Clean Up On Aisle 9

Clean Up On Aisle 9
It happens every time my Marine goes away, no matter what the time frame of his absence is, there is that one day where I crack, just fall apart………….this time it happened on day 147, just 5 days shy of the 6 month mark ………….the day had started fine……..we had a fabulous time at the beach, we all came home the same color as when we left-that is success-enjoyed the rest of the day, went to the movies, yes, that was a disappointment, don’t go see The Back Up Plan, I left before it finished, they made sure to use every single flippin’ word, scene, etc, they could get away with and keep it PG-13. Sooo glad I didn’t take Vicki with me. I decided to do some grocery shopping on the way home. I was also starving!! I had made a lasagna on Tuesday and just had no desire to have it 5 nights in a row!! Anyways, I am walking aimlessly up and down the aisles of the grocery store and there is not one single thing that sounds good!! I picked up an egg sandwich in the Deli, blah, uhg, put it away. The cut up fruit looked sad, made my way over to the freezer section, of course the ice cream I wanted was on the top shelf. This requires me to actually climb up into the freezer and up the first shelf, yes people stared but I didn’t care and than the flavor I wanted wasn’t even up there, so I was just freezing. I kept thinking Jusco or a Family Mart would just be soooo perfect to have nearby, but since I am an ocean away from there I was trying to make do with the Walmart Super Center. UHG! I found nothing and just wanted to cry, but then I figured if I started crying and someone asked me what was wrong and I told them I was hungry they would think I was weird, 1. I am fat and 2. I was at the grocery store!! I was scrolling thru my phone and reading facebook posts and Leilani was there!!! So, I was texting back and forth with my super cool friend thru my melt down and of course she had me laughing and gave a virtual slap and so there ended up being no need for a clean up on aisle 9 from the lady bawling uncontrollably!!!
