Today I ironed. I almost never iron, but today I did. And I ironed dress shirts for my husband. He has enthusiastically supported my business whim. He has his work and pretty much leaves the onesie business to me but does listen and discuss when things are on my mind. He has been my financial backer (this makes for some good jokes) which took some guts as I was getting started just as the economy was tanking. Anyways, so I am ironing dress shirts and wishing that his shirts came out of the drier looking as great as the dress shirt bodysuits did when my son was wearing them.
Also while ironing I was mentally making my grocery list. I have discovered Safeway.com is a huge time and sanity saver. And when I plan for two weeks worth of meals it is easy to hit their free delivery promotions. I used to enjoy taking my crew to the grocery store and let them munch a bagel or donut while I pushed them around in one of those giant car carts (their favorite one is the green one). But the past two times it got downright crazy. I even had a fireman talking to my two year-old who was sprawled out on the floor having a fit because the bagger bagged something he wanted to hold. The fireman was asking him if he was Okay and offering to help because that's what firemen do. He was helpful in that he freaked my son out enough to make him silently cling to me. It was embarrassing though. So I swore off of grocery store trips with the kids. My options were early morning, evening or weekend to get to the store kid-free. Or I could go on-line grocery shopping. Yes, I now buy my groceries on-line and I can't believe the time it is saving me. I am sure we'll have to hit the store occasionally when we run out of milk but for the most part I am done hauling three kids to the store, the mall, or anywhere I have to make a purchase. It's the city water park, summer movies, play dates etc...for us.
So I know why I shop on-line....why do you?
