  • Sensory Overload in the Grocery Store
    • ]]>     The more I interact with my own family, the less I understand.  Seriously, people are baffling.  Several reasons for this:

    • SS moved out a week and a half ago.  In theory, he has moved out several times, none of which involved a stay at another household for more than 72 hours.  He and DH had a blowout on a Thursday. Cluelessly, I imagined he’d be back by Monday.  Not so.  Obviously, I don’t know wtf is going on, with either of them.  On the upside, DH expects no input from me, which is fantastic since I have none to offer.
    • DD decided yesterday she would learn to write the letters in her name.  Today she decided to learn to read.  All afternoon yesterday, practicing letters with a crayon on handwriting worksheets.  All morning this morning with phonics.  She can count and do simple math in English, French, Spanish, and Chinese.  She doesn’t know which shoe goes on which foot.  It is one of the great mysteries of the universe.

    • Why store birth certificates with wrapping paper?
    • Thursday: Laundry, paint the kids bathroom, pay DHs tag fee and drivers license fee, grocery store, drop and pick up dry cleaning, haircut for DD and me, return books/library excursion, normal parenting things like bath, sort more of grandmas paperwork.  DH accuses me of sitting around enjoying myself while he slaves away.  wtf?
    • My cousins are still calling me Lilo, which means little one.  I’m almost forty and six inches taller than they are.  I appreciate the affection.  However, I don’t want to be like the big fat guy called Tiny.  kwim?

    • ]]>     I often cannot stand the grocery store. I have too many choices. And all of these people are near me. And the fluorescent lights are bright. And it’s loud. The place can really freak me out.

    I call it sensory overload. Then when I looked up sensory overload today, the wiki article referred to autism, which I do not have. I admit, I can be antisocial at times. But that is not the same thing.

    DH gets very annoyed with me. I often go to the grocery, but come back with exactly what is on the list and nothing more. Or I return with only some of the items on the list because I get part way through the store and feel like I’m suffocating. So I go to the front and check out with whatever is in my buggy at that point.

    When I get home with half the groceries; I am just glad to be home and not in the grocery store. DH wants to know, where is the vanilla coke?
