Coupon Madness

Ash & I had this CRAZY, I mean ABSOLUTELY CRAZY idea that we should take TWO crabby, tired, hungry 1 year olds to Target today :D..yes, all I could do was smile. Otherwise, I would of(as Mrs. Traser always said) do the "double eye-gauge" Picture this (mind you, I DO NOT make this stuff up) 2 babies, means 2 carts. In case you have not been to Target in the past decade (all though I am not complaining by any means) their carts are HUGE! Ok, so now we have 2 crabby, tired, hungry 1 year olds & massive carts, 2 purses, 2 diaper bags. Ok, now it's time to shop. Well I share this amazing idea with Ash. Well, I didn't really run this idea by her BUT...since she is such a GREAT friend she got put into the role of going through my stack of coupons while I hunted the aisles. Most people would make a list of what they needed. Now, if that were the case, *that I actually needed any of this stuff; that would work. However, I'm a crazy lady & for some odd reason think that I am saving money if I buy ANYTHING that has a coupon. So here we are with 2 babies (being "terrible") and 2 carts getting filled. We were both getting flustered but all we could do was laugh. And of course Luke HAD to push the cart. There was no other option. Seriously, good advice: NEVER judge a mom until you have been there yourself. All the things I said I would never do, I do. My kid act like a brat in public? NO WAYYYY! But when your family depends on you to get toilet paper & tooth paste, you do what you have to do! Well, the pushing of the cart only last so long. He is a curious little boy with a lot of energy. He runs. Yes, I was picking up a thing of Tide & he is gone! I abandoned the cart. So what if it has my purse in it with my old as dirt phone and keys, my baby is irreplaceable! So here I am chasing Luke 2 aisles over. Ash is left with Liv, 2 carts, 2 diaper bags, 2 purses. And she was such a trooper, she tried so hard to push both carts at the same time as Livvy decides to not sit but stand the whole time. I wish I could say this only happened once in the next hour but I would be lying. We got out of there asap! Ashley, I would just like to thank you for putting up with my crazy coupon ass & son hitting the prime terrible 2s stage. I saved $20 dollars today. But, I think I'm going to pay someone $20 to watch Luke the next time I need to go shopping. We are supposed to go grocery shopping in the morning. I think I'll pass.
