Alert the media.....

So as I left the Disaster Area this morning balancing Little One on one hip while she tries to grab everything within reach (my earrings, necklace, keys, hair.....you get the idea) of her chubby little hands and my purse, keys, lifeline (read:cellphone), bottle bag for daycare, extra diapers for her cubby, an extra change of clothes for her, my breakfast AND my Dr. Pepper......I forgot the list of things I needed to run by the grocery store and get on my way home today.

The daycare frowns upon you being later than your scheduled time to pick up your minis by even 5 minutes so I need a plan. HUDDLE UP....and the plan was to duck out of work under the guise of needing to make a post office/bank run before I pick up the minis thereby giving me 10 or so minutes to run in the Teeter Totter (my Grandma's name for Harris Teeter......bless her, she can't remember Harris Teeter) and pick up said items.....PLAN MADE......and BREAK

Much to my utter amazement and surprise the husband.....MY husband (who happens to be off work today lucky bastard) called me FROM the grocery store to see if there was anything else I needed other than what was on the list I left for him.............insert screeching needle on record sound here.........WHAT?? Are you lost honey? Did you just say you are AT the grocery store? Did you just say the list I LEFT for you? (note to self..forget list more often)...Oh yeah, that list that I most certainly MEANT to leave on the counter for you since you often do me favors like that......

ALERT the media......seriously....this kind of shit DOES NOT happen in the Said So house. Mommy is usually always and I do mean always the grocery getter, in fact I didn't know his truck could actually turn into the parking lot of a grocery store never mind him actually get out to go inside and purchase groceries.....this is a day that will go down in history, cause lets see, we've been together 12 years and married 8 of those 12 years and he has never ever ever offered or gone to the grocery store for me or him in all those years (aside from the beer runs girls....) and I'm sure it will be 8 to 12 more before it happens again.

this is me being thankful for the small things.........and this is me realizing that he's thinking he's gonna get some tonight..........now it all makes sense.......
