Copious Amounts of Chocolate Needed

And all that chocolate? Eaten, an entire bag of Lindt Lindor Truffle (milk if you are curious). I needed them, all of them. The little orange pills I take to stay balanced were not enough today.



First I took Lilly to the dentist, but since my mom was working and Alan does not feel well, I had to take the other three also. I figured it would be fine, they have a huge play area and video game room. For the most part it was perfectly fine. There was one screaming fit from Sophia when there was an injustice done to her. And I finally let Delilah down to crawl around, the floor seemed pretty clean. It must have been because her legs and feet weren't covered in dirt like they were when she crawled on the floor of the hotel room in Branson. Lilly was in the back for an hour and everything was perfect with her teeth. So we left.



I guess I am a glutton for punishment because I decided to do the school shopping today, With.All.FOUR. Don't ask me why, I guess I just wanted out of the house and to spend some money. First we went to lunch at Applebee's. They were pretty well behaved, Aidan took to long to eat and Sophia didn't eat much, but they behaved. The food wasn't as good as usual, but overall it was a good time. Then we went to Babies R Us where I bought 2 new strollers, because you know I don't have enough. I bought two new umbrella type strollers. One was a Chicco so therefore more expensive and the other was one of their $20 ones they have hanging on a rack. I have my reasons and since they probably won't make sense to anyone anyways, I won't say anything more than the two new strollers will fit well in the van with the Sit N' Stand.



After Babies R Us we went to Target, heading straight to the potty. While in there I had the door flung open, while I was peeing. Aidan tried to pick the lock on a woman in a stall, while I had my back to her. I turned around to find her doing this when the woman said "Honey, someone is in here." So then I made her stand up against the wall while I finished changing Delilah. So yeah, it started out wonderfully. I should have left then and cut my losses. Instead I kept on trucking. Delilah was exhausted, she had only napped for 15mins on the way to North KC. So she was a pleasure. I had the brilliant idea to put her in the Umbroller and to have Lilly push her while the other two sat in the cart. You have no idea (or maybe you do) how exhausting it is to have Aidan walk in the store. The child is slow and deaf apparently, at least deaf to the sound of my voice. And she is a toucher, touching EVERYTHING. SO having her in the cart did help. Once Lilly understood she can't put her head down and RUN with the stroller she was fine pushing Delilah. Even though practically the entire time we were there Delilah fussed. I made it out with nearly everything on their lists and a bunch of stuff not on that list. The chocolate was one of the things NOT on the list. Aidan was like "is this for us?" I told her no, I needed it. She asked why and I said "Because you have driven me crazy and this will help."



After I paid I had to get everyone back in Kale's tiny car and try and fit everything in also. I forgot to empty the trunk, so most of it had to go on the floor board in front of Lilly. Now? I am going to sit and finish drinking the gallon of water needed to help flush some of the chocolate out of my body. And hope Delilah and Sophia nap for a little while longer.
