Aahh...Freedom!

The kids are back in school! Hallelujah!

It is nice to have some peace and quiet around here. But what was really nice was being able to get my errands completed today. I was able to do my grocery shopping, go to the bank, and put gas in the car all by 10:30 this morning. Of course, I still had to come home and put all the groceries away. That's the worst part for me. I can't stand it. I always think that it is going to take me an hour to put everything away. It seems like so much when all the bags are piled up on the countertops. I just spent over an hour, sometimes two, walking up and down the aisles in the store, piling the cart high, loading it all up at the checkout stand, and finally cramming it all in the car trunk. I just want to be done with it. Carting everything into the house and finding a place for all the food in the kitchen is the worst part. Grocery shopping is one of my least favorite things to do. But once it's done, I feel great having my cupboards and refrigerator full. But that only lasts a week.

I have a six year old and a thirteen year old that never stop eating. And since I prefer to have more fresh foods, fruits and vegetables on hand, more than boxed, processed or already prepared items, I have to go to the store more often than I really want to. We got a bigger refrigerator a few months ago and it is just asking to be stuffed full every week. I can't stand to have empty cupboards or an empty refrigerator.

Now I'm trying to figure out what to do with the rest of my day. There are other things that I should do around the house but I'm not feeling like working too hard today. I finally have time to do things without the kids interrupting, but I can't seem to make myself do it. I guess I'll save it for tomorrow. I don't have anything else on the agenda.

I'm going to stop procrastinating ... once I get around to it.
