I’ve been SO anticipating this weekend!! Brady and I are getting a whole night away to go see one of our favorite bands in concert in Regina! Jerilee agreed to watch all of our kids so we could go away for a bit 🙂 What amaaazing people we have!! Goodness!
I’ve been saying recently that I’ve been working hard to not buy food before eating up ALL we have. Mostly that means convenience food right now. Pantry stuff. Frozen stuff. You know the stuff I mean. And we’ve been doing a pretty good job, if I do say so myself! But yesterday it became clear to me that we NEEDED a grocery shop!
We are out of bananas. We have three apples. No more fresh veggies besides a bag of some sad lettuce I chopped up a while back. (Don’t worry, no ones getting scurvy over here. We’ve been rocking all the yummy frozen green things in our freezer! Green beans, brussel sprouts, and broccoli!) We officially drank ALL the milk this morning. ALL of it. I even took the last shot of creamer for my coffee and it wasn’t enough to make it taste like I like it. We’re OUT! And as you all know, when we run out of milk around here, its time.
So today was going to be a big errand running day. We need Costco for most of it, and Superstore to fill in the gaps. Does anyone wish they could just hit Costco? How great would that be?! If they got our creamer, we could almost do it! I was also hoping to take Wavy in for her flu booster finally. We’re so behind. There were lots of things to pick up and do today.
A wrench got thrown into my plan when Laela woke up feeling queasy. She said she felt like she might throw up, and couldn’t find a comfy way to sit or lie down that felt better. She decided to try some breakfast, and sitting out in the dining room, in the morning light, she looked pale and droopy. I called the school to confirm her absence, and she cried. But she understood. In the last week, Dekker has come home with nausea, and Brady had a nauseous tummy for a couple of days that never turned into anything. I’m SO hoping this is what Laela’s does, too. Just an off day for her tummy, but no actual barfing. Please, Lord!
So, no grocery shopping today. Brady will have to do it after work. No shot for Wavy. As for this weekend, we’ve already put money into tickets and a hotel, so we can’t exactly skip it. So PLEASE pray Miss Laela is totally fine by tomorrow morning! Rather than accomplishing big things today, we’re going to lay on the couch, read stories, drink water, and keep it suuuper lame. Could be worse. A cozy home day is always nice!
