Remember When...

Going to Braum's to get milk took all of 10 mins. You just hop in the car, drive over, be-bop out, get the milk, check out, head home

Then, you had kids.

Going to Braum's to get milk takes 45 mins. You pack up, buckle in, forget your purse, get everyone out, get the purse, get everyone back in, drive to Braums, undo the carseats, carry one child while the other (hopefully!) walks beside you, Praise the Lord for automatic doors on the van and at Braum's, steer everyone over to the milk, catch the milk as big K pulls it out of the fridge, juggle milk/baby/purse/kid back to the checkout stand, put the small child down so you can get your wallet and pay, oh wait they are running out the automatic doors, re-evaluating the praise for the doors, run out to catch the girls, go back in and get the change, try to ignore the rude lady who didn't even try to help, put lil k back on the hip, grab big k's hand, load back up in the van, drive home while the ladies holler to drink the milk they just witnessed being purchased, get everyone back in the car, drive home and unload in the dark ( 2 kids, milk, purse, phone, old juice cups, Chick fil A trash from earlier, 2 dandys and a package of crackers big K couldn't leave behind), manuever through the messy garage and laundry room and we are home!

Here's to hoping Dad is home soon! I miss shopping alone :)
