Over $500
February 10, 2008 6:51 pm UncategorizedThat’s how much money I spent at the grocery store Saturday morning. And I only bought probably 3 weeks of food, and not even all the meat we’ll need for that amount of time. I loaded up 2 grocery carts, and by loaded, I mean stuff was precariously balanced on top, and it actually took three to roll it all out to the van. It’s insane, the amount of food we go through. And, there will of course be a bread and milk run about every three days. Thank heavens for the bakery thrift store!
It’s insane, the amount of food we go through. I guess that’s one of the juxtapositions of huge families. They are still eating you out of house and home while you are beginning to investigate medicare insurance for your golden years. Hehe, hopefully by the time we get there, the years will be the only golden thing around here, and there will no longer be little golden puddles appearing on the bathroom floor caused by “Not Me”.
Speaking of NotMe, I have given 8 times to singletons, and yet I have between 9 and 11 children at any given time, depending on whether the neighbor kids are here or not. They come and go, but NotMe is a pretty constant fixture around here. Maybe you have one, too.
Who spilled this?
NotMe.
Who used this?
NotMe.
Who played with this?
NotMe.
Who has shoes in the living room?
NotMe.
Come to think about, I bet NotMe is the one who eats so much around here. He loves chips, pop-tarts and crackers, and he’s not so keen on the oatmeal and vegetables.

Hey!!! NotMe leaves puddles in my bathroom too. He’s not a very polite house guest at all is he?
NotMe cuts up paper into itty bitty pieces on the dining room floor, and leaves the toothpaste open, and spills tea all over the counter and doesn’t wipe it up.

I have 10 little(and big) not me’s at home! And that’s not including my husband. We have two birth children, 7 adopted and 1 foster baby! It’s a new experience every day.
