UGH!!! I feel like a zombie today! I went to bed early enough, around 10:30 - 11:00, but my sweet baby Georgia did not sleep well last night. I half slept all night and finally at 5:00am she was awake screaming for a bottle. I fed her, and why may I ask do they eat so so so slow when your about to drop them from being so sleepy???? Any who she finished at like 5:45 and was back asleep. I jumped into the bed hoping for an hour of sleep. NOPE!! Didn't get back to sleep before it was time to get Big girl up for school at 6:45am. Why can't I fall asleep like my husband??? Seriously people, he can get into the bed and is asleep in like 30 seconds, it makes me sick. I just want to put a pillow over his face. So today is shopping day and I feel like a sleepwalker! I don't think there is enough coffee in our house to keep me going today. I may have to "rest" on the couch while the other kids are having quiet time. But look at this face, who could NOT love it!!!
OK, question for anyone who reads this. How do you do your grocery shopping? Do you go in there blind or do you take a list??? I spend a whole day making a menu for the upcoming week, check the sales ads to see where I'm going for what and then make a grocery list. My list is everything we might eat in a week, breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, dessert and evening snack for the hubby and I. My husband thinks I'm crazy for spending so much time doing this?? Most of my friends just go in there with no plan. If I did that I would come out with wine, beer, cheez its, cereal, half and half and maybe some diapers. I glaze over in there without a plan and a list. I have to do this for every major shopping trip I make. School clothes shopping for Lydia, had to have a list of all things I needed, after making the list of things we already had. Am I crazy??

Oh my goodness she is cute!!!!
I shop just like you do. I plan out menus, then make my grocery list based on what we need for each meal. Then I sort thru my coupons. The only thing I don't do is go to different stores (well, except for Costco). We only have 1 good grocery store chain here, so that is the one I shop at.
I completely understand....If I go into the store with no plan we would have beer, wine, snacks and lunch meat....but nothing for meals. My friends all think I am crazy too, but then admire the fact that I have a list stuck on my fridge at all times of what meals I can make that week. They are at the store every day trying to figure out what to have for dinner. No thanks...not with 3 kids to lug in and out of the store with me!!!
Cute!
I don't get much sleep either - kids wake too often, hubbie snores (argh). last night hubbie slept in son's room and all 3 kiddies slept w/ me. I was only awakend 2 times - usually it ranges 8-10 times with noring. So, I feel pretty good today!
Shopping - WOW. I never know what I'm making for dinner until the afternoon. I change my mind too much if I plan ahead. I would make a menu and then the day would come and I wouldn't want to eat that. Weirdo I know. I do make a list of things I need for sure and then if I see antyhign else, I just plop it in the cart!
She's getting so cute!
I'm usually not a list maker, I go in with a mental list and ad-lib as I wonder through the store. I think not having a list grocery shopping is much more expensive than shopping off a list with coupons in hand.
