I should know by now

I really should. I should know if I want to actually go to the store and look around/browse and make a couple of other stops along the way that my eldest daughter will decide to nap on the drive.

I should know by now that if I don't think I will have time to crochet or read at all so why take it with me that I should for sure pack those things into the car.

I should know by now that waking Morgan up before she is finished with her nap is just asking for tantrums for pretty much the rest of the day.

I should know by now if Morgan refuses to sit on the potty after a nap that she will end up peeing in some inappropriate place (like the stool at the library).

I should know by now to make sure that the diaper bag has an ample supply of Kenna (cloth)diapers before I leave the house because she will of course need to be changed.

I should know by now that the emergency diapers in the van are pretty much too small for her.

I should know by now to never attempt to change a disposable diaper that is on Kenna any place besides a bathroom because poop will inevitably be all over her entire body.

I should know by now that you can't find parking close to anywhere you want to be in downtown Lexington.

I should know by now that a blue sky and sunshine does not mean that it is warm outside.

I should know by now that my jacket on top of Morgan will not be thick enough to stifle the yells of "It's cold, Momma." (especially after not completing a nap).

I should know by now that the books I'm going all the way to the downtown branch of the library to pick-up will not be there for me to get.

I should know by now if it crosses my mind that I don't really want to try to do my errands by myself because it will not be a relaxing browse that I should ask Michael to go with me or ask him to keep the kids.

I should know by now that Michael is wonderful and loves me because as soon as I walked in the door after this "should-a-known" day he took the girls and left me home alone.
