So why is sending my husband to the store for a few things such a debacle? Don't get me wrong, I love him dearly, he is a wonderful father and fabulous husband. I couldn't ask for someone better. But sending him to the market is not something I like to do. He stopped on his way home from school last night to get Anna the new Hanna Montana Cd for Christmas and so I said oh yeah can you get some Ian's chicken nuggets and some Benadryl for the kids. No problem. Hmmm. A phone call a few minutes later, "Hey, are the chicken nuggets in the frozen section?" What do you think? Sarcastically I say "No they are by the bread!" "Yes honey, they are in the frozen section!" Seriously! "Oh yeah, get the Target brand Benadryl, ok Chris?" (yeah I'm cheap) Okay, I am going to take a shower now (at almost 10pm) before the baby wakes up to eat before bed, any other questions hon? Nope, he replies I got it. Alrighty, so I am off to the shower, I hear ring ring, again. "Yes honey" I answer with shampoo in my hair. "Hey," he says, "They don't have target brand Benadryl, should I get the regular?" No, babe I'll get it later, don't worry about it. "Oh wait here it is!" Needless to say he never found the chicken nuggets, maybe that Target really doesn't have that brand, who knows? But I know now after being married for 8 years that grocery store shopping is so not one of his strong points. It is so much easier for me to get out and get it myself than explain where a particular item is before he leaves and still get about 2 or 3 phone calls while he is there with some more random questions like "did you want the big box of Bisquick or the small one?" Seriously!
Oh well, at least he knows how to clean, Brooke's hubby once cleaned the entire kitchen with Shout (stain remover) spray! LOL!
I really do appreciate everything he does for us though! Chris you rock! Most of the time anyway! I Love you!

Oh, sweet Chris. At least Chris will stop at the store for you. It usually takes some serious begging for me to get Nick to do that.
And Nick and the shout. He'll never live it down. Especially because just a few months ago, I caught him doing the SAME THING.
OMG! Get it together Nick! You think he would have the domestics down being on his second wife and all! JK
ok, #1 I love the fact that you are starting to divulge some personal issues and #2 don't even get me started on Wade and the grocery store! WOW! At least your husband calls to make sure he's getting the right thing. I can't tell you how many times he has come back with infants' Tylenol PLUS COLD or some shit like that or SKIM MILK for the kids. They'll never learn, it's just not in their genes!
hey... got the stains out! and the other time she was referring to was because she did the big no-no by putting stuff in a bottle that had the old label on it. label says cleaning shit.... you reckon, well... probably cleaning shit. hm.
windex doesn't smell like grapefruit though.
That is funny shit Ashli. On a serious note, Brooke, did the Shout get stains off the counter? Nick could be on to something.
The only reason I like to send Luke to the store for me...well, two reasons-#1 he only buys what is on the list. #2 He sees how expensive things are for himself (I ALWAYS buy more than I need and I'm always a little embarrassed to write how much I spent in the checkbook)
Let me assure you, Nick is not on to ANYTHING. He is just, well, not that blessed with common sense, or good reading skills! It did somewhat clean the counter, but you know.
Ah, I love it. I can't send mine to the store unless he has a VERY SPECIFIC list. Short trips for milk or whatever is no big deal, but if it's more than one thing I better send a list.
To make Nick feel better- I once cleaned the whole bathroom with Armour All car interior wipes before I realized that they weren't the Clorox cleaning wipes. I wondered why my hand felt SO oily. The toilet was oh-so-shiny, though.
I know, I know! They're coming!
