Does anyone else...

feel like they've run a marathon after a grocery trip?

Yesterday I left at 8:15am and we were back before noon. We did have a very industrious trip with 5 stops (I think most of our time was actually spent buckling and unbuckling children) and two weeks worth of groceries. All in all, I felt like I should be more tired (if saying, "Yes, they are all mine and, yes, I am busy" sapped one of energy I'd be really exhausted) but I decided additional exercise was not necessary. It may be a stretch of an excuse. :)

Yardwork, housework, cooking for Sunday, laundry, and maybe a little sewing are all on the "to-do" list for today. This was yesterday's project... a pillow for a friend.

Still no bloomers but I'm set on getting them sewn before the day is over.

*laughing* It's so hilarious to feel like a circus act in the grocery store. I love how they all look at you like you must be insane. There are really sweet comments from older ladies who did it and loved it, and then there are the terrible ones from mean, old men, who say, "Just don't get PREGNANT anytime soon again, okay!?!?" Geez. Yes, a man said that to me the other day. I thought I was going to spit. Ha.

P.S. lovely pillow. *smile*

cute pillow! I'm adding more and more to the list of things I want to do while you're here :) I'll take care of your babies (aka my grandchildren) and you can make pillows.

oh, i am sorry that i didn't tell you the THREE CHILDREN rule... once you have THREE CHILDREN you can only make THREE STOPS on a errand trip. 5 stops was two over the limit...
