I took advantage of Lance working from home yesterday to do my big Costco trip without the accompanying "he touched me" or sippy cup throwing that comes like a package deal with my two kids. I was sort of on a timeline since I wanted to be back before they woke up, so that Lance wouldn't be interrupted from his work. But, I also sort of had time to peruse. And did I peruse!
I started in the dry foods section and had at least five items in my buggy (yes, it's a buggy, not a shopping cart - I'm from the south, people!) before I even got to the main reason for the trip - produce, dairy and meat. I need MORE snack options. Ooohhh, look. There's fruit leather. That will be good for the kids. Oh wait, dried apricots without sugar added? Excellent choice! CRAISINS will make a nice change of pace from the raisins! Apparently I am afraid that we are going to run out of dried fruit! And am also trying to give my kids the shits...although I will say that it made it easier this morning to convince Morgan to try to eat oatmeal when she had all these "goodies" to put in there.
So, I spent probably at least $30 more than I normally would have if I'd had the kids there with me. It's a total survival mission when they are with me. Get in and get out. Only the essentials. Maybe that's not such a bad thing.

My friends from NYC say wagon. They think that I'm cracked when I say cart ;)

Heh, it is a little bit easier with just one. I stick her (kicking and screaming) into the cart (I'm a native Californian) and shove some of the taster food at her. She is happy and I get to peruse. As long as she gets her usual book out of the deal all is good with the world. Tonya
Doesn't ANYONE else call it a buggy? C'mon, can't I get some love??
A buggy is something british kids ride in.
