. When I was single or a mother of one I was not into being clean or having a house of order. Now that I'm a mother of, soon to be, 5 I clean all the time and my house is never all clean at one time for more than 1 second. If had used half this energy to clean when I was single my place would have been sterile.
I can't wait to see your stuff!
Yeah, I am finding more energy the older I get too. So wrong. I hated running errands after the baby was born, but I am handling it a little better (more than one stop) these days.
Looking forward to hearing about the stuff.
