Tip of the Day

This tip of the day is provided free of charge out of the goodness of my heart and my desire to see someone avoid the mistakes I make on a moment-by-moment basis.

Today's Tip:

Avoid hauling two preschoolers to the store right before naptime, thinking foolishly that it will be a quick trip. You will have meltdowns.
Do not entrust your high-value coupons to your four year old. He will lose them.
Always check your purse to make sure that you transferred your wallet out of the library bag and back into your purse. No store will accept tired grumpy children as payment, especially if you lost your coupon.

Just to clarify - it is you who was having the meltdowns or your children? Just wondering.

Oh sweet mother, what a bad day. Pretend someone wins a medal in your honor at the Olympics tonight. Don't forget to cry and wave as everyone sings your praises.

Maria, just remember each day is a new day! Hopefully today will be less meltdowns and lots of good memories!!!
I took all 4 at dinner time last night and it end up taking nearly 2 hours - not good. We didn't loose coupons, just tore them! But we did survive and today is a brand new day - Praise the LORD, cause I couldn't handle another Monday!
