Grocery Shopping at it’s Best

Published on January 9, 2011 by in Humor

Today I really had to get some groceries since I hadn’t gone in a couple of weeks the food was running out and I knew I didn’t want to go during the week with three kids in tow. I decided I didn’t really care to go by myself either and so I text my sister to see if she wanted to venture to Walmart with me for some groceries…. she text back that she wanted to go but she was at her boyfriends house. I said they both can go and that I had no problem driving 15 minutes out of my way to get them!

The adventure began when I picked them up at the apartment …. they were fine in the car, I bitched, my sister bitched and her boyfriend just sat in the back probably wondering why in the hell he decided to ride with two chicks to Walmart … not to mention two sisters frustrated with life!

We got to Walmart and sis gave me shit because I was too busy texting with a friend that I took a minute to get my car locked up to get out of the cold weather. We got inside and grabbed two carts. All was fine … until we hit the area with cakes. You see today is my father’s birthday and sis wanted to get him or bake him a cake … so she called him to find out what cake he wanted meanwhile I remember something about credit cards and her wanting a hot man … dunno ….

We moved on from that and proceeded to grocery shop while I got to listen to them talk about various sexual things and make everything into a sex related joke. I am not kidding, my face was pretty much RED the whole time in Walmart but I was laughing too! They were not quiet about it at all the whole store was staring and some customers even thought it was hilarious!

I decided I needed to get batteries … now I know never to attempt to buy batteries while shopping with them, because it was then that my sisters boyfriend who I thought was the quiet type spoke up. Oh it was on key perfectly … something along the lines that I needed batteries for my vibrator. Mind you I haven’t told them if I own one or not but seriously … loud as loud can be and some customer perked right up and stared at me the rest of the time. I DIED … I think at that point I was ready to crawl into a hole and run away from Walmart never to be seen again.

What can I say? The Eastman sisters grocery shopping with a man leads to an experience worthy of a few tears, red face and the wish that I had gone grocery shopping drunk…. with my designated driver!

A so-called Passionate Moment

She whispers in his ear “the kids are sleeping darling” and he looks at her with an eagerness to feel her body against his, as she pulls him close and he obeys she starts to nibble on his neck and his ears, hoping that this will surely get what she wants out of him. She has been waiting all day for her man to come home and after a long day with the children all she wishes is to feel the tenderness of her mans touch, his breath against her neck and long deep kisses with tongue. Just touching and feeling of two bodies together, something she dreams about nightly, will make her feel the love she longs to feel.

Just as she starts to nibble his neck and his ears, she realizes he is pulling away, he isn’t interested in this sort of affection. The type of attention she is used to giving is not that of the attention he desires. The two desires of two people living a life together do not mesh, they are not compatible or so she starts to think. Just then he starts to kiss along her neck and she feels his breath along her neck as his kisses get more intense along her neck slowly working up to her lips where he thrusts his tongue into her mouth and together they enjoy a long, passionate kiss.

This passionate kiss lasts for what seems like hours to a stay at home Mom who’s most appreciation all day was having her child wipe his own face after lunch. Just then, he stops kissing her and slowly unbuttons her pajama top, revealing her bra and underneath is what she longs to have him touch, to kiss and appreciate, but he doesn’t remove the bra, instead, he slowly walks her toward the bedroom where she hopes with all her might she is going to have some passionate love making happen.

They both arrive at the bed and lay down on their own sides of the bed and just as fast as that passionate moment had started … it died. Before she knew it he was snoring in bed beside her as she fought back tears in her eyes, wondering if she was attractive enough, wondering if she was good enough, wondering what in the world was wrong with her that a man who says he loves her dearly would allow her to go to bed feeling unsatisfied, unappreciated and not needed.

Single Minded Attitude

Okay all you single Moms or once upon a time single Moms I think you know what I am talking about … a single minded attitude in my own words is …

One who has raised their child for a period of time, alone, whether other parent is involved or not & has had the luxury of doing whatever they want, whenever they want when the child is away with the co-parent. One who has set their own house rules and set forth their own personal values they wish to teach their child without another person having any say under your roof.

I have this bad attitude, it’s not bad in the way one would think the term bad attitude to mean but having a single minded attitude when in a relationship could cause some clashes of heads, otherwise known as head butting. Not the head butting my sons do to me on a daily basis, that hurts but is mean to be their funny way of bonding with mom, the head butting that can cause anger, hurt feelings and a feeling of lack of appreciation. I can not help the single minded attitude that comes into play once in a while, for I often feel like a single mom and let me tell you what I have always been happier as a single parent. It’s like I thrive to have that control and that freedom, but I don’t believe the single minded attitude I have is all about control & freedom, it is more so about the fact that I already feel single most days so why not be single.

Don’t get me wrong I am not saying because I have this attitude it would make it okay to walk out on my family in any way, I am simply opening up a discussion about this single minded attitude and getting a little bit more about me out there. I feel there are a lot of parents who struggle with this attitude who now find themselves in a relationship, but there are many who have lost that attitude along the path we call life. I wish I had lost that attitude but I do not feel 100% satisified, something is missing in my current lifestyle that makes me scream to be a single mom. I fear I am a person who needs constant focus, determination and with relationship issues that are not going to be fixed, I find myself saying screw it and wanting to just do what I need to do to be happy. I know that when I am happy my children are happy, it is so true that saying “Happy parents make Happy Children” I have seen it 1st hand many times.

Having a single minded attitude can certainly get you into heated conversations with your loved ones, whether it be a partner, spouse or family member. I know first hand this attitude may make you feel wonderful but can make others feel horrible or cringe.

So do you have that single minded attitude and how did you get rid of it? OR do you still have it and struggle on how to make that attitude work in a relationship?

You Can Be Strong Again

Being passionate is a spectacular feeling, when you know in your heart that your life is the best it ever could be. You are found being extremely happy and satisfied in all areas of life and because of this your children are amazingly bright & wonderful. Well what happens when that passion dies out and you are faced with a reality you had hoped not to face again?

What if your hopes of something never came through? It seems life has proved to you that the world you thought could change, hasn’t. Life has proven that no matter how passionate you are about something that you can’t expect a person to change for you. No matter what you hope and dream for, life is what you make of it.

It’s not selfish to want to be the best you possible and in turn know that in your heart your children will only benefit from you being at your best. It’s true, when two parents are at their best, their children blossom! I have seen this with my own two eyes in my daughter but have only seen a glimpse of this with my sons.

Do you know how sad it can be when the world you live in makes it easy to give up? It makes you look like you gave up and then you bow down to what others want you to do and how to live by their standards when reality hits you smack in the face and you realize that the decisions you made the first time were real, heart felt, honest, better for your family decisions. Now you are faced with wondering what happened to the passion you once held? What happened to that person who was so incredibly happy that everyone wanted to be around you?

I tell you … that person can get lost … lost in a complicated life, but it only gets lost if you allow it to. Remember life isn’t easy, it’s full of tough decisions that take work to move forward with. I once was strong, I am now weak but I will be strong again you just wait and see.

Sitting in The Backyard

Sitting in the backyard, wind blowing through my hair

I sit and wonder how I got here.

Mind raging, heart racing, wondering what to do now.

A smile crosses my lips as I think to myself wow.

I know what needs to be done, how to solve the mystery

Only problem is how do I follow through & learn to trust me?
