Doing what I need to do...

A friend gave me a hard time about using grocery delivery this morning...  In all honesty, his comment really pissed me off.  This came from someone who is part of a traditional family - husband, wife, children who are old enough to really help and make a difference.  I don't think anyone understands how truly exhausting it is to run an entire household yourself, especially while working out of the home 40+ hours a week.  Everything is on me -- and SOLELY me.  Yes, I have a gardener who maintains my yard but he doesn't do it all.  And yes, I have a housekeeper who comes every 2 weeks and who mops the floors and cleans the bathrooms and vacuums and dusts.  But it's 2x a month -- certainly not enough to keep the house clean and organized on a daily basis.  I have an active 7 year old boy with homework every night.  I have two vehicles to maintain.  I have a dog and a cat.  And I need to fit into the equation, somewhere...  I don't feel like I have the time to spend an hour in the grocery store, going aisle by aisle -- waiting in line to check out -- driving home -- lugging it all in the house and putting it all away.  If I can utilize grocery delivery so that I can make my grocery list after hours, when Bear's in bed -- adding to the list only the items I need without making "ooh, that sounds good" purchases -- and it gets delivered to my kitchen (usually free!) -- why not?!   Next time someone makes a comment about the fact that I utilize grocery delivery, I'm going to fight back with a big, loud BITE ME!
