Geriatrics Shopping Spree

In anticipation of my visit with my Grandmother this past weekend, I spent almost all of my lunch hours and afternoons after work riding around town purchasing Grandmother supplies. What sucks about it is that each different item has to be bought at a different store than all the others- so instead of going to one store and getting everything there, I have to go to 3 or 4 different stores to buy the never-ending list of stuff that she requires. I try to buy these things in bulk sizes so I am not having to Grandmother shop every other week. Well, this week was full of disappointments in the all-week Grandmother shopping spree… the first Target that I wasted my time going into for ensure knock-offs ($2-3 less than ensure!) only had ONE 6 pack in stock! I need AT LEAST six of them since she drinks 2 a day! I tried to salvage the trip by looking for the flushable wipes… NO luck- only baby wipes and they are not flushable!!! I wound up hitting another Target and scoring 7 more packs of the ensure knock-offs. And then a trip to BJ’s Wholesale landed 2 huge cases of lady pull-ups… no wipes again- only the freaking non-flushable ones! What a crock! I did manage to find HUGE bottles of fish oil, centrum silver, and citrical at BJ’s… those all important over-the-counter pills she requires… And then I had an epiphany while standing in line with the huge cases of depends sticking out of the cart… I started to wonder at what point in my life did I start shopping for adult pull-ups and ensures? Who would have ever thought that I, Kelly would be shopping for these things in my mid-30’s? I mean my Husband could hardly stand next the cart the one time he went with me to wal-mart to buy a small supply of pull-ups… I guess it just doesn’t faze me any more at this point. I mean seriously- do it look like my big butt will fit into a Ladies Cut Small diaper? Please people! And even though I rode around most of this week with all these huge boxes of geriatric supplies in my car, I still made myself unload them into our garage on Thursday- Lord help if someone were to see them in my car…now is that so wrong of me?
