Wednesday Evenings/Nights

On Wednesday evenings are refrigerator looks like this.

That's because on Wednesday nights Rachel goes grocery shopping. It took some persuasion on my part. She lovingly would go during the day with 3 rambunctious kids and a popping-pregnant pooch, so that are short time in the evenings together wouldn't be separated. But it got to be too difficult and this has been the routine for a couple of months. It's nice to have an evening with the kids for me to (both to have fun with my kids and keep me honest as a dad).

Needless to say, on Wednesday nights our refrigerator looks like this.

You could say we live from grocery trip to trip. Harhar.

Background (names and numbers have been changed to preserve our bank account)
Sometimes life requires the memorization of numbers. In order to help Rachel remember them when occasion permits, I like to let her use a trick that has always helped me—i.e. associate the numbers with a famous athlete's number.

Example:
Rachel: "What's my new PIN for my checking card?"

Me: "It's easy just remember Ray Lewis and Brian Urlacher."

Rachel: "I can't even remember those names let alone a number that they mean."

Me: "Just trust me."

So today I got a text from Rachel.

Rachel: Do you remember my new PIN? All I can remember is that it is a football player's number and it might have a 5 in it.

I busted. Up laughing.
