Got Milk? We sure do!
I promise I did go grocery shopping last Friday after we only had ice water for breakfast. Milk in our house goes quick. I usually buy several gallons at a time, but Friday I only bought one for some reason (lack of sleep, 4.5 year old arguing with me that chocolate milk comes from brown cows, I shop in the ‘hood’ and try to get in and out without getting robbed, I’d gotten another one of those squeaky carts with three wheels - take your pick).
Let me remind you that I do 99% of the grocery shopping. My husband knows to put whatever he wants on the list and I’ll pick it up. It’s worked this way for over 6 years…a perfect system. He’d probably cite that as to the reason why he didn’t bother to travel to the grocery last week when we were out of milk, juice and Diet Coke. That and he’s lazy.
After work today I stopped to get a few things. I went ahead and picked up two gallons of milk to save a trip later in the week and two bags of salad. Two hours later my husband walks in the door with groceries - Surprise! He bought a gallon of milk and salad. His reaction - “Why didn’t you tell me you were going to the grocery?” For 6 years he has understood the list thing. He proved that by not going to the grocery while I was busy with work last week. So why today?
We now we have 3 1/2 bags of lettuce and 4 gallons of milk in case a blizzard or something happens. My Grandma would be proud.
You are always welcome to send extra bags of lettuce or extra gallons of milk to me;>
you better get some smoothies made quick !!! and why is that the ONE time they actually get proactive and do something without being asked, it’s still wrong?!
I ran out of milk this morning, not five minutes before I needed some for cereal. I envy you.
Ha! That’s a lot of milk!!! The monkey loves her milk!
We have had so much snow that I wasn’t prepared for here. I certainly wish I had the extra’s to put to use in our household!!
Sadly, the milk is disappearing rather quickly. My little guy is growing some strong bones! Although he prefers choc. milk since school introduced him to it. But I buy 1 gallon of choc. & mix it half/half with the skim milk. Tricky aren’t I?
Wait… chocolate milk DOESN’T come from brown cows?
It seems like no matter how much milk I buy, we run out in a day, leaving me forcing myself to drink coffee black, which I hate, but I hate being without coffee more.
mmm… lettuce smoothies.
LOL about chocolate from brown cows. I keep reading that line in preschool communication about this age group makignup wishful, magical or silly explanations for things and holding fast to it as fact, despite evidence. It drives me bonko all while laughing out loud.
My husband also does not understand the list, and if he ever stopped to pick up something at the store I’d faint.
I’d be making smoothies with all that milk. YUM!
