Dreading grocery shopping -mini vent

Dreading grocery shopping. 

I know I have to go at some point. We are out of some of the basics like milk, eggs and cheese. But I just don't want to go at all. My girls are really good in the store and behave really well, i just don't feel like leaving the house. I have become such a home body it isn't funny. I don't think I moved my car almost the entire time last week. Great for gas

I feel like I have so much to do but can't do any of it because i need something else to be done first. Like I want to get DD2 into a big girl bed but I can't do that until we get a new frame for the single bed. I want to start washing all baby's clothes, but what is the point since I have all girl clothes and we are team green, besides the point I don't have a dresser to put them in. I want to start setting up all the baby stuff, but there is no point in taking up all the space for 3 months when I don't have to.  

So I feel like I have so so so much to do but then I don't get anything done. DD1 and I have made some pretty cool necklaces and a whole family of egg carton Caterpillars and DD2 is loving the playdough I made her the other day.  Just wish I could get motivated to go get some food for the cupboards. Oh well. maybe after DH gets home from work I can send him 

Anyone else a total home body recently??

Can you have groceries delivered?

I am a home body, but not in the same way you describe.  I have no problem running errands, shopping, groeries ,cooking, getting house ready for baby, etc... but I don't want to go to WORK anymore, and I am not very social.

I'm trying to be but with the recent closing on our place we have been sleeping on the third floor to not get in the way of the rennovation.  Work is complete Friday and after a huge push and 3 day weekend i'm planning to be right there with you starting next week.

 You definately aren't alone in your preparations for LO.  Its hard to get motivated with other things going on!  You'll get there!

I am a homebody and on my days off don't feel like going grocery shopping, especially with DS.  He cannot sit still and refuses to be strapped in and even when strapped in plays with all the food in the cart. 

I do have some similar issues with baby clothes and organizing.  I ordered some baskets to put baby clothes in, but need to go through the tubs of infant clothes we have to weed out the boy-specific stuff and put the gender neutral stuff somewhere specific. I haven't found the energy to do this yet.  We did just get rid of a bunch of stuff from the basement so at least now I can find stuff down there.  I haven't even finished moving my pre-pregnancy clothes out and maternity clothes in.  I'm basically just living out of the laundry baskets.  sigh

I have a huge list a mile long, of groceries i need, but the thought of shopping wears me out.

I'm a homebody by nature.  You'd think leaving the house is painful, the way I avoid it most of the time.  Not that I don't enjoy getting out now and then, it's just that going anywhere with kids takes 10 million times longer than it should and is more stressful than it's worth most of the time.  Unless we're going somewhere the kids want to go.  Then it's easy-breezy.  Grocery shopping doesn't count, in their opinions.  They behave, but they still don't make it easy to get the job done.

Over the holidays I think I drove my car a total of three times, and each time had at least three or four days between it and the next time.  Sadly, I thought I had more gas in it than I did (stupid gas gauge) and ran out of gas this morning anyway, *grumble, grumble*.

I was in the mood to grocery shop today, until the running out of gas thing.  Then I just wanted to come home and take a nap.  Now that I'm home I'm determined to do the things that can be done without something else having to be done first (make a few important phone calls, schedule a package pickup), but the nap is so happening.  So there's no dinner when it's dinner time.  Today is payday, let's order in.
