Sometimes I need to buy a certain objects that I would have to leave the house and drive to a specific store other than the grocery store to buy. Sometimes I look these things up online to see how much I should expect it to cost, what the packaging looks like and do some quick comparison shopping.
Then I sit back and try to calculate when I could go run this very quick errand. I could go with Eliza and Calvin, but that is so involved. We have a very nice, tailored schedule at home that we could go on living without interrupting and we would be very happy. Leaving the house involves sock and shoe finding, snack packing, whining, car seat buckling, question answering, debating answers to said questions, fighting over the radio and many other annoyances.
Then I think about when I could possibly go without them and the answer is - after bedtime IF my husben is home and IF i'm not too tired (which I always am) and IF I am still reasonably dressed and then IF that store is still open.
Then I order it online and it arrives 2 days before I could have ever attempted to leave the house.

You know how people say we should prepare for marriage/motherhood while we are still single? This post has helped me realize I am so prepared. I already do this and I don't have three kids.
Amen. Amazon prime is a miracle.
