June is Nuts!

When I first started this blog, I posted every day. I am not sure what has changed, other than being pregnant, but now I can't find the time. June is crazy busy. School ends next week for my oldest, so we have end of year parties and "summer birthday" celebrations to plan and attend. Thank goodness school ended for my middle boy in May!

The middle child and the baby both have birthdays this month. The baby's party is next weekend, and I still have not made her invitations. Father's Day is next weekend as well. I have cards to make and gifts to buy for that. I have to make and send invitations for the middle child's party as well which is in three weeks. How am I ever going to have enough time when there are FOUR children?!? How do parents of that many children do it?

Today I had to grocery shop. Super hubby has been doing a lot of the shopping for me of late. Seems like whenever I am pregnant, the grocery store is the last place I want to go. It really wears me out, especially when I have to take two children with me. Today was even worse! I normally shop at Safeway. I shop there because:

• they have really good store brand items;
• they have many items that are safe for my children with their allergies;
• it is very close to home; and,
• I know the layout of the store really well.

When I create my shopping list, I write the items in the order of where they are in the store. Well, they are reorganizing. AGHH! They put the jelly by the bread instead of with the breakfast stuff. (That makes a lot of sense, but I would have had a really hard time finding it had someone not pointed me in the right direction!) The bread aisle is all torn up because they are reorganizing and it took forever to find the kind of bread that is safe for my kids. The toilet paper has been moved down about four aisles, and the water is with the pet food. Next time I have to go to the store, I won't know how to write my list!! The upside is that the store was full of employees moving all of the items, and everyone was really helpful. I might need a guide the next time I go to the store!

Anyway, I got my shopping accomplished even if it did take a few minutes more. Now I have laundry to tackle and I've got to get to those invitations. What I really want to do is open the ice cream I bought at the store and curl up with a good book!
