Tired and Grumpy

I can totally understand why new parents disappear for a few months and suddenly reappear with a little crawling baby. It is such a pain the @$$ to get the kids ready and out the frickin door. Then, when you're out you have to worry about them eating and having to change their diapers. The mall isn't exactly the best place to be doing these things. I mean, it can be done but sometimes its a real pain. We were at Oakridge for, like, 4 hours today - 1 hour of shopping and 3 hours of feeding, diaper changing, eating. Seems like such a waste of a day but I guess the other option is to stay at home and do all the same things. I guess Celia's just sick of the house. It's always difficult when you're with people and they are just taking their sweet ass time while you're sitting there trying to soothe 2 crying babies. Then they leave their bags hanging off the handles of the double-stroller so that when you're pushing it through a store the bags are catching on things and knocking things over. As if it wasn't wide enough. So they stick it in the little storage basket under the seat (which, by the way, is very nice in my stroller) but you can't access the basket when the seats are fully reclined which they have to be with newborns so now if they want their bag you have to remove the baby, raise the seat, remove bag, recline seat, settle baby back in the aforementioned seat, and then pray that the baby doesn't start crying again. Just carry your own damn bag like you would if there wasn't a stroller. Anyway, none of these things would normally bother me, I was just having a bad day.
