One of the boys and I went to Sam’s Club this morning. Elianna needed Gatorade for the trading post. Dad is usually the one who makes these trips but lately I’ve been telling him I can do it sometimes. Sam’s is actually a great store. I love the feeling of abundance you have with boxes of food everywhere. Coming from a bigger family, I don’t think I’ll ever forget the feeling of being replenished with food.

Yesterday I ended up going back into Walmart. I had the idea in my head that I needed some clothes and I need to act on those things when the moment strikes. While I was there I found some athletic shorts and regular tanks that I can wear as a swimsuit. I got a few colors to mix and match. Swimsuits anymore are a pain to try on and find. I feel like they don’t really make women’s sizes for the stores, and if there’s some great online shop somewhere I haven’t tried to locate it or inquire about it either.

So yesterday we swam and today as well. I like my new system. In addition to chips, graham crackers and chocolate for the cookout, we brought back five cases of Gatorade which the kids went through two of today. So we’ll likely have to get more. The crazy thing about going back to Walmart is that I didn’t even end up buying athletic clothes for the gym. I found a few more shorts and just decided to wear them.
