Does all that driving around bother you? When I'm settled in at home, I hate putting my shoes on and going out for anything. My wife has learned that if she needs me to go anywhere, she better tell me as soon as I walk in the door in the evening. Once the shoes are off, I'm done for the night.

Once I'm home for the night, I will not go out again. She knows enough to get me before I leave work so I can stop on the way home. The store really is a short drive from where I live and right on my way home.

I don't mind the driving. I'm a big sports nut and I listen to WEEI sports talk radio on the way to and fro. Also I tend to reward myself with candy or a snack to eat on the way home.

It seems like you are the one doing the driving around... Maybe you should alternate who does the shopping.

Does the OP's wife drive? If not...your doomed. Really.

I love to shop, but that's becuase I'm a sucker for riding in the cart. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

I am the opposite on this. When I get home from work, I need at least an hour before I'll go out again. Usually, I call the wife when I am leaving work to see if she needs anything.

On the other hand, I love going out shopping by myself any other time. It is about the only time I really get to myself.
