Grocery Store Solo!

I attempted to take both girls grocery shopping with me today at Fred Meyer. They have a free turkey if you spend $150.00 so I was planning on doing that. I had about $100.00 worth of groceries and I had to leave because both girls were losing it and Kennedy was crying. I couldn't shop for another $50.00 worth of groceries with them like they were. Madison was squishing her sister out of the cart and just not being all that nice to little sis. It was pretty miserable to say the least and I had to leave with $100.00 worth of groceries I could have lived without AND pay for my turkey.
We had a really great day yesterday and everyone was happy all day and today is completely opposite. It's so strange what a difference a day can make. I feel bad about days like this because I am not acting like the mommy I want to be. I know we all have days like this but it doesn't make the guilt any less.
Anyway, I have resolved to go to the grocery store solo for a while. At least if I have more than a couple of things to get because it just isn't worth it.
I have visions of leaving when Eric gets home and going and having a coffee while I get some reading done. It may never happen but it's getting me through the rest of my afternoon : )
