Getting choked up while picking out a Batman backpack in Target just thinking about the first bus trip, the first day of school, the first recess, and 12 years of childhood flashing before my eyes. 

Priceless.

I'm not ready and he is.  It's not fair. 

Just like Mastercard....

I was tired and annoyed that I had to do my weekly grocery shopping late Monday night instead of Sunday afternoon. But, that's life and sometimes the weekend doesn't go as planned. Here's the tally:

Healthy, non-couponed (it kills me) groceries for the week: $100
Toiletries that somehow happen all at once: $30
Birthday party favors for 20 kids cause I know I won't get back to Walmart before his actual party day: $40
Random Hot Wheels conveniently placed near the checkout so I get them for my little man: $2
Having a 30-minute, full-on conversation with my 4 month old daughter consisting entirely of squeaks, babbles, giggles, flurbs, and raspberries while doing the shopping: $Priceless

Just when I thought I was going to fall asleep while pushing the shopping cart, baby girl kept me entertained and made the whole trip go a lot faster. And, snap!, the job's a game.
