2 hours of pure bliss!

Eric had to be in work early tonight and as he was leaving for work I was whining how I needed to go Christmas shopping and that I really needed to go out and do it ALONE. A few mins later I got a text from him saying his mom would be over at 5:30 and would watch the kids for 2 hours for me. Gosh I love this man! So my mother in law arrived at 5:25 and I scooted right out the door. I can't believe I'm going to say this but yes being in an overcrowded mall full of crazy shoppers was like a little taste of heaven. No stroller to squeeze through those ridiculously small stores my neices will only wear clothes from. No kids squealing and knocking crap off the shelf in the poorly laid out tiny disney store while I wait in a never ending line (they were having an awesome sale!). No prying children from the television set at Gymboree. No snots to wipe (well other then my own), no mouths to feed, no questions to answer.....it MUST be Christmas.

The only downfall to my alone time was that my hands and arms ached from holding all the bags. I should have been one of those nutty people who brings in the stroller anyway just to hold my crap. I can't believe how much I got accomplished. I am in the best mood I've been in for weeks. I think I need to get a life and get out more often!
