I will survive!

Today was grocery day. Mom usually helps me with groceries and she woke up feeling sick and coughing. She had to stay home and that left me with my first grocery day with all three kids alone. I strapped Addison to my chest with my Snugli and put Anthony in the cart in his car seat. Amazingly, I survived the trip and I started singing I will survive to myself making Victoria laugh. I decided to do some work on that song to fit my situation today. So here it is my first attempt at song lyrics. Read or sing if the mood hits you to the tune of "I will survive"


At first I was afraid, I was petrified
kept thinking I could not get groceries with 3 by my side
and I spent so many nights thinking how things could go wrong
but I grew strong, I knew I'd have to go alone

Oh Lord my back I need more space
There needs to be more seats on this cart so I can navigate this place
I need pot roast for my crock(pot)
I need corn and beans and peas
I need Victoria to calm down and STAY BY THE CART PLEASE!!!!

Oh now no, here comes some more,
questions from some people that it'd be rude to ignore
" YES they are twins and she weighed three fourteen him five"
You'd think I'd crumble, you'd think I'd lay down and die

Oh no not I , I will survive
I have one baby in a backpack, thinking that would work fine
but I am at my wits end, Oh, I should of called a friend
But I will survive I will survive.... Hey hey

It took all the strength I had, not to fall apart
finding places to put groceries in my "family cart"
And I'm spending so much money buying junk food for myself
I am getting wide just take a look at my thighs

And now here's me, coming unglued
I only brought one pacifier when I KNOW that I need two
Now I see it's sample day, they're giving food away for free
This means I don't have to rush home to make lunch "Oh yea for me!!"

Go on now GO, Were now at home
groceries away now and I am passed out on the floor.
I can't believe that I did it I am filled with so much pride
I didn't crumble so I hold my head up high

Oh yes I, I did survive
as long as there is nap time I can make it through tonight
I've got all my life to live Ive got all my love to give
I will survive I will survive Hey hey
