I said YES...

when the clerk at Thrifty Foods asked me if I needed help out to me car.

Even though I only had four bags of groceries, and even though I was only parked four feet away from the entrance. And it wasn't because the clerk was cute (although he was!)

I said YES because I am learning that I don't have to do everything like the miss independant I don't need any help super human m0m of three that I previously imagined myself to be.

As I started my car, with my groceries neatly lined up in the back I felt like I'd gotten away with something. (Sort of like when it was my turn to do dishes as a kid and I managed to hide out in the bathroom until somebody else did them for me.)
