"...or with your child who
"...Do not go to Target if you're on a budget..."
"...or when you're in a hurry...because you'll go down every aisle and fill up your cart...and next thing you know, you've just spent well over a $100 for that gallon of milk and loaf of bread...and you only have 10 minutes to get through the checkout and pick up your daughter from Kindergarten."
"...Remember to clean up all the dishes from breakfast, lunch and dinner before leaving the kitchen...or Skipper, Whiskers and Snowball will clean it up for you...and then you might have to clean up an even bigger mess."
"...When you get up to transfer the wet clothes from the washer to the dryer, do not stop to answer the phone, use the restroom, get a snack, check your email, Facebook or blog...because when it's time to get the clothes out of the dryer to fold them and they're not there...you remember that's what you were on your way to do when you got up....oh yeah...I'll be right back..."
"...Remember when you're rushing around every morning in your 'eat breakfast, get dressed, brush your hair, wipe your face, the bus is coming' frenzy to close the garage door when Alex and Emily leave for the bus stop...or you will be spending the next 10 minutes coaxing Whiskers out from under the riding lawnmower."
"...Make sure that a certain little girl is completely asleep before you decide to open up packages for Christmas and CHECK CONTENTS FOR ACCURACY...or she might catch you...whew...that was a close call!"
"...Don't ever blink...because when you do, the day is done {and the laundry is not} the kids will grow {and so will the pile of dishes}...
...I think I'm going to need more paper...I have a lot more notes to write!
I always end up spending way more at Target than I was planning....they has such cute stuff! I forget about the laundry all the time, but mine usually gets left in the dryer for a while too!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cool post! I should never go in Target when I'm on a budget because I never leave there spending less that $50. I laughed at the things you shouldn't do on your way to the washer. Happy Thursday.
ReplyDeletehaha! This is hilarious!! And I totally make the going-to-the-grocery-store-hungry mistake all the time!
ReplyDeleteThis is such an awesome post Carrie. You are so funny & creative.
ReplyDeleteThis is sooo funny and hits home with me!!!! I LOVE Target.... I have to def. stay out of that store... I haven't been in Target in probably 4 months! I spend way to much money when I am there. I can also relate to the laundry issue... done that several times! I enjoyed reading this post! I needed a good laugh~
ReplyDeleteLove your notes. Now if we would just listen to ourselves. I always go grocery shopping hungry. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha, just throw that list right on away... get back in the car, go BACK to Target and buy the prettiest scarf you can find!!!
ReplyDeleteTHEN, every single time you put it on, call that a HUG from ERICA!!! =0)
Oh I love this Carrie, oh so very true especially the don't blink one!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great Friday.
Hugs

Notes to self....AND to me. I better write them down for my own good.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll use your notes. They sound quite useful and exactly like things that this Carrie would do. Reading through your notes I couldn't help but giggle at the visuals I was getting from your descriptions :)
