Years ago when the gas prices went up so high, I asked my mom if I could just come to their house to eat lunch everyday instead of coming home. They live like 2 seconds from my work. I told her I'd bring my own food she didn't have to make me anything. Well, it has morphed into her making me an actual 'meal' everyday. Life sucks for me huh?! I had to tell her a while back to not make me such big meals for lunch because I'd never make it through the rest of the work day without falling asleep at my desk!
So it's a win-win situation for everyone. I don't have to drive 7 miles back home for lunch. She makes my lunch ('cuz we ALL know how I love to cook...) AND she gets to see her favorite daughter everyday. Ahhhh, I'm a giver...
Ok, so mom had the Kroger ad out the other day. And they had soft drinks on sale. So she was telling me what was on sale. And I told her that I don't buy cokes. Listen - I'm cheap. I don't wanna pay $3 or $4 for a 2 liter of coke. C'mon, that's craziness. So when I explained to her that I didn't buy them she got all upset & told me that, "I should buy Brad his Mountain Dews. He works hard. He works all the time. He deserves to have cokes." Mmmmm - I was not convinced.
So mom took my car to have the tires rotated & balanced for me (told ya we're spoiled...) & she went to Jay-C & she bought Brad cokes...
But the joke was on her 'cuz she bought 'him' Diet Sunkist 'cuz she thought he like them. I said, "nope, I like diet Sunkist!" She said, "Are you sure?! I thought HE liked them?!" "Nope, mom, that's ME. I like the Sunkist..." "Well, I thought HE liked them?!" "Nope, sorry - you bought ME Sunkist! Yummy!!"

Yummy!!"Friday after work we were going to the church to help my Aunt & Cousin make sandwiches for my cousins wedding. And I got a text from mom - "Do you want me to bring you a sandwich from Sav a step or Subway?" I said, "No, you don't have too..." She said, "You've been working all day & you will be hungry!" I said, "Ok-bring me a sandwich..." She said, "from where?" I said, "A chicken sandwich with lettuce & mayo from sav a step... & bring cheetos!!!"
So I got to the church & while we were waiting - we ate supper.... but she forgot the cheetos...hmph.
But this time the joke was on ME 'cuz she made me listen to the 40's channel on Sirius XM...I had NO clue what I was listening to.

very nice, linda!
Is it safe to eat food from Save-A-Step? Really? One of our rules is to NOT eat food from a gas station. Isn't Save-A-Step like a gas station grocery store, but without the gas?
You're thinkin' I totally missed the point of your post, huh? I didn't. You're mom sounds really sweet. I'm sure she'll be delighted that you bragged on her via your blog.
HAHA, Denise! You're so funny! :) Actually, here's the deal w/ Sav a step - my Uncle (mom's bro) owns one here in Palmyra. He has a 'kitchen' area where they make breakfast items & lunch stuff to sell. So, while it's probably not the 'best' food for you - it's fried & yummy - AND he does have gas there! Also-yes, the point of the post was to brag on mom but to also share how silly she is at spoiling us! This is why I don't believe anyone when they say, 'Oh, when you have a kid - when they turn 18-they're gone.' Mmm hmmm, sure - I'm 33 & 3/4 & she still takes care of me everyday! :)
