Shopping in pairs

Today i found a solution to my 'No food in the house' issue. As mentioned, my car is not working so have not been able to get to the shops all week, i normally go Mondays and really neeeded to by then so by today i was desperate!

But thankfully I have a friend who also needed help, she has recently had back surgery and cant lift heavy groceries bags so she had the car and i had the muscles- A fair trade Smiling

Most of out afternoon out was great, it is so much funner shopping with a friend, i also felt guilty if i was heading for something unhealthy so ended up with alot more vegies which is great. The only issue is that it can be stressful shopping with a 6 month old and a 13 month old who are both getting hungry and tired.

We quickly stopped at my place so i could throw the cold stuff in the fridge then headed to her place. By that stage both boys were crying in the back seat. As I was the only one who could carry the bags I was going in and out of the house with Eric having a melt down every time i left his sight.

So we got inside and both boys were crying and screaming. I put Eric down and he screamed even louder. I pick him up but cant help which is why i was there in the first place!

Eventually I gave him a sandwhich which he proceeded to throw on the floor while Jono (the 6 monh old) cried in his cot. So i eventually gave him some custard instead while Amy gave up with the screaming baby and gave him an extra feed.

After all that screaming, we needed a treat- DESPERATLY!! So we had a choc icecream which she had picked up while out. There were 4 in the box, we ate 2 and she insisted i take the other 2 home! She is actually allergic to chocolate if she has to much so said that if it is in the house when her partner gets home she will be in for a lecture, so being a good friend i took them home Smiling

This afternoon has been stressful, Eric only slept for 40 min this afternoon so has been grumpy. He is not so bad at the moment as we just had dinner but if something does not go his way he grizzles and comes over to me. Thankfully he has learnt i wont react to him grizzling at my feet so he gives up and finds something else to do.

I am really looking forward to bed! I definatly wont be having another child anytime soon (not that i have a choice), The 2 boys together was just to much and there were 2 adults!

I hope you all have had a less stressful day Smiling
