Yesterday evening, The Man of the House walked in from work and handed me a grocery bag. As I peeked inside, my heart filled with gratitude and love for this man I married. Having read yesterday's blog post, he stopped on the way home and picked up a six pack of Coke (in the white cans - more on that later) and a bag of Hershey's Kisses with almonds!
Was it simple kindness in him that inspired him to refill my chocolate stash? Or a sense of self-preservation after reading my rantings? Either way - he calmed the hormonal, chocolate crazed creature in me. And for that, I am grateful.
I do feel compelled to confess that later in the evening, he also found the missing Kisses - which had been moved to a different cabinet from where I had been hiding them. There weren't actually gone, just misplaced. Which I fear makes me look even crazier. And I'm pretty sure there is suspicion amongst the natives that I am just trying to be sneaky and obtain surplus chocolate for the stash. And while, I assure you that is not the case - it is a bonus.
But I digress. The point is simply this: The Man of the House brought me chocolate. He tamed the chocolate beastie. And I am a very, very lucky woman!
