I worried after posting it that my picture might be hanging outside the shop doors at my neighborhood mall with the warning- Do not sell towels to this woman! Thank you for the validation.

TOO funny. I laughed out loud at the bit about the soundtrack of your death. Also appreciated the mini-mall candle contemplation. I relate to this a LOT. A few years ago I took a full week of vacation time which had been sitting untouched in the vacation time bank in the sky; but didn't go anywhere, just stayed home with Thing 1, who was at the time about 18 months old. On the second day, I told my mom over the phone of all our wonderful trips about town, errands run, groceries bought in peace before 10 pm, no lawyers barking of deadlines and such and lamented, "Mom, this is great. I wanna be a stay at home mommy!" Knowing me all too well, her response was, "Umm, yeah. And what are you going to do NEXT week?" And she was right. It was wonderful in many ways, but by the time the week came to an end, I had an existential crisis in the frozen food section. I admire the women who do it. Tough row to hoe they got there. Great post. Just loved it. Okay, first of all, this was too funny. TOO funny. I laughed out loud at the bit about the soundtrack of your death. Also appreciated the mini-mall candle contemplation.
