Glutten for punishment

9/02

We desperately needed some food in the house and as it was only mid week I had to take both girls shopping to the supermarket. I thought making a fun day of it would make it a little easier. We started at lanark Loch where I pushed Neive around in her trike whilst Beth was in her papoose. This was a good plan till Neive wanted on all the play park swings and slides. Lifting a toddler and carrying a baby at the same time is pretty hard going. Eventually, thanks to the freezing cold weather, Neive wanted to go as she was getting really cold. But the minute we got to the car she needed a piddle. So we went into the inn on the loch for some coffee and cake and a warm up. Next we went to the supermarket. Neive was on her best behaviour and helped me all the way round and sat nice in her trolley. But in aisle 2 Beth started screaming - she's been teething badly! I had to carry Beth in my arms and push a toddler in a trolley all the way round the store whilst picking up the food/putting it onto the convyor belt and packing. I think they should enter this as an event in the olympics! By the time we got in I was shattered. So from now on food shopping at weekends only.
