Walmart Run

 

I had planned on going shopping right after school Friday, but my plans fell through. So at 9:30pm, with George and Forrest in bed for the night, I asked Sadie if she wanted to ride with me to Walmart to go shopping. She was up to the challenge. We get there and starting looking around, getting all of the non-food items first. After 45 minutes, we were starting to wear out fast. Sadie had asked if we could just go home and do this tomorrow. It was very tempting and we almost aborted this mission, but we continued and endured to the end. As we were checking out, we put all the refridgerated/frozen items first because those were the only foods we were going to put up tonight. We pushed two full carts around the store and after checkout, and $350 later, we left the store with three carts. You should have seen us try to push threes buggies out to the car. We loaded the groceries in the back and front and anywhere they would fit. It would have helped greatly if the car was cleaned out to begin with! On our way home, Sadie said she was happy and proud of us for finishing and not quiting. It was a great experience for Sadie and I to have this time together. We talked about the seven years of fat and seven years of lean and how the Prohets have asked us to put away for a raining day. It was a teaching moment for Sadie that she will remember for a long time. We arrived home at 11:45pm, unloaded the gorceries, took a picture of our adventure and went to bed. It was so nice to get up in the morning and have food for breakfast! So was it worth it? YES!( right before we arrive home, we flipped through the stations on the radio and "Paradise City" by Guns n'Roses came on. It is one of Sadie's favorite songs, so we both rocked out together! What a great mother and daughter adventure we had tonight!)
