How do I get to where we are going on time with out the girls slowing me down? How do I try to stay on step a head up them? I try to stay a step a head of them, but they always get a head of me. Than we are late or almost late. I can't stand to be late for things,but the girls are a good reason for being late. If I did not have to drag them everywhere with me I would never be late.
When we are running late most of the time it's, because one of the girls has dumped something like there juice on there shirt or pants so we have to changing them right before we are going out the door. Than one of them has to go to the bathroom or needs a diaper that takes at lest another five minutes that I didn't plan for. Than getting there coats on them and getting them out to the car I think this takes the longest like a lest another ten minutes. It's funny when you look at how long it really take you to get the small things ready, but you really think it should only take a few minutes tops. I feel my kids are always slowing me down, because they always need something right before we leave.
Another thing they slow me down with is going to the store. There is no more just running in and getting something. It starts with getting them out of the car seats and buckles. Than getting them into the store and they always need something to eat or drink. You have to go find the one kind of juice they like.Try to get whatever else you needed and hope they did not see anything they just had to have. My girls see chips and they think have to have some so I try to skip those kind rows. Just to get out of the store faster, but it is never fast in and out. Than there is loading them back in the car seats and buckles and opening the juice and what else we got. Than I put the bags in the car. It is a lot different than if I was by my self just running in.
Picking them up from daycare always take for ever to get them out the door and in the car. They don't want to stop playing with there friends. It is a fight to get them to stop playing with there friends. Than when I get them to stop playing, I have to get there coats and shoes on them and trying to chases two kids around to get there shoes on is quite funny looking I'm sure. After a while they both have shoes and a coat on them. Than I bring juices in the mornings for them to have for the ride home, so we go get them. Than it is out to the car finally and get them in there seats.
To think how much time I would have if I didn't have to drag them everywhere with me. I would be on time and than some I would not know what to do with out them and the fighting to get them ready. I would not have it any other way, I guess being late for a while is not so bad every now and than. They will not be this small for long so enjoy it while I can. When they like being with me and doing things with me, because when they get older they will not want to be with me as much and they will want to be with there friends. I don't mind if they slow me down for now.
Ways the girls slow you down: places, incidents, problems, hassles. Sure, this works, and I'll take it as is.
