Today was one of those days where I never got past number one on my list.?? Good day really but I find myself sitting here not feeling like making the french toast, eggs, and sugar peppered bacon that I promised for dinner.?? Speaking of making dinners…<\/p>\n

Recently while grocery shopping, I ran into a long time friend who I hadn’t seen in quite some time.?? He scanned my goods (both carts) and said “Tell me you are shopping for a month!”<\/p>\n

“Uh no…this is a week.”<\/p>\n

“A WEEK??? Doni!?? You have four different types of bread – three bags of chips….a week???”<\/p>\n

I will tell you what I told him.<\/p>\n

I COOK!?? I COOK DINNER!?? I COOK LUNCH AND BREAKFAST!!!?? And yes, I do admit that I caved and did exactly what I swore I would never ever do when I regularly cook separate meals for the kids BUT I didn’t predict when I was doing the self righteous “I will be a great parent” thing that one of my kids would have SPD and have very strong aversions to a lot of different food groups.???? And I do have explanations for the bread and chips deal too…really…I do! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

On the menu this week is Potato Cheese Soup (Heidi I combine your recipe and mine) with cornbread, Spaghetti and French Bread, Taco night, Subs and Chips, Hamburgers and Baked Beans, BBQ Chicken and Zuchinni Spears, and the “breakfast for dinner” that I described above.?????? Am I sounding really defensive over my grocery cartS??? :)???? Seriously now…you all gotta stop commenting to all the poor mamas with mac truck carts in Walmart.?? We don’t WANT to spend all this money and we don’t WANT to skin the back of our heels with the second cart we are dragging and we don’t WANT to drop a case of water off the bottom of the cart and stop the traffic flow trying to reload and hold two carts with a baby on the hip (yes this happened in the parking lot and everyone watched my dilemma and didn’t help me sheeeeshhh).<\/p>\n

Furthermore, we don’t want to discuss our bill with the checkout woman nor respond to the “wow you must have a really large family” comments.?? We don’t want to discuss the party it seems we are having and we don’t want to watch you inspect our cart checking on the nutritional value of the contents therein.???? Aaaaahhhhhh!?? Can I hear an AMEN from anybody on this or are all of you sitting back in your chairs wondering how on earth I manage to pack out two carts regularly??? Just don’t say it okay – don’t say it.?? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Next time I need to take my own mama.?? She drug two carts for years and a professional mother of five might just give all my cart inspectors a look that will make them rethink their position.?? She is experienced at delivering a good come “uppance” when it’s necessary and she makes no apology.?? That settles it.?? Mom definitely needs to shop with me.?? We are going to have to double team this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Not sure what is cuter.?? Her expression or her girly feet thing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here’s the thing.?? First it was fun.?? Then it was hilariously good times with Daddy swinging her and all.?? Then she realized she was stuck suspended in air and mama wasn’t letting her down.?? Then she got mad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
