Nothing like grocery shopping to wear out two little boys. I really enjoyed this trip, the boys got along, nobody started screaming, and I was able to get everything on the list. Even with a few extra's we still came in the lowest I have spent in weeks. Yippie, the hubs will be happy. Sure I still need to pick up a few things at Costco, but that is a whole other story. We don't need to worry about that right now.
I do feel bad though, I thought my toddler had enough to eat for lunch, until we get into the store and he starts screaming for chips, like he hasn't eaten in days. Luckily enough, I was in the produce section and was able to give him an apple from a bag of mini Gala's. He was content the rest of the trip. He also ate the whole thing, I can't believe how much he polished off. Good for him, peel and all.
If you have lived in a large city your whole life, like New York, and have never had the joy of driving to a super sized grocery store, I feel sorry for you. We take it for grated, but they have everything right there. They also stock so much new and different stuff. Plus you get all sorts of variety. You can get all your shopping done in a matter of minutes really.
Plus you also get to miss the chance to park next to strangers that park too close to your car, or maybe that you keep pumping into in the store, only to have them park right next to you and you leave at the same time, and then you get to inadvertently cut them off in the parking lot. And then you worry about them following you home and stalking you. Watching you through your bedroom windows waiting to ponce, all because you were an ass in the grocery store. Not that I have ever heard of that happening. Or maybe have someone leave a empty cart right behind your car, when the cart rail is two stalls down. Or better yet, leave a dent in your car. That is always fun.
I also got everything put away. Now if I can just find the energy to clean the kitchen and put the folded laundry away that has been sitting out for days. While my two little sleeping angels rest, before they wake up as screaming terrors.
I really wished my scale worked, we got it super cheap, and one day you weigh 275, the next 230, then back to 260, never the same. I have a feeling I have lost some weight, mind you not a whole lot, but some, and if it is just from getting better foods and no junk, then I will be extra happy. Because if I can get back on track working out, then maybe the weight will fly off, and I will be one hot sexy Mamma again, man it has been years.
You can do it! the working out part. And the stalking you home made me laugh because I totally think about that sometimes and it was just so random.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry our trip made you feel back into old habits. Next time let's make statues of our fruit, that would be super fun and i've always wanted to try it
