My Drug of Choice


I sit alone tonight after watching the kids all day. Mike left at 5:30 a.m. and has to work until 10:00 p.m. I call Mike at work. I neeeeeed something to make me feel better.

"You make the call," he says.

I call.

He sneaks out of work and calls me when he turns on our road.

I see the headlights approaching and run to the end of our dark driveway.

He rolls down the window.

I see it.

I grab it.

I tell him I love him.

I run back inside.

He returns to work.

...

A Chocolate Peanut Plus shake makes any day better.

Great post! I eagerly took my surprise 'drug/addiction' that was delivered this morning (also by my husband) with a "wow, I LOVE you!" -- Starbuck's pumpkin spice latte. Small pleasures.

I would be so fat if I lived near Ivanhoes! I don't have the self-control...I would be calling my hubby everytime I had PMS, rainy day, pre-PMS, post-PMS, bad day with the kids, bad hair day, etc...any reason I could think of!

I'm sure homecoming wknd is making life crazy...enjoy the festivities, I haven't ever made it back, don't take it for granted!

Great post! How sweet of Mike. I can't imagine living close to Ivanhoes. What a fun thing for your family! Our version is blueberry doughnuts from this tiny store that is only open in the mornings. They only take cash, and they know Jerry now because he is in there so much! If they go on vacation, they just close the store. So fun!

Have a great time this weekend!
