Random mom thoughts while grocery shopping

Good morning beauties! I just got back from doing my weekly grocery shopping. I always do it on a morning hubby goes in to work late so that I can go without the kids. It's so much easier to walk down the aisles without hearing "can we buy this? PLEASE, mom!!!" Over and over again. Well, except for the voice in my head tempting me to buy loads of junk because I left without eating this morning even though I know it's a horrible idea to go food shopping when I'm hungry. Anyway, today I realized that I think of all kinds of odd things when I'm by myself. Not to mention the conversations I have with myself.

As I was buying a Coke out of the vending machine before walking into the store, I thought to myself (or maybe said out loud haha) "why am I willing to spend $1 on a can of Coke out of the vending machine when I cringe at spending more than $3.00 on a 12-pk? I guess there is something about the fact that the vending machine Coke is already cold that gets me, I don't know.

Then, as I was leaving, I unbuckled my purse from the shopping cart (I always buckle it in so that no one can run by and swipe it.) I thought to myself (or again, maybe said out loud) " you always put the groceries and purse in the car before putting your children in because you are paranoid of someone jumping in your car and taking off with your kids. However, you buckle your purse in the cart so no one will run off with it and you don't buckle your kids in?"

This is, I guess, what happens when a mom gets too much time alone.
