Today marks day one of John’s crazy schedule. John works 6:30-3ish Monday-Friday and takes evening classes on Monday in Reston, VA and on Thursday in Lanham, Maryland. In addition to this, he is taking one course online to speed up the process of graduating in January. With the times he isn’t in class, he is studying or working out. We had a lame tradition that we eat dinner at Wegman’s (grocery store for all you who don’t live on the east coast) and later goes grocery shopping as a family. This will be my first Monday evening grocery shopping alone with a toddler. I made a pros and cons list to this whole experience of grocery shopping.
CONS:
1) Have to lift the heavy items alone.
2) Remember everything that I seem to forget on my own list.
3) Handle a toddler who only screams when I am at a stop with the cart.
4) Can’t rush through the aisles while John is off to the side waiting patiently with Isaiah.
PROS:
1) Won’t hear “we don’t need that.”
2) Reminding me how bad and fattening some things are.
3) Reminding me I need to be supportive of his diet.
4) Hear a loud extended sigh that only embarrasses me publicly when I am being a scatterbrain in the warzone at Wegman’s.
