Yesterday - I had the distinct pleasure of spending time with just TWO of my three kids. I dropped Brooke off at the skating rink for an hour of coaching and ran out and picked up a refrigerator.
Haaaa - I just said that so casually, huh? Kind of like running out and picking up milk? Actually YEA - Lowes is right near the rink. I just walked in, looked at every refrigerator they had, found the one I liked best, ordered it, paid for it and was back at the rink in an hour. (If only "other" things in my life could go as smoothly...) So anyway - that's JOY because I can't WAIT to get my food in it!
3 years ago, when I was washing one of the shelves of my current fridge, the whole shelf literally exploded into a zillion pieces of tempered glass - all over me and my kitchen. I was finding glass in the kitchen for months. Needless to say, it is not fun having only 1 true shelf in your refrigerator. Food literally gets lost for weeks. And you know what that means...UGHHHHH.
I am certain I will feel so much more organized and
inspired once I can see all my food!!!!
So after I picked up my daughter, I said to the kids, "Lets go get some italian ice (It was 97 degrees out)!" My son yells "YEA!!!!" and my daughter
whines says, "No - I don't like italian ice or snow cones or popsicles. I want to go to Dari Serv in Durham!!" (Who the hell's daughter IS she, anywayyyy?) My response was, "No, no, no - they have ice cream too. You can get an ice cream." What I really meant was "No, no, no - if we go to Dari Serv I will surely get a sundae. Italian ice is so much less calories and fat..."
So we went. Michael got Watermelon, I got Grape and Brooke got Gelato. "$8 please." Wow! Ice Cream is cheaper when you only have TWO kids! (Roll my eyes.) We get to the car and everyone is quietly eating their treat as I pull out and I realize - "ICK! This s*cks!" Don't you know it came out of my mouth!. Could have sworn I only thought that... Then Michael says it (well - he didn't say the "S" word...) and then Brooke started
whining complaining about
her ice cream.
Now I'm bumming. I mean - if you are going to cheat on your "diet" it has to be good! So I threw mine away after 2 bites. And then I'm feeling really deprived and muttering under my breath.
That's it - WE'RE GOING TO DARI SERV, damn it!
15 dollars later (ROLL MY EYES) - everyone was heading home, happily licking away.
PS - I resisted a sundae! JOY JOY!!! I had a huge scoop of pistachio and an even HUGER scoop of peanut butter brownie. JOY, JOY, JOY! (Pretty sure a sundae would probably have been LESS calories...I'm such a loser.)
