Maybe I need to buy a big bag for stuff. Or maybe I just need to realize that I can't juggle 8 items in my hands at once.
TWICE today, I dropped things. Twice.
Once in the store and once in the garage.
I picked up the kids today and God forbid, you don't bring a snack.
So I stop at the grocery store and grab snacks. Peanut butter crackers, strategically placed for the Impulse Buyer (aka Me), but I'm not sure if they like those, so I grab goldfish too. And they need to have drinks, or else I will hear "I'm thirsty, Mama, I'm thirsty!" (and it's in really cute - albeit whiny - little voices, but I don't want them to be thirsty) so I grab a vanilla milk and a chocolate milk. As I'm walking to the milk, I see the 80 calorie snack individual wrapped up cheddar cheese. Oooo, I bet they would eat those. Plus good for lunches! Score! Grab, balance. Oh! Look! Babybel cheese! So cute in it's little wax holder. And on sale, too. Mine.
OK, I have no more room on top of my hands, which are delicately gripping the peanut butter crackers, goldfish, two types of cheeses and two milks. Oh, and my Hobo clutch is somehow involved. Which at least fits my cell phone in it and my keys too, although it's quite possible that those were in my hand as well. (It's kind of a habit. A bad habit, but a habit. I'm surprised I don't lose them more.)
I get to the register and BOOM! lose the vanilla milk. The girl is so awesome, wipes it up from the floor while I run to get another one, apologizing away when she's still in earshot. Where was she later when I needed a cleanup in my garage?
Toby Cat is meowing at me and the cat food is in the garage. I go out there (scary in itself) and find it balanced on top of two cases of seltzer. Mmm. That seltzer looks good.
I grab a 6-pack of the lime, along with 3 cat food cans and a 12-pack of toilet paper. BOOM! A can slips out of the seltzer holder and smashes onto the floor.
pssssshhhhhhhhhhhh, I hear it start to spray out of the side of the can. So yes, there may have been some shotgunning of a seltzer going on in my garage tonight.
