Grocery List

As I'm standing in the check-out line at Walmart the other day, I realized something.
When you have a box of this...And this....

And a bottle of these....
There's something wrong.
It seems we are a family of dysfunctional digestive systems.

The look on the cashier's face at Walmart as she's scanning the above items, along with Equate brand Mylanta that I might as well, lately, put a straw in the bottle and drink like it's a diet coke.....
made me feel like I needed to say something to ease the awkwardness.
I chuckled and said "yeah, we got problems, and these are the answers."
She laughed and said 'do they all work?'
My answer...no, not all the time, but ya gotta give it the ol' college try right?
"Absolutely''

They say stress goes to the stomach.
It does.
With our upcoming move, and all the changes that are about to take place, and worrying about how all the changes will all effect Chase, it's a bit stressful.
It always is, and no matter how many times the military has moved you, it doesn't get any less stressful. I don't know anyone who thinks moving is stress free....
But it does get familiar.
And that's a good thing.
I wouldn't want it any other way, really, I've come to enjoy being a military family.
We're hopeful that this move will bring Chase the help he needs to progress through his autism.

At least one thing is constant in our lives, and that is....moving to new places, and the above listed items!
