signs i will be grocery shopping tonight

We had white beans, plain noodles, & canned green beans for dinner last night. Calum gets very hungry at about 7:30.

Growing child: I'm so hungry! Can I have a pickle?

Me: We ran out of pickles hon, sorry.

Then can I have a banana?

You guys finished the bananas last Friday. Sorry again.

Then I'll have a piece of bread.

Uhhh... (giving toothy, sorry smile)... No bread?

(Child, not smiling back) Dang it! Why don't you buy FOOD anymore? I guess I'll have milk.

Hey, I've got this TASTY GLASS OF WATER OVER HERE...

Mississippi Lock & Dam 25

Next time I'll remember: FIRST grocery shopping, THEN eagle watching.

Nah, nevermind. Eagle watching def comes first.

This is definitely a moment for the "Starving children in X would love to have a glass of water" speech!

We are totally in the same boat! We've had mac and cheese and some sort of canned veggies two nights in a row. There's just so little time for shopping!

I've been at this place for two weeks in a row now. I'm not sure what is happening, but my weekly grocery shopping seems to have blown up. I still go to the store and buy tons of stuff, but by Thursday we are scrounging for food and have no milk. I keep buying more things and am still in the same place. I literally have no idea how I'm going to survive when my son becomes a teenager because I don't have time to shop every day.

I love that when he is hungry, the first thing he asks for is a pickle.
