Classy, yes?
Desperate, yes?
Well, a mom has to do what a mom has to do to get herself through the last day of her husband's absence for 6 out of the last 7 days (5 for work- each a 24 hour shift, 1 for golf), doesn't she? Now I am not advocating heavy drinking or anything, and there is no need for an intervention, but the fact that Target's wine section has increased since the new store opened in our area a few years back has got to speak volumes for it's demand. Mommies need a little wine sometimes, and what better place to sell it than the store that will single-handedly turn your cherubic children into raving lunatics?
There are two choices.
Wine, or chocolate, and Target sells both.
It is no mystery that shopping with kids and wine consumption is closely related, and probably documented by the people who market the stuff. And that's okay by me, yes it is, because nothing takes the edge off this solo parenting gig and puts a slight, albeit crooked, smile on my face than sitting down to watch "The Incredibles" with my kids, and a little glass of $7.99 a bottle Lulu B Pinot Noir . . .

I hear ya girl! Just this weekend I was told about Hypnotic. Have you heard of it? Sounds like something I could drink when I need a little escape.
Your Target sells booze! Am SO ENVIOUS.
But happy for you because YEAY!
Hey! Screw tops are the new vogue among winemakers! It makes the wine less volatile! AND cork is becoming a tree-in-trouble! So you were just doing your part for the environment AND the purity of the wine! ;)
Ahhh, wine to ease the whine...good chioce!
Ahhh the power of wine and chocolate....gotta love it!!!!
wine is less fattening. i especially love target's box wine. i mean, wine in a box. who'da thunk it.
You and I are together on this.....while I love both of my children dearly...dealing with them on a daily basis does increase my need for cocktails! :)
I wish the Targets in Delaware sold wine.
I'd be the mommy you'd see pushing the heaving cart with two wee lunatics, and chugging the bottle of wine as I'm walking through the store.
Yup, that classy lady would be ME :)
There is no choice... wine AND chocolate! The Target stores in Rhode Island sell only the chocolate, so we need two stores for this pleasure!

My Target sells booze. =) Makes me haaaaaaaaaaaapy! I heart Target. I love the label on that wine, too. That would make for a fun gift!!
Just enough to mellow us out, that's all. And you're smart, you let your kids watch an engaging show so you can enjoy the wine and the relaxing moment even more.
oh man i can't say how many times i've glared at the wine while shopping!
Throw that bottle over here, woman. School shopping DOES drive you to drink.
