I never thought this day would come and so i was ill prepared. I am now officially on my own. My kids are grown and i am shopping for one. Just me. Funny thing, i went to Costco for groceries. I wasn't thinking, but as i began putting things in my cart i realized, wait... I can't eat all this. Usually life gives us changes gradually, we get more kids and buy more groceries, gradually. But this was so sudden and not gradual. I am buying for one, I don't need 4 pork roasts just because they are under 20 dollars. I don't need a whole watermelon, or extra large sea salt. I am adjusting, and re-thinking the food shopping experiences to come. Just one.. it is a sad day in many ways. I have raised my kids. They are on their own. I am on my own, and as tough as it could be at times being a single mom, I wouldn't trade it for the world. I am so glad i was so present in my kids life, it was worth any career sacrifice, or financial struggle. I love you Jenna, Davis and Danen, you have blessed my life in un imaginable ways.

We also realized a point in life where we were shopping for only 2 and decided that Costco groceries were not that relevant for us anymore. Life adjusts. Sometimes we are a little behind the curve.
