I now use a trolley (current and future me have learned not to underestimate how many things we need) but current me is still optimistic that it’ll all fit in one bag at the end 😂
My anti word is actually two - Be Careful. As a toddler mum of a very active, capable and brave young boy I need to stop trying to get him to act with caution and instead embrace his capabilities. He has no idea what I mean when I say be careful so it’s time to drop it from my vocabulary and instead start saying “be brave. Try. It’s ok to fail. There’s a bandaid big enough for every scratch!”
Oh hey, legend!! Lovely to see you here. Fantastic turn of phrase, I can only imagine your boy having a bundle of amazing energy if he takes after you!!!
What a great start to the year 😊! Would you believe that basket happens to me as well (shhh!) but it happens at Woolies and Coles… it then flows into how many bags you need at the self serve check out and often dropping something! All because I just wanted to slip in and grab milk 🤷♂️
Yes! I completely under-estimate how many bags I need. Usually like to keep life simple and just take one. But then you're rueing that decision, because suddently, you're mixing hot and cold items / it's all too much. Just shows how ineffective humans can be at estimate ANYTHING in the future, ha ha. HNY, Matt!
I used to do the same thing at the supermarket too! Recently though my local Coles brought in new baskets that are awkward AF, so I now get a high trolley by default.
As for whether this is an analogy for how I do life ... let's just say perhaps I need the universe to switch out it's baskets 😅
I want to see these awkward AF baskets, they haven't hit my area yet. But maybe I need them, so I actually get a trolley!! When I get my basket, I think, "Well, if I do have to grab extra things, it's like a mini strength session" but it's SO BAD and uncomfortable haha (anyway, glad I'm not the only one)
