First thing this morning
“Let’s go to Sam’s Club.” Howard said.
I looked up from my breakfast, startled by his statement. Go to Sam’s club together? But what about the children. I’d need a babysi…the children are all at school.
My stunned silence lasted only a moment as I wrapped my head around this new aspect of my life. I can now go to a store, on a whim, with Howard, and without first arranging babysitting.
“Sure. Let’s go.” I replied.
With a sense of playing hookie or sluffing school, Howard and I abandoned our business tasks to run off to the store together. We didn’t buy anything exciting, just groceries, but the trip was symbolic of this new phase of life that we are entering. Just being together was fun.
