Mmmm


Yesterday I went grocery shopping. There were about 6 items on my list. I somehow managed to spend $144. I'm not sure what happened. It was after lunch; I wasn't hungry. I guess this is what happens when you send the pregnant lady to the Jewels alone. I was looking over the receipt to see how it managed to spiral that out of control.


Impulse buys:


  1. 4 Kraft macaroni-n-cheese (always good to have on hand)

  2. bag of chocolate chips

  3. box of Quaker granola bars- chocolate chip (technically health food, right?)

  4. bag of generic "organic" cheese puffs (again... organic = healthy. Yes.)

  5. bottle of blueberry juice

  6. Key lime yogurt

  7. 1 pack square bagels

  8. 2 frozen chicken kiev

  9. 1 frozen chicken cordon bleu

  10. 1 frozen chicken w/ broccoli & cheese

  11. 2 packs of bacon (yes 2, because 1 might not have been enough)

  12. bag of baby spinach (I can eat it right out of the bag)

  13. 2 bags of cinnamon raisin bagel chips, 1 of which I ate that afternoon in its entirety

  14. bottle of green olives

  15. vanilla pudding cups ("for Ellie", but I ate 2 already)

Time is running out... only 2 weeks left to "eat for 2". My doctor, by the way, does not endorse the whole eating for 2 philosophy. He says I only need to eat an extra 300 calories a day, which is only like a bagel and a glass of milk. Fascist. Oh, I'll have that bagel and milk. And then I'll have the pudding, bag of bagel chips, 17 Hershey's kisses and a couple of oranges, too.

Chin up - you still haven't resorted to the spray can of pancakes. That's ultimate lazy (although they, too, are organic :: healthy!)

What's this business about spray pancakes? Anything out of an aerosol can sounds healthy to me.

I'm a teacher. Apparently this means I must know EVERY answer to EVERY question in all of creation. Heaven help me if I make a spelling error. I'm also a wife & "new Mommie" (shudder). Don't get me wrong, I love my babies, but the phrase "new mommie" has got to go. It just conjures up images of scrunchies & sweat pants in my mind. Phooey.
