We're in Europe? Really?

Well I guess I won't be going to Egypt anytime soon. That's a real bummer, it was on my must see list. But no need to worry, that list is VERY long, and I think I'll have enuf other places to visit to keep me busy until Egypt settles down. But I'm telling you, I will get to take a river cruise down the Nile before we leave, I just know I will!

So I can't seem to buy the right amount of milk for my family. The J man eats cereal every morning ( I mean we could be in the middle of WWIII and he'd be eating his cereal every morning the moment his feet hit the floor!) I try to make sure the girls get a dairy serving for each meal...which sometimes includes milk but other times it's cheese, yogurt, etc. Sometimes what I'm cooking includes milk as an ingredient. But my point here is really that I'm either out of milk, or we can't drink it fast enuf for it not to spoil! I have tried to buy the same amount over and over, but it either spoils or I run out. Then I'll only buy 1 liter and it seems like I'm stopping for milk every other day! There is no easy solution, I have just resigned to the fact that I'll just have to stop and get milk more times than any other grocery item. I wish they had a milk man!

And the last thing on my mind is the Euro exchange. The J man is freaking out about buying anything on the economy because the dollar is down. Now, I might try to do more weekly grocery shopping at the commissary, but I'm not gonna kill myself in the process. I get things where I am when I happen to need them. Not to mention that there are alot of foods out there I haven't tried yet, the Eisman delivers, I need to find a milche (milk) man, and basically I want to buy European things while I'm in Europe!

I'm always saying we have to do as much as possible since we're here, and the J man always says "that's not true, we'll come back". Yeah right! I can't even get him to go on a trip in the states! He's really good at lying to himself, because he actually believes it!
