Today I went grocery shopping alone. That sentence says it all, as far as I'm concerned. And not just for a couple of items, a full on grocery shopping trip, with no kids. It was amazing. I meandered through the aisles, not missing any items on my list due to distractions, like pulling my kids off of one another in the middle of the canned goods aisle. Yup, that happens a lot.
I ran into several friends, all of whom I had long relaxed conversations with. It felt a lot more like social hour than an errand. I was actually reluctant to leave the store, knowing that I would be returning to Mommy Land, which is in a small area of Dirty House Land. But I did leave, I loaded the car, and headed home. I am already looking forward to my next solo trip to the store. It is sure to be just as beautiful as it was today.
