Paradise by the Dairy Case Lights

Sorry Meatloaf....I just couldn't resist. :-)

I never realized what a pleasure it could be to grocery shop by yourself until Zachary started PreK. I actually look forward to grocery shopping now. Taking your time, stopping to look at things, not having to referee fights or rush someone to the bathroom, pure heaven. I overhear other mothers with their children and sigh happily as I push a regular cart without the extra child seat extension, my own shopping experience blessedly silent. No cries of "She hit me", "He won't stop touching me", "I can't stand that sound he's making", "I'm hungry!".....just blessed silence coming from my cart. I think Meatloaf should do a song about that. I know I'd buy it.
