Remember Today 12.11.08

{remember} an unexpected bit of freedom while my Mom took the boys: volunteering in C's class for an hour, grocery shopping with my own peaceful thoughts and purchasing only those items that we need (yes, I needed that Symphony toffee and almond chocolate bar--besides it was on sale!), excitedly picking up this from the library, and ending the day with a visit with Santa at the mall--and M didn't cry, even though he really, really wanted to!
