recharged

Photobucket

Joel took the girls tonight so I could have some time to
myself. I had figured Marshall's was closed so you can
imagine my delight upon seeing this sign.

a time out alone is never complete without a stop here...
Photobucket
and because I hadn't had one in YEARS, a chocolate malt
with extra malt. and I didn't even have to share it.Photobucket
and to my husband, thank you. I feel much better.

These stores are like going to the spa for me!! Good for you that you took the time to 'sharpen your saw'. You're a better mommy for it. A big thanks to Joel!! Yaa Joel!

I always think of you when I see that a place has malts. Your's always had to be with double malt. You and my dad loved the malts. :)

Ahhh...to walk around stores...especially THOSE stores...and just BROWSE...

to explore the clearance ends of each aisle...

try on cute tops...

smell all the candles...

people watch...

smile to yourself gratefully when you see another Mom with whiny kids...

browse the funky jewelry/make-up/hairband section without your "mini-me" begging you to buy her something...

check out the frames and "life messages" signs...

and maybe spy a quirky little lamp and immediately think of a good place for it in your home...

nothing like it.

LOVE IT!!

Yummy malts!!

Wow.... shopping without kids? What was it like? (I really don't even remember...it's been so long....) :-)

a: Jen's comments always make me cry. I have no idea why. She could be cursing and ripping on me, and I would tear up.
b: major poopness that we don't live close. we are two sisters that aren't meant to be far away. 'cuz i had to listen to you on the phone while you sucked your malt down and walked in marshalls and my heart ached to buy needless crap with you. poopness. that's really (enter word verication)..."scoukphy."
