Good Intentions Pave the Road to... Winco?

So as you know my whole fam has been sick. Yesterday evening the kids seamed to rally. Jer is still ill though :P

So yesterday I looked out the window and thought "the lawn is REALLY long" maybe I'll mow it to help out Jer"... and also to appease my own anal retentiveness, cause (you guessed it) long grass bugs me. It bugs the lawn mower too, when it's really long quite often the mower tries to go on strike. I can't imagine the hissy that little brat would have thrown had we waited much longer to mow.

While in the process of mowing... I didn't realize that I forgot to go to Enrichment meeting. Grrr.

Anywho...

This morning I decided it was time to go to the grocery store... maybe it was the lack of milk, or was it the absence of bread, could it have been the fact that baby food was nowhere to be found? Maybe it was my kids complaints about me feeding them Ramen and Yellow Death (aka Kraft Mac N Cheese) that and the fact that they finally seam to be feeling a little better.

So after Li's nap I loaded us all into the truck (being careful not to let the little ones fly away in the crazy amount of wind we have today) and headed to Winco for a restock.

Man, I never realize how INSANE that place is on Fridays. I usually go earlier in the week. It was all I could do to keep Missy My and Goober from getting run over by arrant grocery carts. Trying to keep them from getting separated from me was difficult too seeing that they like to run ahead. I tried not to maim anyone as a pursued them but the carts left diagonally across the isle created an insane obstacle course that no mother with little children should be required to traverse. So after much pestering from me and much whining from them we finally had all we needed and headed to the checkout stand... and believe it or not, I didn't have to wait in line!!!!

Thank you for small blessings!
