Driving Me Bananas!

As a general rule, I do not go to the grocery store more than once per week. This helps save time and forces me to organize our meals for a whole week. However, when we got home yesterday and unloaded groceries Ryan asked where his bananas where. Hmm, I did not see that on the list. Ryan said that he had asked me to add it to the list and since my mama brain tends to be forgetful I believe him. So out of my deep love for him, I agreed to make a Walmart run today to pick up bananas. Plus I realized that I had a prescription to pick up, but let's just say that it was solely out of my deep love for him.

After Eva's nap we went out to the store. We braved the blustery winds - you know, the kind of wind that makes you hold on tightly to your child so that they don't blow away. I decided to pick up a few other things including a bathing suit that was super cute and on sale but unfortunately didn't fit well when I tried it on at home. As we were walking through the aisles I kept singing to Eva, "Bananas. Bananas. We have to buy Daddy bananas!" to make her laugh. We checked out - chocolate chips, cocoa for baking, butter, cookie mix, frosting, swimsuit. I don't know why the swimsuit didn't fit :) Don't worry, all of those unhealthy ingredients were for deserts I am making to share with other people.

We walk to the car. I put Eva, the groceries, the diaper bag, and her shopping cart seat in the car. Then I realize that I forgot the bananas! Aahhh! What's worse than 2 grocery store trips in one week? 3 grocery store trips. Again, out of love for my husband, I decide to run quickly back into the store. I grab Eva and decide I will just carry her and my wallet. The walk is longer than expected and I am thankful that my Jillian Michaels' workout DVD has made my arm muscles stronger because my tiny little girl is actually quite heavy. We walk over to the banana section and it is completely empty. There are absolutely no bananas.
I guess a troop of monkeys beat us to them. Defeated I decide that since I came all the way back into the store I will buy an avocado for Eva to eat tomorrow for lunch. I check out at the same register as before with my sole avocado and trek back out the car. I come home and tell Ryan, "Don't go bananas, but you will have to eat something else for lunch."
