Heard in My House This Morning . . .

"Mommy, I don't want to get up."

"Neither do I, Daddy."

"Wait . . . we have to get up, we're the parents."

Some weekends I really miss being able to sleep in.

Copy Cat

We keep a few things that we don't use very often on top of our kitchen cabinets. I usually use a stool to get to these items, but this past Friday I was in a hurry and just decided to climb up onto the counter and then stand on the counter to reach the item.

Today in the kitchen, while I was cleaning up after lunch, I happen to turn around just in time to see Addison trying to climb up on the counter of her toy kitchen. I told her to get down and she said "mommy do it." And that is when I remembered that I had done the same thing a few days ago.

I am continually learning I have to be careful about what I say and do around Addison.

Walmart No More

I normally do my grocery shopping at Kroger. But yesterday I was out running some other errands and on my way home I knew I would pass by Super Walmart. In my mind I thought this was great, because I assumed groceries would be cheaper at Walmart then they are at Kroger. I WAS WRONG!!! Milk at Kroger is $2.99, milk at Walmart was $3.38 (and yes I get the cheapest brand they have at both places.) I can't remember the exact prices for everything else, but I do remember that cheese, bread, drinks, spaghetti sauce, meat, etc. were all more expensive at Walmart.

Not only was my trip to Walmart more expensive, it also took a lot longer. I didn't know where anything was and there were so many people. When I finally did get everything, the lines to check out were crazy long.

No more Walmart grocery shopping for me.
