Today I've been getting ready to leave on Thursday like a crazy woman! My Dad is coming tomorrow night so I have been making freezer meals so they all have food to eat while I am gone. I've also been writing down all the schedules, routines, rules, etc. that he will need to know for the boys.
I went grocery shopping today and to the pharmacy to grab some more binkies for Tate for while we are gone. Taters is so addicted to the binkie, you do not want to be caught without one while you are out. He will make you pay!
So while I am at the pharmacy I run into something that I have seriously began to loath about shopping in London. First of all, all the stores are tiny. Okay fine. But then they restock the shelves during all hours of the day. Okay...but while they are doing this the re-stocker people take up the whole already small aisle and it is near impossible to try to navigate around them. They also just leave things in the aisles and block random aisles with things. It is the most frustrating experience.
I do most of our grocery shopping online, but sometimes I just have to grab a few things and then I run into this kind of thing...
Some random cart thing completely blocking half of the baby stuff in the pharmacy...
Really? This just made me laugh...
Perfect place to put empty grocery carts, right in front of all the cereal!
Yeah I didn't buy any cereal that day.
I seriously just have to shake my head and laugh sometimes. Oh London, you're so tricky with your obstacle course grocery shopping!
Thatcher started an after school club of Martial Arts today and he starts Football, not American Football, as Thatcher says, after school tomorrow. He is really excited about both. I think it'll be good for him to do his own thing for an hour after school without Tagg. They are so close in age I am also trying to find things for them each to do individually because they are grouped together a lot and obviously spend a lot of time together.
The boys are not looking forward to us leaving them on Thursday night. This has been a little difficult for me, as I get anxiety anyway about these kind of things. It is our first time leaving them in 7 years, and the first time they remember and they aren't happy about it at all. They don't understand why in the world we would want to go away without them! How dare we! I had a long talk with them today about how it is important for moms and dads to get away alone sometimes because they love each other and it is good for them. Yeah they still don't get it, we will keep talking over the next few days.
I am exhausted now and will sleep like a husband tonight. :)
