Grocery Shopping

Today, my schedule mandated that I go to the grocery store with the babies in tow.

Now, I know you probably have all heard about how much I HATE taking them out now-a-days with the way folks react to us and all.

But, I did it anyway, because there really wasn't any other way to have milk and still make all of the appointments that I have scheduled tonight and tomorrow.

I had the new stroller, the one that keeps my kids from acting like the 3 Stooges most of the time.

I had never tried pushing the stroller and pulling the buggy with it before, so it was an experience.

This particular stroller doesn't have any wheels that turn for corners or anything, so if you want to turn, a wheelie must be popped, and often!

This made navigation difficult for me. Well, it might have been easier if folks were a little nicer about my not being able to help the fact that I have a long shopping train to deal with!

I know we are quite a spectacle, but I do wish folks would understand that if they come up and stand right next to my kids, it automatically makes them want to lean away from the people if they are too close, throwing the balance of everything totally off and posing a huge tumping threat!

It was soo cute, though, because this elderly gentleman talked to us a bit, and kept coming up to me, asking if I needed any help with my shopping.

He was soo sweet and soo sincere, I really hated to have to turn him down, but he needed to do his own shopping, too!

It was really neat to get an offer like that, though. I really appreciated it!

Overall, we only got stuck badly, once. It was in the check-out aisle. We are apparently one tiny bolt too wide for the regular check-out at Brookshires.

Luckily, the aisle next to us was wider, so we just hopped over to that one to get out!

Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but it was very tiring!
