Say What???

I took Hali and Melody grocery shopping with me this morning. We were on a mission to get three things: canola oil, cheese and bread. La la la la la down the isles and the next thing I know my cart is nearly full. And I wish I could blame it on the girls but the sad truth of it is that Mom was hungry when we went (yes, I know...I broke the cardinal Number One Rule of Shopping--DON'T GO WHEN YOU'RE HUNGRY)! Anyways...

We stopped for donuts last of all because it was Saturday and I was totally going to score some Cool Mom points with the fam. Finally, as we make our way to the checkout lines I see a couple more things I want to pick up: lunch meat, thinly sliced Italian bread--you know, essentials--when I hear Hali, my nine-year-old, huff as she remarks under her breath to Melody,


"We are SO over-budget!"

to which 8-year-old Melody replies, "Yeah. We are definitely over encumbered."

SAY WHAT? over-budget?! over encumbered? Whose kids are these anyways???

LOL...amazing how our kids can make us feel like they are the responsible adults and we are the naughty children...from about the age of three my daughter would turn to me with hands on hips and say "oh for goodness sake, grow up" LOL!

That's so funny! Love when they throw you off guard with their grown up words.

The other day I was combing my hair and my 2 year old said "mom, you look so flablulous!"

Found you from your comment on A Handful of Life.

Probably should eat something before you head out the next time or......go alone:)

Hey! That's my mom above me!

I was going to tell you that when I "run in" to the store, my 4 year old scolds me for not having a list.
BECAUSE I WILL NOT BUY IT IF IT IS NOT ON THE LIST!

Gramma 2 many,
YES, I have been listening to Dave Ramsey! Do you like him, too? I'm in my third month of living out of envelopes.

Gina,
I should surely start that wise idea of not deviating from my list!
