So far, this week has been pretty fun. Garrett is almost always in a good mood, he sits up all on his own, and he can play by himself for increasing amounts of time. His new independence offers me more opportunities to get stuff done around the house during the day and spend more family time with him and Cal at night.

Happily, my little guy likes to go shopping with me, much like his dad. We have been out shopping frequently to pass the time of our days and I have a feeling that we'll be doing lots of that considering there are no job prospects on the horizon. So how should I do this? Instead of buying my whole week's worth of groceries in one shot, should I go each morning? I like that idea...sort of.
