Today, we finally got out and did some much-needed spring shoe shopping.  Online shopping never works well for us.  The day went something like this..

Taught all day followed by looming at the instructor’s house.  We rushed home to change clothes to then fly to soccer practice.  Left one kid at soccer practice to rush to the shoe store that was 30 minutes away with the other 3 to hastily purchase some shoes.  After that, we rushed back to soccer practice to pick up the fourth kid.  Flew home to grab a bite to eat, then rushed to an indoor soccer tournament.  We got home around 10:30 tonight.  The pool guy called me in the middle of us buying shoes and said, “Oh, good for you.  You’re out having a great time shopping.”  I explained that this was not at all relaxing to me.  The greatest thing was that I could cross off of my list the large task of buying shoes for the kids.  I’m in desperate need of spring shopping for myself,but who in the world knows when that’s going to happen.  Tomorrow, I get to spend the day at a lacrosse tournament.  Just checked the weather.  It’s supposed to start raining mid-way through, and I’ll have all 4 kids with me!  No sitter’s available, all the family is in the south, and hubby’s working.  Doesn’t that sound like another relaxing outing for me?  Now, where’s the Calgon?
