The Five of Us, Spring 2014
Aaargh!
I want a Coke. We have none. I want a Toaster Struedel. We had some. Until 2 hours ago when Aaron fed the last one to Pea. I want chocolate. All we have is chocolate chips. Oh. No, we don't. Aaron ate them all. ALL OF THEM! I wanted wine with dinner. Aaron drank it all. UUUUUURRRRRRGH!!!
"So, Aaron, how are you going to satisfy me now that you've spoiled all my plans?"
"Ummm... I could make you some toast and jam. And, we do have some of the struedel frosting left. That's kinda like a Toaster Struedel, right?"
"GROSS!!! No, it's not the same." Sigh.
"Oh, yeah, you're so deprived, you poor thing."
Hmmm. Yeah, so I just posted this afternoon about my precious little girl who was so malnourished the first time I "saw" her and mere hours later I'm in a funk because I can't satisfy my cravings. Pretty pitiful. So, thanks, Honey, for the attitude adjustment. Can we go to WalMart tomorrow?
