If you're gonna go shopping...

Or

How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookies... the Mom's Way.

Or

How to Get Trapped at Wal-Mart.

Of course if you're gonna make chocolate chip cookies, you'd have to stop by the store and get some first. But while you're there you might as well grab a gallon of milk.

If you're gonna do that you should grab some bread too.

If you're gonna do that, and since there in the same aisle, you can grab some bagels and maybe some muffins for an easy breakfast before school tomorow.

If you're gonna do that you'd better grab an after school snack... maybe some juice boxes and small bags of chips.

If you're gonna do that you should grab yourself a treat. Those chocolate bars are looking pretty good right now!

If you're gonna do that you'd better think about dinner too. Grab some ground beef before you go (lean, of course, since you just got a chocolate bar!).

If you're gonna do that you won't be coming back to the store soon so you'd better grab some diapers and maybe some formula while you're here.

If you're gonna do that go ahead and check out those clearance racks of baby clothes across the aisle. You might just get a few items for next summer for really cheap!

If you're gonna do that you'd better get something for the other kids in case they feel bad that you did get them anything... so off to the boys and girls departments.

If you're gonna do that you might as well see if you can get something for yourself in the women's section (Oh look!!! Jeans are 25% off!).

If you're gonna do that guilt will drive you to the men's section to get a peace offering for the hubby...

If you're gonna do that and since you're half way across the store anyway, you might as well check out the kitchen stuff because you are making cookies so a new cookie sheet or mixing bowl would be really nice and very over due.

Of course by now you're too tired to make cookies so you end up going to the bakery and buying a dozen or so.

But before you check out, the kids are all so hungry and tired that you end up buying them one of those annoying candy bars that stare at you in the checkout lanes.

And if you're gonna do that you'd better get them a drink too...
