Before and After.... oh times have changed!

As I sat in the Kroger parking lot tonight at 12:30am (technically, it was this morning, lol) I realized something.......

Before children.... going to the grocery store at this time was NO big deal and something I did without even thinking twice to get a few groceries... usually wine, lol.

After children..... this same activity was to get diapers, a snack and the Sunday paper, but mainly to get some "me" time listening to MY music loudly while reading through the ads in the paper.

I realized all of this as I saw young couples pull into the parking lot looking at my likely wondering 'is that lady nuts or what!!'....... as I thought 'you just wait.. your time will come'......oh, yes times have changed!! ;)

I love it how it takes triple the time to get a gallon of milk. I always give my husband the look of death when he asks me if i'm taking the kids with me. Hehe
