How do you grocery shop? Do you shop once a week? Once a month? Everyday? Do you create a menu of what you are going to have first, or you just randomly get things that sound good?
I am asking because I need to change the way I grocery shop, so I would like to know.
I am not judging the way people shop, and I ask that nobody else does too. I am asking what works best for everyone else.

A New Year, and a new day
Just a warning this post is not about Kate, and will not have any picture. This post is actually going to be about and for me.
This year for me has been a little difficult. We had Kate, which turned everything upside down for us, and we are still making some adjustments. She is very demanding, and has to have things her way. It makes it very hard to get things done. So my house is a complete disaster, and probably will be for a while.
Also my Grandpa Kilpatrick has mild dementia and since we are the ones that live the closest we are the ones that get random phone calls from people like the police, adult protective services, and his neighbors. This gets to be a little difficult because so many of these people just want him to magically be better. There is no cure, there is no getting better. Half the time he can't remember what year it is, or who anybody is. He always seems to think that my little brother is my dad. He can't remember that my dad passed away. It is just difficult, and some days are worse than others.
Kraig and I have also been teaching primary in church. We have been teaching the 5,6, and 7 year olds. There are only five of them usually, once in a while seven. It has been hard. Everyone that I talk to that has been in primary say they loved it. I hate it. Trying to take care of Kate and teaching a hand full of hyper kids doesn't work. There have been so many times I have thought about quiting that I am surprised I haven't. I am hoping that this year will be a little better because they separated the classes a little, and now we will only have four kids, and all four will be turning 5 years old this year. Honestly though, I am not sure I can't make it through the year. I should have to sacrifice my family for anything, ever. I am not going to do it.
Every year people make resolutions that often get pushed to the wayside. It becomes such a tradition for people to make resolutions or goals for the new year, and than simply let them die. I am guilty of this as well.
Stacy, has been doing a "Phrase to Live By" since 2009. I love the idea. I find it much easier to find a phrase, put it up somewhere that you will always see it, and remember it. It is the one thing that almost make me wish I had a Cricut (that is an idea for another day).
Right now my life is one stress after another. My days run together, and I feel like certain things will be never ending. I hate that I have so little time for the fun things. Things will eventually work out, but for right now my life it to hectic for me to try and say I am going to get my house cleaned, I am going to dejunk my house, I am going to fix the world. All I can promise to anyone, is that I am going to take care of my family. So my phrase will be "My Family Comes First".
