How I roll Saturday’s
“How I roll?”. First, everything was WICKED AWESOME. Now its all “how I roll”. I blame Daddy Joe. He always like ” DUDE” and “SHUT UP!” and for sure this has rubbed off on me. For sure.
LAME!
So, this morning Ben let me sleep in until 10, bless him. When I came down, he was making pancakes for the kids and we all had breakfast together. Then…. off to grocery shop for me. I had been putting it off for way too long. Couldn’t make myself do it. Hate doing it with the kids. So off I go….into the mayhem that is Saturday shopping…. on a warm day. FUN! Spent about an and a half in Costco….. oh yeah… I rocked that joint. Swung by the butcher…. (Down to Earth Mama was in the house) then over to the normal grocery store for tortillas (which, as luck would have it were not at the other two places). So, 3 hours after I had left, I returned $265 poorer, but may have enough food to last a month (minus milk etc.), Which is good, because did I tell you how much I HATE grocery shopping?
Spent the rest of the day cleaning the house. Oh my, how did it ever get so bad? I would like to say, “now that it is done, it will be so much easier.” but no. Not living with the DESTROYER. It is like he is a toddler ‘zilla, knocking over all in his path. Throwing cups behind the couch with abandon. Couch pillows moved to become a jungle gym. And, on a whim, deciding the best place to keep his toothbrush is under the bathroom scale.
The original preschooler ‘zilla isn’t much better. Her new thing is to keep trash. I kid you not. If we finish something and there is an empty cereal box (for example), she wants to keep it. I don’t give into this, but still, she says that she wants to keep it. Weird. So, occasionally, I find her picking picking out the scraps of coupons I have cut and putting them on the fridge with a magnet.
So, again. Hopefully I will be able to keep up, and employ their help, but I am not holding my breath.
Finally got it clean before the neighbors arrived for a dinner. We had a nice dinner and got to talk quite a bit. It is nice talking to other adults for a change. Sometimes I forget what that is like for any extended period of time. It is nice to get to know them a bit better.
Cleaning and grocerying. That is how I spend my Saturday’s! I know you are jealous. But we can’t all be the Down to Earth Mama.

DUDE! Shut up! My 3rd grade speak got me a byline!
Wait, was that sarcasm?
Sounds like you had a busy Saturday. Hope you can chill out today.

oops, I keep empty cereal boxes because it seems such a shame to waste good cardboard that might come in handy for something.. Maybe you have an artist in the making and she wants to construct giant robots/cities/something from the boxes…
I am with you on the shopping thing as well..
cheers Kim

I’m pretty sure we have the same toddler. Ours goes back and forth between the Tasmanian Toddler and Bipolar Molar boy. He destroys everything in his path. Fun day of shopping, eh? I hate the grocery store too, I usually go late at night after the kids are in bed and the place is empty.
