What was I thinking?

Well, I will tell you what I was thinking "stop kids from screaming, get kids into car, buckle squirming, crying kids into car seats, keep kids appendages from being shut in car door, get kids dinner, get kids home......." I was thinking about everything except putting my grocery bags into the car! Like the fool, with apparent short term memory loss, that I am I decided to go to the grocery store just before dinner. Why I thought that would work I just don't know. So we finished our shopping, got to the car, buckled in etc. we went to McDonalds and got Happy meals, I thought we were doing well. I pulled into the driveway got out of the car, started to unbuckle the kids, where are my grocery bags? Yeah, I left them in the basket in the parking lot. So I had to go back to the store and go inside with the kids again, at least by now they were fed (Happy meal in the car, healthy) but I did not think to get a basket. They had already put back all my perishable items, so I had to carry a 30lb baby in one arm and a pile of groceries in the other all while making sure the other child did not run around tearing up the store.
But, by the grace of God, we are home the kids are fed, bathed, and happily sleeping. This is my favorite time of day.
