My Single Mom Life

I've chosen to stay at home and do the t-day stuff here instead of going to a friends house for the weekend. There was going to be this huge party Saturday night but plans got all fuckered up and seeing as that party was one of the main reasons I was going to go, I'll just stay here. Less stress, no mess.

So anyway, I have the honeybaked ham (yum) and a few sides, I realized I can't get away with just ham and some green beans and some stuffing and some au gratin potatoes. I mean, I could, the teens will eat whatever I put in front of them, but they would be disappointed.
So I'm going to the grocery store.
Two days before Thanksgiving.
Am I not suicidal?

I know that this trip will be a challenge. Every blue hair in Sarasota will be at the store today trying to get the last can of cranberry gunk and grabbing for pies and simply because they are old, they will feel entitled to it even if it's in my cart.
Yes I have had old bitties take food right out of my cart before especially when a hurricane is coming. They seem to think they are entitled to my spaghettios.

I'm aiming for simple. One package of rolls, one non-traditional pie and a few household goods I need like soap and cat food.
Easy, fast list.
But it will be a challenge.
I know the people of this town all too well.
They get crazy at holidays. It's like they think it's the end of the world.
There could be 100 packages of rolls on the shelf and they will want the one I just grabbed and started to put in my cart.
The blue hairs seem to know I'm in the store and they seek me out.
Whatever I have is what they need.

I'm gonna hit the video store first though. We have traditions here in our small twisted family. We watch the Macys parade and then eat and then watch some gore filled movies for the rest of the day.
No sappy family oriented movies for us. No way. We go for blood guts and gore.
We eat leftover pizza later in the night and binge on popcorn and cheese balls with crackers.

I must be crazy though attempting the store today. I will take pics though cuz I just know that at some point some old bag will try and abscond with my cheese ball or frozen ice cream pie from my cart.
