I hear it calling me again. Although my cupboards are full and the church is calling for a partial fast, the grocery store continues to beckon. It's those little things I run out of that trip me up and cause me once again to stumble into the "grocery store trap". Once I am inside with a cart in front of me, I can not seem to keep myself from filling it with various items we probably do not need. I think this is likely a residual effect of having raised seven children. I can not possibly buy just one or two loaves of bread, I must have at least four. The cereal aisle can not be passed by without tossing a box or two into my cart. Milk? Oh please let me take at least three gallons, I wouldn't want to have to come back in a few days! And what ever would we do if we were to run out of canned vegetables or spaghetti sauce? Never mind that there is no more room in the cupboard. Crackers! Can one ever have too many crackers? After all, Josh might come over. No, I must not enter the grocery store under any circumstances tomorrow. Yes, I am out of butter... Maybe James can bring some home... No, I'd better not do that. He has his own grocery store issues. He can not possibly leave the grocery store without a bag of chips or a half gallon of ice cream... Then again I can not possibly leave the grocery store without a cartful of groceries... What ever shall I do?PS. Advice from Mom, always carry a camera in your purse. You never know when you might need it.
:P You're too funny. Here I come Mommy!
ReplyDeleteFunny! I know what you mean about the extras. I have the same problem. I went for some chicken, milk, bead, and eggs tonight, and ended up getting a small bag of frozen shrimp for news years eve and a half gallon of ice cream.
ReplyDeleteYou are funny! I try to avoid grocery stores unless I have a full stomach and a list.
ReplyDeleteI love your new blog header photo!
ReplyDeleteWhy is Bethany coming over? I get so confused. I go with a list, I get the list, I get more than the list. I found if I just go on the isles that the list stuff is on I fair better. :D
ReplyDeleteYes, even a family of five can run out of things very quickly.
ReplyDeleteBethany goes to worship practice at church on Tuesday evenings while Adam is at his class. I watch Josh for her so that is why she was coming over. (It all keeps me confused too, especially on holiday weeks when I have a tendancy to forget what day it is.)
ReplyDeleteWhat is a list? hahaha
It's just how it is..... says she who just this afternoon went in the store for just milk (3 gallons) and also came out with bread (2 loaves, of course, I think we were out!), crackers (they were on sale, and I'll need them New Year's Eve), and donuts (well, er, we were on the way home from my mom's and we still had quite a ways to go!)
ReplyDeleteJamie is much better than I abut sticking to the list.
ReplyDeleteToo cute!
