What it took to get groceries this morning

1. Late morning feeding after a (miraculous) hour-long nap.
2. Finally get both of us dressed for the day
3. Carry Grace around in an upright position for a few minutes to get her to burp
4. Gather grocery list and diaper bag and place Grace in her car seat
5. Realize her diaper must have leaked because her skirt is all wet
6. Take Grace out of the car seat and back to her changing table to remedy the leaky diaper and change her skirt to a pair of shorts (Somehow the shorts still match the shirt she's wearing.)
7. While buckling her into the car seat (again), Grace spits up massively all over the car seat and her shirt.
8. Remove her from her car seat and back to the changing table for a change of shirt
9. Look at clock and realize she probably should have a nap in 45 minutes or so
10. Contemplate not even getting groceries today. We can eat bread, eggs, carrots and water for a couple meals, right?
11. Power through, get Grace back in her car seat (for the third time) and hope we can just get back home in time for a quick 30-minute nap (That doesn't happen, by the way. She sleeps for 10 minutes on the way home from the store and then refuses to sleep any more once we get home.)
12. Wonder how on earth moms with more than one kid ever get anywhere
