Stock-it-up Saturdays

I just decided that if my house was a public facility, I would write a letter of complaint to the manager. So often I go to wash my hands and have no soap. I reach under the sink to replace the toilet paper, and I'm out. I go to butter my toast, only to realize I didn't take one out and the butter in the fridge is as hard as a rock. I have no one to blame but myself because I would say 9.5 times out of 10, I was the one to use the last of something. In my mind I say, "oh, I'll refill that in a minute after I do such and such." Well such and such leads to this and that, and it doesn't happen until I'm in a bind! This has led to much frustration for me. So, I've decided that Saturday mornings will now by my day of the week where I enlist the help of my sons (and daughter when she's old enough) and go around to stock things up. The only reason I decided on Saturdays was because of a catchy phrase I just made up - Stock-it-up Saturdays. "Come on boys, its Stock-it-up Saturday!" I just hope they are as excited as I :)

Blessings!
