I knew there were going to be a few of them.
But, what surprised me was how many hiccups we have already had.
This "adventure" was supposed to start yesterday, and I guess in a way it did but can I get a do over?
What possessed me to even think we could swing by the grocery store on our way home after picking Giggles up from a birthday party and we would be "good to go".
I failed to recall that I have been away pretty much all weekend and was trying to squeeze grocery shopping/menu planning in with bathing many small children, homework & quality time with all of them.
Didn't work so well.
The grocery shopping excursion morphed into a quick "grab milk, something for dinner and fruit and get out of here" trip.
I do not recommend going into the grocery store without a plan.
Seriously.
After wandering up and down the isles aimlessly trying to find something that we wanted to eat.
Much to my dismay we ended up throwing in a box of frozen fish sticks along with a bag of frozen fries.
Epic fail and we haven't even started!
This morning wasn't any better.
My children Opted for the cinnamon corn pops and stuck up their noses at fruit of any kind.
Not that I am blaming them.
I'm the one who does the grocery shopping so they are going to eat what I have available.
Ack!! I feel like I am going back to school to "relearn" how to properly eat.
When I was a little girl we never out unless we were on the road traveling or it was special occasion.
Now, we go out at least once a week regardless of what is going on in our lives.
My pantry is stuffed full of processed cereal and I can't even begin to imagine what coffee is going to taste like without sugar or my coffee creamer.
I have more questions than answers...
But, it's only day 1.
I am not giving up so quickly.
The kids did get 2 servings of fruit at lunch and I'm tweaking what we are having for dinner tonight as that long awaited grocery trip is going to have to wait until tomorrow.
**sigh**
This will get easier.
Right?
