The grocery store

What is it about a grocery store that has the ability to suck out every ounce of energy I have?! I timed everything perfectly today - kids fed, Lucas not sleepy. . .but we fell apart as soon as I put the first item in my cart. Lucas started fussing. . .Evelyn started crawling out of the cart. . .I got Evelyn back in the cart only to have her and Ezra start picking on each other and alternate which one was screaming. Lucas finally fell asleep, although, he shouldn't have needed a nap yet, and I did what any good mom would do. . .I stuck a sucker in Ezra and Evelyn's mouth. We made it home from the store. Now if only there were a fairy to put all the groceries away!
