THE Mommy
Both are red. A coincidence? I think NOT.
These little red #40 sugar creations are definitely the work of the Devil. They are pure evil. Addictive as crack.
I can’t just let them sit in my mouth and dissolve. I MUST bite them and chew them up. I eat them until my jaw hurts.
They call to me…which would be fine if they lived in the grocery store 2 miles away. I wouldn’t be able to hear them. But NO, here they are in my kitchen. On the counter. Calling me. Taunting me. I am weak.
Why are they in my house? you may ask. My husband either thought I needed a little sweetening up or he is having major male PMS. Maybe a little of both. He bought them yesterday along with mini Twix bars and presented them to me like flowers. He doesn’t play fair. He can eat that crap and not put on any weight. Or at least he wears it better than me.
For future reference, flowers wouldn’t make my jaw hurt, give me cavities and make me gain back the weight I lost in Aruba.
Another work of the Devil, Valentine’s Day, is what caused his recent purchase. The good cinnamon hearts only come out around here this time of year and there was a VDay candy display. He was a victim of holiday marketing.
I know that the obvious Valentine’s Day gift of choice is jewelry, DUH. But, if you had your choice of candy or flowers, which would you prefer? Or are you one of those who doesn’t believe in Valentine’s Day?
When I was just dating my husband, he would say that he didn’t need to be told to be nice to me one day a year. He showed me he cared every day. Refused to celebrate on February 14th. I was disappointed the first couple of years. I always love a reason to give and get gifts…well, mostly the getting part. I got used to it after a while…and we were nice to each other back then.
Well, we’ve been together for about 11 years and married for almost 7. We have 2 kids and 2 dogs and 2 houses. Times have changed. We’re not that nice to each other every day. Crap, better start thinking about how to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Any suggestions?
