Not having the kids with me since last Friday I am a little out of practice. So today my ADD and very poor short term memory had the upper hand. I know this happens so I planed very little for today and knew I had to be flexible. The kids are all a little sick but they napped well this morning. We ate lunch at 12:45pm or so and everyone ate well. I was thinking man, this is going good! We all get loaded up for a quick grocery store trip (quick for us.) We get to the store, everyone is loaded in the stroller and I think uh-oh, I may need to go to the bathroom soon. This is something to be avoided at all cost when you are out with Triplets:) I think, OK, I can do this.... I turn to get their sippy cups. Just then I realized that I left the packed diaper bag on the kitchen counter with snacks, water, diapers, wipes, etc.... I am OK for diaper emergencies, I hide them EVERYWHERE (car, house, bags) so I am never too far from one. But no water and no snacks makes me a little nervous.
What to do...
I went for it! I boiled down my list to the must-haves. I flew through the store picking up bananas, bread, and hot sauce. I almost ran over several people. Anyone who knows me knows I walk fast. I move just as fast with them and a cart. It just takes me longer to get up to top speed and further to stop. Think of a Mack Truck. I also picked up some sodas that were on sale:)
We all made it just fine and had a GREAT time! No school this week, the school is closed. I am finishing my fourth load of laundry and the kitchen is clean, for now:)
Party like it's 1999,

It is so hard to obey!

As you can imagine, we spend a lot of time talking to our kids about making
good choices. We talk about the fact that bad choices have consequences

Ah, the mandatory pitstop before adventuring out solo with the tots.
It's a curse when we forget.
It's one of the worst conversation spots with toddlers....the Men's Room.
