Holiday Thoughts
Yesterday as I went to the bathroom in an overcrowded Wal-Mart, sans children (they were with Gramma), and sans cart (also with Gramma), I sat in the quiet stall all by myself and exhaled. It was so nice to be alone, even if it was in fifteen cubic feet of space. I thought, "I could sit here for hours-too bad I don't have my knitting with me."

LOL! Of all places to have a few minutes for yourself. No one tells you these things before you have children, do they?
ah, look what an addict I've turned you into!
lol thinking happy thoughts huh
That is pretty sad in a funny sort of way!
Oh yeah, I remember those days. Next time you should take grandma shopping at a higher quality store, Foley's, Neiman,whatever you've got in town that boasts carpet on the floor and an ornate powder room mirror, then use the ladies room in the lingerie dept.
The day will come, dear one, when you can retreat in your own home and say, "go away from the door, mom is having quiet time." Still, that's at least a decade off. I used to call the preteens into the house when it was MY shower time and explain, "I will come and take care of you if it is an emergency, but, I am not running outside naked, so, have your emergencies inside while I am taking my shower :)
Um, you know me, but the computer says I am anonymous

LOL!!! I totally understand you girl! Glad you had a few minutes alone...:-)
yes, every moment of alone time is completely savored, no matter where or when it happens!
btw, i'd totally hang out in the bathroom for 45 minutes if it meant I could have 15 cubic feet of personal space all to myself!!
I love your posts. They make me feel like I'm not alone. :)
