Can Carry Only So Much

I thought it would be a great idea to walk a mile away to a grocery store with my 20 pound child in the Bjorn body carrier with a backpack on my back to carry home the groceries in. That was not such a great idea. See here.


But then I stopped at Walgreens to pick up some other things, which I added to my backpack.


Then I stopped at the market to pick up even more things.


Backpack was stuffed by the time I got home, not to mention I had a bag to carry by hand as well!


All the while on our return, the baby was sound asleep nestled warm against me. If she only knew that I was about to drop dead toward the end.


I told the market clerk..."If when you get off your work shift today and you see me lying in the street passed out cold, please drag me off to the side out of traffic's way. Thank you."


Now that I'm home, I'm exhausted.

I need a nap just from listening to it. By the way, I dig the new blog design.

What a sight you would have been! I know it's not funny at the time, but I couldn't help but laugh. It reminds me of the type of thing I would do.

Just yesterday I went to the shop just to grab a COUPLE of things, I didn't get a handbasket because I thought I wouldn't need it.

Well, I should have known I always see things that I just have to get. So I ended up carrying about twelve items - including milk, bread (squashed by the end of it!),onions and various other packets and tins!

At the time I was swearing I would never do that again, but I know it won't be the last time!
