The other day I was lamenting the fact that I didn't have any ice cream in the freezer and money isn't exactly free-flowing around our house. Not that I need ice cream, mind you. Anyway, Friday night I went to bed before N got home from work because I had to get up early. Well, we have this alarm system on the house and whenever a door or window is opened it beeps three times. We have a keypad in our bedroom which means the beeping is loud and clear in there. I was half awakened by the beeping and was vaguely aware of what was going on. I heard a plastic bag rustling and the freezer open and shut. I will admit that even in my half-asleep stupor I was slightly giddy at the prospect of there being ice cream in the freezer. I fell back asleep almost immediately, but the next morning I did check the freezer. I saw the ice cream carton...Dryer's Loaded...and then there it was. PEANUT BUTTER CUP! Does my husband not know me? I mean, yes, I love peanut butter, but I do not like peanut butter cups. The peanut butter in those things is just not right. I knew I should be grateful; he was trying to do something super nice for me. So when I saw him I was semi-gracious. I happened to be holding M at the time and so I told M that daddy tried to do something really nice for mommy. N vowed never to buy me ice cream again.
Fast forward to today after church. I got home and was getting ice water for the kids. I opened the freezer and there it was. Rocky Road! One of my many favorites (I can't pick just one). You should have seen the smile that crept on to my face. Thanks, N. You're the best!

Hey just be glad that he thinks about you when he is out. My husband has a real hard time with that.
ReplyDeletethat is the funniest thing ever. Are we women such brats when our husbands just don't get it right? haha. I am the same way and should be more grateful for his efforts.
ReplyDeleteNow I am sitting here alone in my house and I want some ice cream!
Too funny! Isn't it hard to be appreciative of their nice effort when they just don't get it quite right? : )
ReplyDeleteI too prefer Rocky Road to Peanut Butter cups!
I have learned the hard way to be very gracious for everything even when I'm totally not. Otherwise, I would never get anything. Wait a minute, I don't... Hmmm... I think I've scared hime out of doing anything in combination that he always has a good excuse not to do something when I ask him. I get so tired of, "You don't like the way I do it anyway." While this may be true, if I didn't want him to do it I wouldn't have asked him to do it. Does that make sense?
