You are cordially invited....

This is a picture of my cart at Target today.  Notice there is no popcorn purchased to appease a child during shopping.  It is a sad and lonely cart.  It seemed to be the only cart at Target that did not have children attached.

The loneliness is a result of this:  my newborn riding the bus to kindergarten.

Can't you tell that he still needs me?  For the first time in 11 years, I have hours upon hours free during the day.  I have no clue what to do with those hours.  Oh sure, I could sew, I could clean, I could work out - but for the moment I think I'll just sink into sadness for one more day.   Or I could plan my pity party - that's what I'll do.  Would you like to come?  I'll save a piece of cake for you.  In the meantime, lets all look at this picture and realize the obvious - he really does still need me.
