This is my second week on my own with just Samantha and Joshua during the day - all day. All 10 hours of the day. All very long 10 hours of the day with the 2 of them. Last week was a lot of feeling it all out and trying to get my act together. OK, maybe not getting my act together but at least learning what that "act" is all about. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I did get out of the house once last week, just once. I put Samantha in the Moby wrap, Josh in his stroller and headed out the door. I made it to the mailbox and halfway around the block. The wrap was just not working that well and it made it difficult to really walk around. At least I got out of the house.
Over the weekend, we finally put the double stroller together. So, today I decided to venture out with the stroller - to the grocery store. It is a 5 minute walk, and there is a Starbucks in there. Oh heaven! Getting the two of them into the stroller and walking to the grocery store was not that bad. When I got to the grocery store, I had both kids complaining. Oh joy. Finally they settled down, I picked up a few items from the store and bought my Starbucks (grande soy decaf caramel macchiato). It was then time for lunch for Joshua, so I needed to leave the store. As I left the store, it started lightly drizzling. OK, I can handle this. As I continue to walk home, the rain comes harder and then turns to HAIL! Yes, hail. So, I start running. The baby was pretty covered as the stroller lies back to almost flat. But, poor Joshy! I'm sure he got pelted by the hail. At least the grocery store is pretty close. So much for getting out of the house with no issues. This 2 kid thing is really challenging!
