Preparing for Turkey day!

I am definitely done shopping for this day. I tell you, this is the last time I volunteer to do the TG-day cooking!! It is crazy out there! This was my day.

First I got up at 6:45 this morning b/c Sneezer was excited to get to her chorale practice that was at 7:30. So I got out of bed at 7 and then took her to practice. Came home and got CJ and Da ready for school and then at 8 decided that I didn't want to take the bus downtown to get the car to do the shopping, so I woke Sho-sho up to take the boys to school and Daddy to work. Then it was off to go shopping! I had my list. My plan was to just go to one store and then be back home an hour later to shower and then to go and get CJ from school. That did not happen. Half way home I realized that I needed a turkey marinate, ( per orders of hubby), so I turned the car around and headed for another store that I would assume would have a turkey marinate. No such luck so I just got some olive oil and figure we would used salt and pepper for seasoning. So I called hubby and told him that I could not find a marinate and that I got Olive oil instead. Then he added an additional list on me!! Fun! More shopping! So we went a picked up CJ and then we were off to yet another store. Hubby wanted Elephant garlic, which is only sold at a store up north. So off we went. We got the first things on our list and then it was over to the cookware to get an aluminum roasting pan. And just my luck, the freaking lady in front of me took the last one!!! So off to another store to get another one. So I am at my car putting my groceries and kids in when I notice this white car waiting for me. Now I don't mind when people wait for my spot when I am already in the car, but when I am still putting my groceries in and getting kids seat belts on, I hate that. I hate feeling rushed. Normally on any other day I would sit in my car until the a**hole would get tired of waiting and left. But today I had things I needed to get done, and I just really wanted to get home. So I back my car out as close to his as possible and then showed him my lovely birdie!!! Not to mention that I was actually yelling at him while putting the cart away. I was saying out loud " don't even wait for me" ( My kids were already in the car) I hate that. But so I didn't sound even more senile, I decided to get in my car. I am not a good shopper on these busy days, especially when I can't find what I need.
So at the last store I found the pans I needed for twice as much and just got them and now I am home.

THANK GOODNESS THE SHOPPING DAY IS OVER!! and now for a shower!!! and to sit down with the kids and watch Ice age: the meltdown.
