Borrowed my moms car and made a huge shopping trip

Tweet

My mother told me I could borrow her car to go get groceries. I rarely ever borrow anything from anyone so I was nervous. She has a little Dodge Avenger. I’m used to my minivan so I wasn’t sure how much I would be able to fit but I managed to fit everything then just barely was able to fit it all in my chest freezer and refrigerator. I haven’t been able to find frozen spinach since September. Once school started back up I had to go shopping on the weekend when the stores are packed and shelves are bare. So today being a Monday there was spinach and I grabbed 10 bags. When I stopped for a minute as I was leaving wal-mart to check and make sure nothing was fallen off the bottom of the cart I apologized to the guy who had to go around me. He said it’s okay and told me I have a brake light out. I said “on my vehicle?” and then he explained it was because I stopped suddenly. I felt like such an airhead and told him how I was thinking to myself that I would have to tell my mom since it’s her car. I had assumed he saw me driving earlier and noticed the brake light. On the way home I stopped and filled her tank. It was on half before I put gas in. She told me it barely takes any gas and not to bother putting any in but it was nice of her to let me drive it so filling the tank was the least I could do. I spent $380 on everything and it should last us a month or more! I stocked up as much as I could so I wouldn’t have to go out again not knowing when I will have my van fixed. When I got home my son said it looked like a buffet. He was excited over me getting him grapes, egg nog and pepperoni pizza. My kids were arguing at dinner and since my daughter was mad at her brother she grabbed an extra slice of pizza and ate it. She didn’t eat it all and asked if I wanted the rest and said she only took it because she was mad. I told her that’s awful that kind of behavior leads to obesity. She stormed out of the room and said “What is wrong with you judging me?”. Teens ugh! Anyhow I got started on a little bit of Christmas presents as you can see in the photo. I also got my son a Fallout 76 poster and me 4 pair of sweatpants to lounge around the house these cold days. My mother’s birthday is coming up the first week of December so I bought her an air purifier and filter replacement for her combined birthday and Christmas present. She’s been having a really hard time with asthma and mentioned wanting to get one.
