RE: 5 minute freewrite: Friday prompt: Grocery List
I have, on more than one occassion, completely skipped over an item on my list! I am not an organized person, but if I have a long list (which is the case when we make our monthly Costco run-you should see the looks we get when we are grabbing 2 cases of Kerrygold butter!) I will re-write the list to make sure the like items are together! Especially with 4 children squabbling there is no time to go zig-zagging all over the store!
But last week, I actually got to go shopping alone... and I still overlooked something on the list! Like, maybe I was in such a state of bliss that I just didn't really care? I don't know how it happened, but I had to laugh at myself.
On and yes, I totally abbreviate my lists and cr chs makes total sense to me!
My husband's job took him out of town much of the time when our children were little, so I learned to go shopping with one, then two, then three children in tow. I don't recall them behaving horridly, but there was just too much input, leading to sensory overload in my brain. When we moved and he was home more, I realized I could go to the store in the evening, ALONE! Wow, what a concept!
