Dear Internet
Jun. 1st, 2010 09:01 pmYesterday I gave my dear husband a choice...
go to the grocery store with Miriam who initially didn't want to take a nap but then ate and fell asleep just before they left (he tucked her into the car seat and took her along) and a well thought out, very specific list and buy groceries for the week or clean toilets.
He chose the grocery store.
Imagine my surprise when I went to prepare tonight's dinner and one of the ingredients was missing. One of the ingredients that had been on yesterday's grocery list. This is of course after a second trip to the store to get the things that I noticed had been forgotten while unpacking the groceries yesterday.
Would someone explain to me what the point of a well thought out, totally organized list is? I broke the whole thing down...deli, meat, canned goods, dairy, produce and even organized it in the order that one would travel through the store-and I know the path he takes through the store.
So how is it that every week when he does the shopping, something important on the list gets forgotten? Even when it's something we buy every week like bananas (gotta support Naomi's one banana a day habit at least until she's out of diapers.) It doesn't seem to happen when I have a list and do the shopping (sometimes when I shop without a list it does happen, but shopping without a list is different.)
Signed...

P.S. In much happier news, Miriam is officially a sitting up baby. I'll try and get some pictures soon cause all that baby chub sitting up is kind of cute.
