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!

Just a little weekend get-a-way...

in P U E R T O R I C O !!! So Rick (along with his other teammates) received a reward trip from work to vacation in Puerto Rico for 4 days! Since I constitute his other half I got to cash in on the reward. So we spent a 4-day weekend get-a-way at a huge resort on the coast of Puerto Rico without the kiddos (thanks mom for flying in to care for them while we were away:). It was fantastic! We stayed at El Conquistador Resort , which was situated on a sloping hill facing the beautiful Caribbean ocean. Our room was right there in the middle (2nd floor) and our balcony opened up to a view of the blue blue sea. That little island you see out there in the distance is Palomino Island . That's where the beach was located and we had to ride the ferry out there to play in the sand and get some sun (unless we wanted to lounge around the pool, but I'm more for the authentic beach feel). Approaching Palomino Island on the ferry. Cute ain't it? We took the El Yunque Rain Forest tou...

I'm Tired

This is the theme of today. (And this picture describes perfectly how I feel.) Not only is Sawyer still waking up ever couple hours in the night, but Chase had the stomach flu last night and was throwing up big time. I know I got up with him at least 3 separate times when he had to puke. I know what you're thinking, where is Rick? Well, he hurt his back a few days ago and hasn't been able to get around very well, let alone bend over a puking child, so he wasn't able to help. I seriously felt like I was going between nursing baby and puking child all night long. And then Rick wakes up at 5:30 to get ready for school just after I got the baby to sleep and wakes him up! Ahhh! I didn't know whether to scream or just start crying. So he takes Sawyer upstairs and puts him in the swing (which always puts him out) and then Chase comes and crawls in bed with me and then Amelie wakes up because she can hear movement in the house and is upset that Chase isn't in his be...

Chase said the funniest thing...

Chase just said the funniest thing, so I had to write it down somewhere. He's watching an old Looney Tunes DVD that we checked out from the library. You know, the classic Bugs Bunny, and Tweety Bird and stuff. Anyway, there's a part on there where this bad guy is trying to kill Bugs Bunny and he keeps saying "shut up". Rick and I picked up on this and looked at each other, not sure whether to turn it off or let it go. So Rick decides to do the following. He says, "Hey Chase, I don't like this movie. They're saying bad things. How about we watch a different one. Like Transformers (the cartoon version)." Chase's response: "Daddy, how about you go work in your car if you don't like this movie so I can stay in here and watch it." Hahahaha! I'm cracking up. Rick and I looked at each other and figured that was a pretty good answer.
