An Observation

Here is my question...how was shopping possible before kids? Obviously, it was more leisurely. However, there was no stroller. How do you shop without a stroller? The basket underneath is absolutely essential for holding packages. Did I really carry my own purse? (It too belongs in the stroller!) My parents watched my kids for me so I could do some shopping awhile ago, and my arms were seriously about to fall off my body from toting packages and my purse through the mall! Plus what do you do with all that stuff while you are trying to look through a rack of clothes? Well, it was a lot of work but I had so much to do it was a blessing that my parents watched the kids so I could get things done. I may have missed the stroller, but I did not miss the impatient screaming and kicking that would have been going on inside of it!
