Grocery Shopping with NO kids.........

it's just, well, it's bliss isn't it??? I love my kids to death and there's nothing I love more than spending time with them, but when it comes to things like running errands and getting groceries, I'm much happier with them at home with daddy.

So today I had to get groceries and the kiddos stayed with daddy, I was able to actually walk through the Commissary and not run yelling at the top of my lungs, like a psycho, desperately trying to catch them. I remember the one time I had just Nicholas with me, I was at the Produce section and turned for a second to grab some bananas (big mistake), I turn around and see him grab an apple and bring it to his mouth. It was like slow motion, I dropped the bananas and in a matrix like move, literally jumped through the air and made it just in time before he took a bite.
He looked at me and said "HEYYYY, I'm hungry". (Yeah I wasn't born yesterday, he was NOT hungry).

I got my groceries for 2 weeks and it only came up to $188, pretty darn good if you ask me. I must say I was a bit surprised because I got some roasts and ribs etc, not cheap stuff. But who am I to complain right???

I'm glad you all enjoyed the Designated Willy Shaker thing LOL
Seriously, it's one of my job descriptions in this house..... now all you single women with no kids, aren't you looking forward to this????
All kidding aside though, I think that even though I may joke about these things, I wouldn't trade it for any other job in the world, it's the most rewarding thing in my life. :)

I managed to get all my housework done yesterday so I have NOTHING to do today, YAY. Not that I would want to anyway, it's extremely hot outside, it's over 100 degrees and even though I have my AC going in the house, you can still feel the heat.

BTW hubby and I finally got the backyard semi-finished, I guess that will be my project to show for on tuesday's "Tackle it Tuesday". I keep looking around the house for something to tackle but I can't find anything, either my house is finally organized, or I'm living in denial and blind to the mess?!?!?! Not sure which, but I'm hoping it's the first one LOL

Remember the new Pug we got?? The one we adopted??? Well she's definately part of the family and she gets along great with Lola. The kids took a picture of me and her yesterday so I'm sharing it with you all. Just please, remember that I HATE taking my picture for ANYTHING, even just messing around. I just don't have a close relationship with my camera.

I think the main reason is because I'm a bit of a dork at times. Yes I say that with all the love I have for myself LOL
Here's an example, the other night I was trying to take a photo of me and Nicholas together, and I was holding the camera up facing us.....I would press the button and it would turn off. I would turn it back on, face it towards us and press it again and it would go off again. It must have done this about 5 times and I was getting really frustrated. (See the camera really hates me, it won't even take my picture). To my surprise though, after these 5 times of turning off, I finally realized that it was ME messing up, because I kept pushing the power button instead of the one to take the photo LOL Good grief Sandra!!!

So anyway, I'm going to head on out and hang out with the kids and hubby, do some sewing or watch a movie. I hope you're all having a great weekend.

God Bless,
