What's for dinner?

some days it just seems like an exorbitant amount of effort to load the happily playing baby in the car seat, lug rhino size baby to the car with one hand and purse/keys etc in the other hand, power lift the little monster into the car seat base, turn on happy song on the car toy before he realizes where he is, get myself into the car, drive to the grocery store, unload heavy child in car seat and carry to the cart area, another power lift to get car seat situated on cart, walk to the ONE item you need for dinner, walk to check out, keep baby happy while cart has stopped moving, pay for the ONE thing I forgot we needed to make my dinner plans work, walk back out to the car, juggle car seat into base, put grocery bag and purse in car, put cart away, get back into the car, crap forgot the music, turn on happy toy music, drive home, grab purse/grocery bag/keys in one hand wrestle car seat out of base and waddle quickly to door, set down overly heavy child, close garage door with one hand unlock door with the other, last burst of energy used to lift car seat, push open door with foot, shove past animals and relieve my aching back of the baby rhino who may now go back to his natural habitat. All that for ONE thing at the grocery store...let's just order take out! :)
