My husband had phone duty at the real estate office this morning, so I was left home alone with 3 kids who have tried my last nerve all week long. I knew that someone was going to come out of it scarred if I didn’t get out of the house this morning, so we loaded up in the minivan and headed downtown.
My first stop was the Farmer’s Market. Unfortunately, they’d already sold pretty much everything. Good for the farmers, bad for us! So then I decided to walk up to Added Accents and see if Amy had any goodies available. Their new store looks great, and I was super excited to find that they have bECO Baby Carriers! I’ve been wanting one for a very long time, so as soon as I have $140, I’m going to go get one. I did have money for some chocograhams, so I let each of the boys pick out a treat and got myself one, too. There were also several boxes of cake truffles, but I resisted the urge. (Sorry, Amy!)
Then I got the bright idea to hit the library since we were already downtown…anything to kill time. The kids were all behaving well so I thought we’d push our luck just a bit and see how things went. Unfortunately the library is closed this weekend, which is apparently the worst.thing.ever. to a dramatic 6 year old boy. I swear, you’d think someone had just shot his dog! I was disappointed, but it certainly didn’t warrant the reaction he had. At that point, I decided it was time to just go home.
It was sort of disappointing in that there were no fresh veggies left and that we couldn’t get any books, but it was nice to have a morning out of the house, knowing that I can manage them all myself while we’re out and about. Next week maybe we’ll get up earlier. And I’ll even try to fix my hair and put make-up on so I don’t scare people I meet!

Good for you for getting out with all 3. I am fairly adventurous and even I can count on one hand the amount of times I’ve taken all 3 out together. Kudos to you!
Is your husband a realtor? Was he on the floor? I have worked in real estate for 14 years…
Are you as excited as I for the Season Premiere of GH this week? Mad Men and GH in one week, it’s almost too much.

Yes, he’s an agent now! We got tired of the way people in manufacturing are treated and he decided to make a total career change. He’s really excited about it…already has several listings and several potential buyers. Now if we can just get some of these to close, we’ll be in good shape!
I also cannot wait for GH! SO excited!
