Tonight, while Zachary is inside practicing with his team, I am sitting in my quiet car...by myself...alone. I have no one asking me for a drink...or a snack...or to go to the bathroom....or for a snack for a person they met in the bathroom. No one is telling me theyre bored....or hot....or telling someone else-everyone else, that theyre bored or hot. I have no one crying bc the IPad died or because my phone has died because theyve been watching shows or movies for 2 hours straight despite my warnings that the battery WILL die. No one told the man who owns this place, that it smells funny....and then advised him to purchase air spray. No one (Ava) is running out into the middle of the field, in the middle of practice and so Im not dodging baseballs trying to grab her from the middle of the field only to have her kick me in the, well never mind where she kicks me just know that it hurts. Tonight...Im not sweating, anxious, exhausted, embarrassed or starving (bc I had to donate my snack after they started screaming when they finished their own). Im not scrambling for crayons, or pens or pencils or eyeliners for them to color with, and then providing customer service on the back-end when they complain that they didnt like the colors of whatever I found for them to use. Ive not had to apologize to the woman who leaves her bag open (every week) exposing a drug-stores worth of candy, when they (Ava) sticks her hand in to grab a treat. Im sitting here alone...quietly....and Ive almost memorized the ShopRite ad for this week and I feel like Im on vacation...in the parking lot. Im thrilled that all 3 kids are having a fabulous night and that my husband is home relaxing.....but NO ONE is having a better night than me....alone...in my car...in the parking lot. By the way grapes are on sale!
