I hate grocery shopping

(I wrote this a week ago and forgot to post it)

Is there someone that actually likes grocery shopping? Maybe but I've never met anyone that has admitted it.

It takes so long.

Gives me a headache looking at all the prices and brands and nutrition labels.

It's summer and I'm freezing cuz it's so cold in there.

And then when your cart is overflowing you gotta unload everything onto a conveyor belt.

Then you have to hide your shock when they read the final price cuz you had no idea you'd spent that much. And at that point it's too late to figure out what to put back.

And THEN after all that? You gotta get it into the car, and then take it into the house, and THEN put it ALL away! I'm just sitting in the car right now exhausted trying to get some energy back to do the next part.

I just hate it. I think from now on I'll look into online grocery shopping. I hear its the new thing.

By the way, just look at the price difference here! There's a reason for that, and it's not brand.

This is me not wanting to go home and put it all away.

I don't mind grocery shopping. Often I have to rest (after putting the freezer items away) before I can put the other groceries away, but I think it's a fun job. The butter in your area is expensive, but far better for your body than that 99 cent margarine.

I laughed so hard when I read this post, I had tears streaming down my cheeks!! I can sooooo relate! This MUST be my daughter. Men do NOT realize how much work it is to do the grocery shopping!
I used to just daydream about all the furniture, wallpaper, curtains and other things I could spend all that money on, that would be so much more FUN!

To sum it up

To sum up the last 9 months... We went to Disney World and Universal in March with Rick’s family. It was a BLAST! Favorite part was Harry Potter world. Favorite ride was Rockin’ Roller coaster, or Hogwarts castle, or the Avatar ride. Rick and I coached track March-May. It was fun but stressful. I like doing something for the community. I don’t like running a program w my husband and not enough adult help. Kids finished school in May and we went on a camping trip Memorial weekend to St Joe State Park with our favorite people, Richardsons. Some other ward families came too. Marcellino’s and Smith’s. Summer hit, Soleil got baptized, and Rick got a job offer to work for Cricut in Utah. Finally a job closer to family! We spent three very stressful weeks prepping our house for sale and then took off to Utah driving both our cars on July 13th. The following week we vacationed in Lake Powell with my family. After coming home from that we settled into Heather’s basement ...

2019 is my year to Be Prepared

Last year I decided to make a goal that involved one phrase, no guilt. That phrase stuck in my mind all year long, and guided me through a lot of situations. I found by the end of the year, that I really had changed because of those two words. In all the years past that I have set goals, I have set very specific reachable things. I always find that a few months into the year my motivation drops off and I don’t follow through with the goal. By the end of the year I either feel disappointed in myself, or I can’t even remember what my goal was to begin with. Last year was different in a very good way. So I’ve decided to do the same thing this year. After pondering and praying about what my goal should be this year, I came up with the phrase be prepared. There are so many ways to be prepared in life, spiritually, physically, temporarily, etc. I find that a lot of my stress on a daily basis could be remedied if I had only spent a little time before hand to prepare for that moment for that s...

Golf date

We went on a group date Friday night with our best friends here in St Louis, Wilson’s and Richardson’s. We went to a new place in Chesterfield called Top Golf. We ate yummy food and visited while we hit golf balls off a platform. It was the first time I had ever hit golf balls in a real way, aside from miniature golf. It was harder than it looks. Everyone had fun and I came home sore.
