Don't send...

... a pregnant woman to the store on a milk and egg when there is a bit of extra money in the grocery budget.

She will not only come home with milk and eggs, she will also come home with Dove ice cream bars, Oreo cookies, French vanilla ice cream, and ice cream cones.

She will walk in the door and cry out (10 minutes before bed time), "Who wants ice cream?" in a voice loud enough to carry through the house and excite everyone.

She will ask follow up questions such as, "Am I the only one having ice cream or does any one want to join me?" just to make sure everyone is nicely riled up as Daddy and daughter come running down the stairs with Daddy doing what he can to rile up daughter even more, just for fun.

And then she will give the three year old sweetie her own Dove bar just because she can, ensuring a nice sugar high as reading time is ending, but every once in a while, you have to do something silly, just because you can, just because your family is there and you love them.

So no particular reason for the treats, just love my family, and if you have to make a milk run, you might as well make it worthwhile.....

(Oh, and all splurge items were on sale, and the budget has been maintained).
