Living out one of my fantasies

This morning Grandma watched the boys (Claire was at preschool) and I left to do some grocery shopping. I even managed to sneak in a trip to Target and bought a bathing suit.

When the kids are with me on my shopping mornings, I fantasize about them not being there. I think about the luxury it would be to just browse the aisles in peace and quiet. I think about how I used to read the magazines in the checkout lane, catching up on the latest tabloids.

This morning, I browsed the aisles. I compared prices with total concentration. I read the magazines in the checkout lane.

But, I also missed the kids.
