Triples is disappointing....

I guess it defeats the purpose of triples to hire a babysitter so I can go shopping. I took my kids with me yesterday (because I had to) and it is just not fun to go shopping with a toddler and an infant screaming and taking up all the room in the cart. I ended up getting a few things I didn't need to and forgetting to put stuff back that I decided I wouldn't get on this trip. I spent more OOP than I had planned, but still got some OK deals.

Well today I figure I will wake up at the crack of dawn and go do my shopping before DH has to leave for work and my kids are still asleep. WRONG! Both kids woke up super early crying and coughing and sounding miserable. DD has been sick for a couple of days but today she sounded horrible. DS had not been sick and started showing symptoms of something today. So, instead of getting to go shopping I get to take 2 cranky sick babies to the pediatrician's office super early (OK leaving the house at 8am is super early for me considering me and the babies don't get up till 9am usually).

Turns out DS has croup and an ear infection and DD just has a cold even though it sounds worse. So, no triples for me today.

On a happier note, when I was at CVS last night, the two teenage boys behind the register were taking bets as to how much my OOP was. One bet no more than $3.50 and the other bet no more than $2.50. I laughed and told them I would be really disappointed if it were that high! Yeah then they said I was "A Bargain shopper from hell" so I don't know if that is a good or bad thing.
