yea so lets just say today was chock full of  hard lessons… yep file these away, you never know when you will be happy i told you.

1.  liquid benadryl trumps starbucks…i’m just sayin’

2. charlotte’s web…well not really appropriate viewing entertainment for a 3.5 year old…uh hu should have kept that one in the wrapper, afterall it been there for 6 months we got it at Christmas….but hey lets just say it evokes FEAR, yes F-E-A-R fear, dont do it!

3.  do not…and i repeat do NOT attempt to go to the grocery store at a time outside of your designated “time”.  stick to your hardly anyone there, every other shopper is a mom, monday morning time.  The early evening crowd does not include anyone who is slightly ammused by the fact that you have one toddler on your hip who is also trying to push the basket,and one toddler “houdini’ing” her way out of the cart cover strap all while opening the 4th toothbrush you will now be buying…nope these are corporate, speedy basket driving non kid having people, DONT mess with them, they will cut you!

4.  if you allow your kids to play outside at the childrens museum, despite what you think they WILL get soaked, not wet soaked!  take extra clothes, its not appropriate for your kids to ride down hwy 45 in their wet undies!

5.  take the double BOB stroller out of the car before you get groceries…your milk will get squished, its a fact!

6.  when one kids is whining, in that tattle tell voice, try to listen, at least with one ear, you never know when they are trying to tell you that their sister threw her aggie croc out of the stroller at mile 1.34 of your 2.5 mile morning run, yeah who has the energy to backtrack once you are done with your workout?!

seriously people this wealth of knowledge all came to me in one single day…i think its time for me to go to bed
