By the grace of all that is holy, I was able to get my last bit of trip shopping done today. I just have one prescription to refill before Saturday, and that will complete the quest.
The quest wasn't about the prescription though.
It was about the royal haul.
Oh, yes.
The royal haul.
As in the snacks I plan to take on the plane / on the trip, for several reasons. One being that I live in a state of fear of not having enough snacks for HRH. And a variety. Because he wasn't jazzed about everything I brought in September, so I went for some good ole favorites and some new things we've never had. Which may cause some serious regret on my part, but I'm hoping to call it vacation food and leave it at that. We'll see. He's pretty good about that kind of stuff.
Another reason is that I need breakfast food for myself and him while we're down there. Something that can be eaten easily while on the go, so we're not taking away from potential park time or swim time or whatever time. And the final reason is that Mom and Nana run on a different schedule than HRH and I. As in, they just don't eat as much or as often. My mother, much like my husband, likes one big meal per day, and is pretty much content to snack or eat a little something.
TK?
Not so much.
Now, I don't need a TON of food or anything, but I do need to eat / snack on a regular schedule. Or bad things happen to good people, savvy? And the same is true of HRH. Oh yes. When we don't eat on time we are two cranky peas in a pod. And since the majority of our reservations are for dinner that leaves me wondering what we're going to do for lunch. Now with a toddler, you let the chips fall where they may. If he wants a pretzel from Germany, he's getting a pretzel from Germany. Honestly. I'm going to try to get some good food into him, but seriously? It's one weekend. It's vacation. I think I may spoil him. A little. Just a little, okay? I'm just really, really grateful right now, and I'd like to shower him with a little bit of love.
Which is why I got all this.
It's for him, and for me, savvy? Well, I could name specifically what's for him. Note the Spongebob DVD up on top there? Oh yeah, baby. This boy LOVES him some Spongebob. As a matter of fact, in addition to his new Hulk slippers, he's also getting new Spongebob jams on this trip. Just a little spoiling, savvy?
Anyway, he LOVES Spongebob. And he doesn't have any of the DVDs, because I've never been quite ready to go down that road. As in, I know we'll be watching this now all the time. ALL the time. But last night he got so excited over an episode and was so passionate about it, I caved. And I knew when I went to
WalMart today, I'd be looking for the one who lives in a pineapple under the sea.
Now I'm not bringing all this stuff in these containers, oh no! I have lots of those nice Ziploc tupperware with the locking lid to distribute different items into. So we'll empty some of the items into those, and decide just how much of each thing we're taking.
Yes, there's a fair bit of junk.
Totally aware.
Totally don't care.
It's vacation.
Spoiling a little.
The royal haul looks pretty good, eh? And I must give a little shout out to Miss Tinkerebellarella. I would never have known that HRH liked ring pops so much if it weren't for you.
Please excuse my fuzzy brain.
