I quickly put the thought out of my mind and said "no, no, shopping on Fri is just smart- I'm still not adult-like. I just like to have my Saturdays free." But, I now realize grocery shopping on Fri night was my first step to adulthood- b/c I look forward to getting my coupons together, checking the circular for the best deals, and doing my own version of extreme couponing. Now, if only I could conquer my nemesis- the self checkout line. Nothing makes me want to scream like a kid more than that thing. However the fact that I rise above it is just further proof that I'm becoming an adult (who still likes to pick up wine on Fri to enjoy Sat!)<br /><br />tamarawelch@hotmail.comTamaranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622828765030571851.post-59088426091674149712012-05-29T18:45:20.638-04:002012-05-29T18:45:20.638-04:00Haha, I'm still not sure I'm a grown-up!

I have three kids now so I guess I've been a "real" adult for a whille, but I have to say that a couple of years ago I found myself in a conversation about Oxi-Clean with another preschool mom. She was telling me how she pre-soaked her kids clothes in a bucket with Oxi-Clean and water and etc. and all of a sudden, I thought to myself, "Oh shit, you are here at this moment in your life, having this boring stupid conversation about Oxi-Clean." And then I thought, "Better pick up some Oxi-Clean at Costco."<br /><br />I've read all of Jen Lancaster's memoirs and love when she posts reading recommendations on her blog!

I realized I was an adult when I had turned 18 and my late brother pulled me aside(being I was the "baby sister") and he said okay, you are now in the Peanut Butter Club. What is that? He explained"You now buy your own peanut butter and bread" It will be much more tasty because you bought it and you pick when you want to eat it!That is a wonderful memory I have of us talking. He was killed in a wreck one month shy of his 50th birthday..2003.This is all true.
