My mission for today was to get a potato grow bag and some seed potatoes. I was feeling overly ambitious. That or the glorious sunshine went to my head.
DD decided she wanted to bring her dolls pram with us, fine, if it gets us out of the house and her walking without the chorus of, "I'm tired," every 5 steps I am ok with it. I arrived at Wilkies and even managed to avoid the sweet shop aisle without a tantrum. I proceeded to get my grow bags (on sale! BOGOF!) and Gwen picked out some bubbles to play with when we got home. Feeling quite proud of myself at this point we got to the checkout line and had the worlds largest blow out tantrum when the cashier took Gwen's bubbles to scan them. We ended up sitting outside the shop for 30 minutes waiting for the darling to calm down, and in the end I carried a screaming and kicking child the 3/4 mile back to my house while pushing her blasted dolls pram loaded up with grow bags. FML!!
Still screeching when we got home it took another 20 minutes to calm her down at which point she fell promptly to sleep. So no seed potatoes. Or anything else I needed from the market. When she finally did wake up she flatly refused to go into town. I am so not arguing with her today. *sigh* Hopefully tomorrow will bring a more co-operative child. If not I may need to grow some Valium or Percocet in my garden. Anyone know of where I can buy seedlings?
