Have you ever had a day where all you planned to do was run one errand, and then somehow it was night and you had been out all day? My mom, Carrie and I were just going to one of the (not so) local yarn shops to pick up three little ladybug buttons I had ordered for Carrie’s ladybug sweater. Of course, I bought more than the buttons: two pattern books and one skein of yarn to swatch.
By then it was lunchtime, so we went out for lunch, and Denis met us there.
We decided to send Carrie home with Denis so we could run a couple more small errands – Babies ‘R’ Us and JoAnn’s. My mom needed a shower gift and I needed yellow thread.
When all was said and done, we had to bring dinner home since we were out so late! And I now have the patterns, fabric and notions to make two sets of pajamas and a Christmas dress for Carrie, patterns for clothes for her doll, a set of kids Thanksgiving dinnerware, and a Christmas gift for Carrie. I did feel a little guilty for abandoning Carrie and Denis for much of the day, but it was a lot of fun to go shopping without leaving a trail of goldfish crackers and hearing comments about my shrieking daughter everywhere I went.
