As soon as we walked into the grocery store the fighting broke out. Everyone was vying for the coveted spot at the front of the cart. As I was attempting to break it up, a man walked up to me, tapped me on my shoulder and said with a smile, "My Condolences."
If he could have seen me at the end of our quick little errand, I can only imagine what he would have said. Kiki was throwing a tantrum because I refused to buy her a toy at the check out. Amy was trying out some gymnastic moves on the checkout divider bars. Ian and Tara were arguing about who found the most money as they scoured on hands and knees around the checkout register. Oh and then there was the accident in your pants to top everything off. Thank heavens I could claim one kid as mine, Eric earned a gold star!
All in all it was a successful grocery trip. I left with all my children, everything on my list, and 13 cents found by Tara and Ian.

Wow, 13 cents! That is seriously impressive!
I need to send my kids in for that money. At one register at Wal-mart there is a quarter down there. It kills me every time I see it. I never thought to have Malachi get it! ;)
5x the work 5x the fun!
Every time I have a bad shopping trip with my kids I will think of you.
Seriously, you are my hero.

I can't believe you fessed up to an accident in your pants.
You are superwoman! I try really hard not to go shopping with all of my kids :) I'm only down one, but man, you are amazing!
I'm impressed you got everthing on your list. Even when I run in by myself I always miss something. I think I've had Starch on my list for the past month...
I lose Ellie almost every time I go to the store. I lose her so much that my parents bought her a beeper. I feel like I am the circus act where ever we go. LOVE IT! My condolences to you. Haha, it would take a lot more than condolences.
