Day 154: Busy little bee's

Today was a very busy day!! We started our morning off at bootcamp which was at the mall so it's usually a bit chaotic since there are a lot of hiding places. Bryce was not as good today as he has been the past few times. I think because the class size has grown with a lot of kids being out of school, he wants to be out playing too. But the problem is that he can not be trusted. After having just about enough of his screams and cries, I let him out of his stroller so long as he promised me to stay right by me and NOT go in the water. Yea, that lasted for about 1.2 seconds before I hear someone call out that Bryce is making his way right for the water. So back in the stroller he went; kicking and screaming. After class was finally over, we headed inside for a few minutes before heading to the pool. First stop was the bathroom since now Bryce is back at potty training. Of course Skylar had to go too once she saw her brother going and since we were already in there I figured we should probably give Eva a fresh diaper. After all of that was finally taken care of, we still had time to waste so I decided to quickly swing into Gap Body for some new sports bras. Of course, assuming anything will be "quick" with my bunch is pretty irrational but we dove in any way. Since, I didn't really have the time (or the patience) to try things on, I just grabbed what I needed and went straight for the register. Now mind you this is only after picking up the panties Bryce tossed on the floor, screwing the hand back on the mannequin that Skylar was determined to hold and it fell off, and trying to sooth Eva who acted as if she hadn't been fed in days!! I was so frazzled when we got to the register and then total fear took over when I realized my wallet was missing. I begin frantically retracing my steps mentally and getting ready to strap the kids to the stroller and dart through the mall in hopes of finding it, when I look under the table that I recently dragged Bryce out from under and taaadaaa, there it was. I take a deep breath, go back to the register, open it up and what's this?! Where's my debit card?? No, I'm not joking. This is just a normal day in my life. As I begin looking for it, I remembered that I stopped to get gas and must have left it in my cup holder of my car. I make my apologies, tell her I'll be right back and strap the kids down. I've got Bryce and Eva in the seats of our double stroller and Skylar on the nose as we are sprinting through the mall and parking lot. Now you must be thinking - those must be some pretty awesome sports bras to go through all that trouble but really I started thinking, what if I left my car doors unlocked? Or what if they're locked but the card is right there in plain sight. What would stop someone from breaking a window?! So I ran. I finally get to my car to find that it is locked, no windows are broken, and my card is sitting in my drivers side cup holder. We get the card, go back to purchase my items, then make our way to the germ tree to meet friends. But I had no idea it was already pool time so we left quickly. Finally after all the drama from the morning, we made it to the pool to have a nice relaxing time with friends. Well, not quite "relaxing" but much better then the mall that's for sure.
