While talking to Paige about what all I needed from the store for cooking diner for my cute neighbors who just brought home their adorable baby boy, I spilled the beans about how I love grocery shopping. She laughed and I knew I had to explain myself. You see my life might not be as hectic as some people I know but when my husband works about 12 hours a day and I work while the girls are at school and then when I get home it automatically gets crazy. Homework, Laundry, managing girls doing chores, making dinner, getting girls in and out of the shower, stretching and working out with the girls, arguing with the girls about how to stretch properly so they dont hurt themselves (Autumn is a little bit of an over achiever she likes to try to go further than her body will allow). Arguing with the girls about bed time. actually getting the girls in bed, making sure my husbands dinner is ready for him to be home, more laundry and more cleaning. So when I get to go to the grocery store by myself, I like to stretch it out as long as I can. 5 items usually would take me about 10 minutes to get in and out the store. But, I will take about and hour. Its a peaceful oasis to go shopping for me. I get to actually think, listen to myself, and work things out in my head. Sometimes shopping tho, can cost about the same as it would as going to a therapist, but I can kill two birds with one stone and can go when I want and not have to worry about someone else judging me. I saw a lady the other day wearing her headphones and enjoying her music while shopping, I think I might try that one time, so I don't have to pay attention to the children screaming for that toy that the parents wouldn't allow, or better yet, a fragle brown tooth guy who is wearing the most raggedy clothes I have ever seen, smelling as if he hasn't showered in years, and trying to pick me up in the electronics area of walmart. yes that happened. He first asked me if I worked there (i was wearing my scrubs), then when i shook my head "no" he then asked, well are you single, I didn't have to answer that because he then said "nope your married" he then proceeded to ask, well are you happily married? REALLY? are you kidding? I said loudly with a questionable giggle and said "UM YEAH I AM ACTUALLY" he then asked, "well can I get your name?" does he have a brain? i shook my head no and just laughed and walked off. Seriously? ok, first off, who picks up women in Walmart? second do you think you would have a chance with a girl when you smell like you haven't showered in years, have one rotten tooth in your mouth and look like your homeless? Much less a married woman? come on. I would have felt a little differently if I would have seen this man on the streets, and would have maybe responded a bit sweeter, but this man had a shopping cart full of electronics that I couldn't even afford.
Cheer was on Monday again, and they were learning there back flips. The coach emphasized on how important it was not to try this in anyplace other than with her in the gym. Aaron asked if she could teach him how to spot so that maybe they could work on it at home. So she showed him. He tried to spot Autumn and instead of "spotting" her he was throwing her.... it was hysterical but scary at the same time. While the coach and I were watching, we flinched every time he threw them. Its funny who has a motherly instinct to protect. Anyways, we agreed on them only practicing the back flip at the gym with her. We have been stretching at home every night and working on toning our core, due to Autumn being a flier and having to work on her cradle, so she has to strengthen her core. I have come to find myself reminiscing of my dancing days when i was younger and when Autumn was trying to center her splits tonight I went down to try to show her what she was doing wrong and how to try to fix it. wow, I thought for sure I ripped something. But I did them. whew, but I bet im gonna feel it tomorrow. Another thing I am noticing, when they are doing sit ups, I thought for sure they would be able to do at least more than me. They are young, they run around all day long, they have ample amounts of energy. But they cant even do one. Ahhhhh. I kinda felt better about myself but then looked and the age difference. But hey, I had fun.
Tonight I made dinner for 7. It was easy and fun and even made some cupcakes. check out my delightful commitment blog soon for more details.
