This afternoon I had an appointment and was done a little early. As I neared Long Beach on the congested freeway, I realized that I had an hour before I needed to pick AJ up, and pondered what I could do (alone).

I thought about going to my second favorite place to shop: Buffalo Exchange -where they have cool used clothing for cheap- Then my next thought "You don't need anything" (Thanks mom for ingraining this concept into my head)

I thought about picking up my dry cleaning: Nope. Did not feel like it.

Hmmmm, how about going to Trader Joe's, since I have so little "dinner type" food for me? Nah. I like to go with Aidan so he can have a balloon. He squeals with delight when they blow it up in front of him.

I need quarters for laundry, and I could get off at a different exit on the freeway and stop at a bank. Yuck.

Pedicure? There is one on the way to his school. Nope.

Target? My MOST FAVORITE store in the whole wide world? Nah, Just spent 2 bills there on Sunday and the only thing I still need is my haircolor (which they were out of). Can't justify it.

A Nap! Yes! I could catch up on my perpetual sleep deprivation! No, not enough time.

The car veered off the exit towards Aidan's school.

We drove home, him sucking on the lollypop I had saved for him. We walked into the house, just as he said "cute top Mommy"

It is so nice to come home early.
