In my defense (and this is how I always explain it, nicely), I have a 40-minute drive home. I want all the cold stuff together, with the meat and frozen in the insulated bag, and the other cold stuff together in the overflow bags, so that nothing goes bad. I like to know which bags need to be unpacked right away and which ones can wait while I change the baby's diaper. Like Feisty Irish Wench, I unload my cart according to how I'm going to bag it, and actually, unloading is now my oldest's job, and he has it down pat and gets pretty irritated when the person who is not bagging, because I've taken the job, tries to do HIS job for him. Most of the cashiers know us and our anal little ways, though. :)amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02429539000041713324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-6456393666940288282009-04-15T08:44:00.000-04:002009-04-15T08:44:00.000-04:00Can I revel in that moment of sweet poetic justice...Can I revel in that moment of sweet poetic justice as well?Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09037928148778848386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-83370389069015774532009-04-15T07:47:00.000-04:002009-04-15T07:47:00.000-04:00Maybe you should try rolling your eyes when she ta...Maybe you should try rolling your eyes when she talks... <br /><br />Ooh.

That way it's easier to bag, and easier for me to put away when I get home. I've been thanked by the grocery store associates for having an organized setup since it makes their jobs easier.<br />And I wouldn't fuss at the bagger about the method. I'd just simply smile and say "I'd like my candy in a separate bag please. I need to hide it from the kids and husband."Feisty Irish Wenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00689381839029507940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-79900726794302978082009-04-15T01:25:00.000-04:002009-04-15T01:25:00.000-04:00Clearly, my kids need jobs ASAP!Clearly, my kids need jobs ASAP!Karen (formerly kcinnova)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16705613736966783261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-83806949502789050442009-04-15T00:53:00.000-04:002009-04-15T00:53:00.000-04:00Way to go, girl---get em where it hurts!Way to go, girl---get em where it hurts!Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04305357810894657905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-72573847288220740842009-04-15T00:40:00.000-04:002009-04-15T00:40:00.000-04:00I used to sack groceries.

F...And chocolate picks up other flavors so fast...<br /><br />FWIW, now that my baby just turned 21 so I can play Wise Old Sage (cut the old part, though, m'kay?) I found that the best way to get a teenager to open up and talk (and just plain be decent when you're starving for that out of them) is to make them their favorite dessert and then--this is important--stay up way past their usual going to bed time as you share it. Dunno why it's so effective, but it is.AlisonHhttp://www.spindyeknit.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-62084351188027975002009-04-14T23:51:00.000-04:002009-04-14T23:51:00.000-04:00hahaha!!
