It's been 3 years since we've had an infant in our arms around this house. I'm not complaining, though I thank my friends who are having babies that I can hold. :o)
Now that my 2 big kids are in school, I rarely do any major shopping trips with more than one child. Let me tell you, that is a HUGE difference from the days when I wouldn't dare venture out of my driveway with 3 toddler/infants in tow, without my husband. I just couldn't 'do' 3 kids by myself - shoot, who am I kidding, I couldn't take one baby shopping by myself without fussing about it. The thought is overwhelming to me still.
Today I saw Super-Mom - I'm serious, the real Super-Mom. This lady, in a good-sized city's Wal-Mart, had a pregnant belly and was pushing 2 carts. One being for groceries and the other with 2 kiddos in it. The kicker is, she was calm! She laughed with her kids, she didn't look stressed - she was amazing! She was truckin' along list in hand - the one pushing the cart for groceries.
Who knew Super-Mom really existed?!?!!? I had a suspicion and I knew it wasn't me. Well, I saw her today - sailing along in a Christmas-is-coming crowded Wal-Mart. Amazing.

- I'm passionately in love with Jesus. He overwhelms me. I'm outrageously in love with my husband of 11 years. He stole my heart. I'm giddily in love with my kids. They make me laugh.

I always feel real good (proud, darn it) when i'm cruising along with the crew and see a mom with one really outta control 3-4 year old. Sorry for her. Great for me. Is this a problem?
Wow! I wish I could relate, but I can't. LOL I don't shop with kids without my hubby, and I much prefer to shop by myself or with a girlfriend. My littles are 10 months, 2, 4 and 6 and I just don't have the guts to do it by myself!!
I have a friend like that! She has 5 little ones, and she constantly amazes me with her day to day duties. I am the same as you, if hubby doesn't go, I don't go! Thanks for the encouragment about moving! It's nice to know someone else moved at this time of year, I thought we might be the only crazy ones.
