...grocery store day

today is grocery store day.

 

i only go to the grocery every other friday.

i go to three different stores.

it takes planning, but so worth it for many reasons.

 

last night i started stressing.

my lists were not in order - i might be anal or efficient, you can decide.

bo christian wanted lots of attention from only me.

spelling words still needed to be studied.

then i realized the real kicker.

i had scheduled doctor appointments for bronson and connor at noon today.

 

how in the world???

the baby would need at least a morning nap!

but, i got it all figured out.

you know, since i am efficient and all.

 

since i am thinking thankful thoughts this month
i realized how thankful i am for my grocery store day.

i can't imagine my husband going to work hungry.

or one of my boys ever being hungry.

i can't even think of too many meals that i have missed.

sometimes i don't feel like driving to the grocery
and pushing my baby around in a cart
to gather all our food.

there are women who have to carry a baby on their back
while balancing a bucket on their head and walk miles
just to get sort of clean water for their families.
 

and sometimes i don't want to eat what i have bought.

there are women who just wish for plain rice for their families.

i should be embarrassed.

i am thankful for my grocery store day.
