So I make careful and calculated purchases. My cart looked like this: shinguards (for 3 kids starting soccer this week), 2 comforters, shampoo, plastic bins, a RipStik. Everything was going fine until the RipStik. Never, ever, EVER shop with a 7 year old. Or, Just Say No. But, Grubby-Grub ALWAYS says "Yes. Of course! Put it in the cart! We may never, EVER get another chance to buy a RipStik again! What type of life would that be?!?!"
There is also the pre-lift drama where every thought throughout the day goes something like this:
While doing laundry... "Hmm..this detergent sure smells good! Do they have this one in Israel? Should I go buy 435 bottles and put them on the lift? I don't even have a washing machine yet! Yes, but is it cheaper to do that and pay $100/sq. foot for laundry detergent? Am I shallow? Who needs detergent? I know, I'll put Borax on my lift! Borax? Borat?"
And so forth... that is why none of you can reach me, my kids are complaining I am never listening, and why my teeth are constantly clenched. Stress anyone?

No, sweetie, I'm not stalking you. It just looks that way...
Keep Grubby-Grub away from Michael's. There isn't room in your lift.
Am staying in the house from now on. No more outings. This is crazy and so totally unnecessary!
I thought the detergent in Israel is formulated better for the water. I wouldn't waste space in a lift for that.
totally, Sara. I am just being crazy. You'd think I never lived there!! BH they really have EVERYTHING. I am just gonna make sure I don't forget any kids, and we'll be good to go :)
NK: You can get good smelling TIDE here in Israel, and other decent detergents.
When I sent a lift, I included lots of aluminum foil, since at the time, you couldn't get decent wrap here (and what did I know, it was 20 years ago, today I wouldnt bother).
Whenever we visit the USA, we go into crazy shopping mode, but at the end of the day, there's very little we really need from there; you can get lots here.
