I went out to the grocery store on Saturday with my family. I lived. Things aren't perfect, but they are gradually getting better. I still don't think I could go out somewhere alone yet. I'm working on it. Baby steps. I didn't have the chance to be nervous at the store because with the five of us it is so chaotic that there is no time to think about anything except "get food" and "get the kids out of here as fast as you can". There were also a fair amount of cruisers in the area. I counted seeing at least four between our house and the store.

Tomorrow my old man turns 30 :) I would go on and on about how he went from a young boy to an old man through the course of our time together and how nostalgic it all makes me feel, about all the things I miss from when we were kids and about all the things that I love about him more as years go by, and about how proud I am of him and all his accomplishments, but he has heard it all because I tell him all the time.

Instead I will just remind him that no matter how old I get, he will ALWAYS be older! neener neener :P And if he is lucky I will have my workout shoes on when he gets home :)
