The perfect gift.

So today I drove around just about the entire first half of the day in search of a perfect fathers day gift for the most amazing dad in the world! ... Didnt purchase a thing! The thing is I started out with energy through the roof and slowly but surely it started to slip away. I loaded all the kids into the car and started off to pick up my moms discount card to GNC only to find out she wasnt at work. Then I drove to her house ... only to find out she wasnt there either. Finally I said enough is enough and I will just pay full price no biggie so I drove to the loop. After having to yell at my two older kids more then half way over there I thought taking them into GNC was probably a bad choice so I left. I just kept having endless visions of vitamin bottles being knocked over left and right! Then for whatever reason I thought I would take them into Old Navy because they can all use a new suit and Old Navy is have a great sale... bad choice! Taking 4 kids under the age of 6 into Old Navy to try on bathing suits is no easy task Ill have you know! It actually started off ok and by the end of the trip I was sweating. Of course the handicap dressing room was taken so I had squeeze all five of us plus the baby stroller into the tiny changing room. Then as I am trying to help my 5 year old try her suits on my 3 year old is banging his head continuously into the door (thinking its amusing) and my 2 year old is removing all the suits from the hangers and trying hers on over top of her clothes! Time to go! Left there empty handed and I promised my 5 year old we would go back when it was just the two of us then my 2 year old starts crying bc she really wanted a "new soup"! Yikes! I have obviously learned how to manage the 4 kids solo (because that is my job) but something about being crammed in that tiny space just got to me! Needless to say I started out my day with the best of intentions excited to accomplish the task at hand and ended up empty handed! Hopefully tomorrow goes a bit smoother!
