Forgot Groceries AGAIN Today

Oh boy, it feels like every week I manage to leave the grocery store without actually getting groceries. So today, as usual, I walk in with a list of stuff we desperately need at home and by the time I exit, all I have is my phone bill receipt... in one hand and maybe some chocolate bar or chips for me... in the other. It's like my mind blanks out when it comes to actual shopping. I do think it’s funny how much I plan things around here, scheduling nap times, organizing the house, planning meals, and yet groceries just slip my mind completely. Maybe if someone handed me a list that said 'get groceries' with nothing else on it, I’d actually be able to follow through... But then again, what would be the fun in that? Oh right, and there’s this one time when I was trying to make pancakes but forgot to buy flour or eggs. Talk about setting up for a disaster! So we ended up with syrup-soaked toast instead. Not exactly my finest moment. I guess if there's anything positive to take away from all of this, it's that forgetting groceries might save me from overbuying, right? Or maybe I just need a better system. Like maybe leaving the shopping list at the front door as an actual reminder. But then again, who leaves their house without checking the front door these days...
