I really do hate grocery shopping. Is that weird? I dread it. Every time I start seeing us getting low on an essential item; like milk I start getting anxious.
Here are some reasons I thought of that may have to do with my hate for grocery shopping:
- Having to take my two sons with me who will most likely be throwing a tantrum at any moment.
- Having to search for a cart that has the little car on front so that I don't have to pile food on top of Brigham as he sits in the back.
- Having to walk by all the yummy food and forcing myself to say no.
- Giving in to the yummy food and then having to explain to Cameron why I bought those dang sugar cookies with an inch of frosting on the top.
- Eating the sugar cookies and watching that inch of frosting go right on the side of my thighs.
- Wanting to buy the good brand because sometimes it really does taste better than the store brand but not being able to justify spending more, even if it is only 3 cents (exception on this is ice cream...it's not worth buying unless its the good stuff, right Darci?)
- Knowing that with all that I am buying I will have nothing to make dinner with.
- Going through the checkout feeling guilty because the guy behind me with two items doesn't know I'm about to split my food up into three different orders (Family food, WIC, and YW stuff)
- Bringing the cart back even though I really don't want to.
- Bringing the groceries in and putting them away.
- Getting home and realizing all the things I forgot, despite my list.

I agree with everything on this post! I finally got to the point where not only do I have to make a grocery list, but I also have to make a list of things I can make for dinner with said groceries. I have to put the list on the fridge so when I start wondering what I'm going to make for dinner I have something to turn to!
I hate grocery shopping as well. Mykah seems to always have a tantrum when we are at my fav. place WalMart, I really hate it when all the scary people with the cut off shorts and sleeveless T-shirts are looking at me like (that teenage mother has no control over her two elgitimate children.)I am with you....I Hate Buying Groceries.
P.S. I am not into the creative backgrounds either. I just thought who am I fooling, I am not a crafty person, and will never be.
I don't mind grocery shopping too much, but I have learned not to bring my husband. Everything I pick up he tells me that we don't need it. I totally agree with the ice cream thing, just not worth it if it isn't the good stuff. I miss you!!
Kindi won't let me go by myself...I just buy cookies and mt dew.
