I got 31 points for playing the word "shit" in words with friends today. I giggled like a 10 year old over it.

I'm trying to decide when the best time to grocery shop is. Today after DD goes to bed? Tomorrow after work? Saturday morning at the the crack of dawn?

I hate grocery shopping this time of year

A friend of mine says that she usually orders her groceries over the phone and pays for them to be delivered the week of christmas. It almost seems worth it.

I need to go out and get stocking stuffer stuff. I wait til the last minute to get that stuff because I like to.
But my darling son has given me a massive cold, and the pressure in my face is so intense my teeth even ache. I have to go tonight though. We're suppose to have nasty weather hit tomorrow and I dont want to deal with the crazy crowds Sunday or Monday :\

I know. It's going to be insane. Some stores around here do an online ordering thing where all you have to do is pick them up at the door, but they're too far out of the way for it to be worth it for me. I just herd an ad for a super sale at the grocery store I usually go to starting at 6:00 am tomorrow, so that kind of makes me want to go tonight to avoid the crowd. Plus the weather is supposed to be really crappy tonight so I wonder of that will keep people away, or bring them in to get it done before tomorrow.

I plan to grocery shop early tomorrow morning and I'm hoping it's not insane!

DD has her first real fever. She is just so wimpy and glazed over, I hate it. And of course my mom drove into town tonight for the weekend to watch her so I could go with DH to his Christmas party. Now I don't even know that I'm going to go! She is down for another nap (definitely a clue she doesn't feel well) and I'm going to decide when she wakes up. I'm toying with the idea of just staying in and hanging out with my mom and DD. The 40 MPH winds aren't making me want to go out either!

Our local grocery store has an "eCart" option which is free the first few times you use it. I'm totally going to use it.

LOL. This! I was just having this conversation in my head too and partially out loud to H.
I think I'm going early, early in the morning. Rubes is up by 5:45 anyways, I'll do my chores early because it's too cold to take her out and then maybe we'll head out so I have the rest of the day to clean.
Then the conversation on my lunch break was about what I could get done then so I wouldn't have to do it with toddler in tow (lunch break stop at the liquor store! Woo!).

I did cheat a bit though. I had the UPS man via my friends at Amazon bring me stuff so I wouldn't have to do Target or make room for that junk in my cart. I felt like an idiot ordering dishsoap, extra bar soap, toothbrushes, toilet paper and dishwasher detergent, but man I need it for the parties and it saved me so much time.

I just found out today (!!) that I get 2.5 weeks off. Starting tomorrow. Whoop!

(Admittedly, this does sucktastic things to my paycheck, but how exciting to get things done around the house/nap a lot)

I went to Walmart today and forgot stuff so now I gotta go back plus I gotta run around getting my parents gift still and I work everyday until Christmas today was my day off and I was snowed in with no power

I went to the smallest grocery store in town today (closest to my house) and I took 2 children and 2 manchildren with me. We walked out with the milk, cereal, chicken breasts, capri sun and soda we needed but also added in there 2 summer sausage sticks, a box of store brand Ritz crackers, some cookie mix, 2 different kinds of block cheese, Method spray (I needed it, just didn't realize the tiny store carried it!) and 2 additional boxes of cereal. I think the best time to hit up the store is first thing in the morning. Loved being on maternity leave because I'd drop off Monkey at school and then head straight to the grocery store. I only had to navigate around a few old people reading labels while holding the jars either super close to their face or at the end of their arm span while standing 3 feet from their cart, essentially blocking the entire aisle.
