Phew. And we have "Tackled Tuesday."

Today's list of crazy included an early morning Inventive Minds meeting for Gwynn, work all day, then County Roll Offs for Devin for bowling and dance tonight for Gwynn. Needless to say it was a leftover kind of night for dinner. We had fish tacos last night, and tonight, while having one, again, I took a look at the bag of tortilla chips that we had indeed reached the bottom of. Family Size.

You know, I used to only buy Family Size when we were having a family gathering. Now, it seems, we are doing family size all the time. I guess it was inevitable. For all practical purposes, we have 4 adult appetites in the house these days. I got a Family pack of pork chops this week, fully intending to cook all of them in order to have a meal, and to have leftovers. I do believe it is certain that the days of the meager, or even reasonable, Price Chopper bill are long gone.

This week, I was talking to a man who was behind me in the grocery line, about the fact that my (almost) teenage son is eating me out of house and home. He told me to enjoy it. I have a photo of Devin at about 18 - 20 months old, standing at the refrigerator with the door open getting at the food. These days, that sight is quite the familiar one again. I ought to take another picture and frame them, side by side, in the side by side.

Now, if I could only find the man who would sympathize with me so much in the grocery line that he would in turn pay my bill. Maybe wishful thinking, but a mom can dream!
