First Outing Alone

Yay! I'm still alive!
I took both girls out, alone, and we made it back home safe and sound!

Thursday I have an appointment at Barnes at 11:20 am, and because this week is our work Convention, Andrew will be in STL and I will have to do the appointment alone (my parents are out of town too, as my dad is usually in charge of taking me places). I've been off my pain meds for about a week so it was finally time for me to drive myself.

It took us a while to get ready and get out the door, since Andrew usually is in charge of taking care of Avery while I feed Hadley, or changing Hadley while I take care of getting Avery dressed. But it was just me this morning, so it took quite a while. I'll have to remember that for days when it's just us and we have to get somewhere.

Today, we just were going to Walmart to pick up a few things we need and also to pick up some more craft stuff for Avery, so we can get back into the routine of our once-a-day-projects.

Getting both girls out of the car and onto the stroller was the hardest part and took a lot of time (well, to someone that doesn't like to waste time on things such as that). Annoying. But I got them both loaded onto the stroller and we went into Walmart. The only issue we encountered was how much stuff we could buy, because I couldn't very well push a stroller along with a cart, and I couldn't put both girls in the cart because that would give me even less room really (and I'll admit it here, I've mistakenly not paid for items that got lost under a car seat while in a cart).

Avery was my "helper" but she could only hold so much. So we got our stuff and got back out to the car, and I got everybody loaded fairly quickly in the hot hot heat, so I think it was an overall success.

We even had lunch with Daddy, picking him up and running home to pick up some things he needed to fax in for insurance purposes.

Overall, it was a pretty good day, so I think I'm ready for Thursday. I hope we can get a decent parking space in the parking garage; that place gets sweltering in this heat.
