Tuesday errands

I am looking forward to the day I get to do errands by myself! I love to shop but shopping with two kiddos in tow NOT SO MUCH. I think I am gonna begin a countdown till N first day of school. Yes it is bitter sweet to see my babes grow up so fast but this momma needs a break.

Here's a sample of how today (and most Tuesdays go).
6:00 Boys are up
7:00 I am finally getting going (once i realize there is no chance of getting anymore sleep)
7:30 Breakfast for boys - get wroking on the grocery list
8:00 start getting dressed
8:15 OK BOYS ENOUGH PLAYING AT THE TABLE - breakfast over
8:20 BOYS GET DRESSED......
8:40 BOYS QUIT PLAYING AROUND AND GET READY TO GO
8:45 i round up the library books/movies - boys get shoes on
9:00 out the door

First stop walmat -
   "mommy i don't wanna ride in the basket i wanna walk" "No"  - N goes in the seat J in the basket ............ "N turn around and leave J alone" "are we done yet?" "we just got here" - about 45 min of looking and yelling at the boys to leave eachother alone, be quiet and for J to sit up and quit laying down on the things im buying  we head to check out - luck today went rather quickly :)
Call hubby to see if he wants to meet for lunch -  "Sure" - off to subway
Lunch -  "mommy i don't want subway" daddy says "just eat it"
J eats 3 in of ham & cheese sub N complains and won't eat  -  after a semi enjoyable lunch with hubby time to part ways
Library - turn in last weeks books and movies & start to look for new
J & N running around being louds after being told to be quiet we started to pick out new movies first "if you two can't be quiet and settle down we won't get anything" (warning didn't work) so we left kicking and screaming empty handed
now time for the commissary - UGH let me just put it this way i had a list and I STILL forgot stuff that was on the list! mostly because i couldn't focus on what i was doing because boys yelling at eachother, poking eachother, touching items on the shelves, taking sales tags down ect
then came the worst.............CHECKOUT!
I was happy to see on one in line one person at each register ( or so i thought) i go to the one that looks almost done (looks can be decieving). chasier having problems, then the lady wanted to buy cigerets then had trouble paying - next lady only 4 items ( should have gone in the express lane or self checkout ) having problems - and then one more lady again should have gone to express with only one item. after fighting with the children who want to get unbuckled from the cart and be lound and pick at eachother it's finally my turn - once the chasier starts to ring up my items looks at the boys and says "WOW they are being sooooooo good" Ha the thought made me want to laugh but by now i am so ready to be done myself i just gave her a polite smile and said "yeah, now they are"

finally get home 1:30 send the boys to their rooms after talking to them about their behavior I have a car to unload as i'm putting away the groceries i notice the fridge needs to be cleaned out and reorganized - "UGH" is all i have to say at this point because all i want is a nap :(
