• Preggo brain go boom

  I have to preface this entry with the following.

  My wife is a beautiful, absolutely brilliant human that I love very much.

  However, currently she has an ocean of hormonal insanity circulating through her system that I am pretty sure impedes her judgment.  She is still brilliant, but sometimes the hormones make actual decision making a little cloudy.

  We recently discovered that Meijer (grocery store) has an online deal where you can click on all of your food purchases and then just go and pick up your groceries.  That’s pretty cool.  It saves time and effort and is quite convenient.  Gwen did this and we both smiled.

  However.

  She also saw on that site that you can buy stuff in bulk as well.  I think that her normal mind and pregnant mind had a conversation and it went something like this:

  Gwen’s Normal Mind:  “Hmm, bulk items not a bad idea, at least for the food we eat a LOT of”

  Gwen’s Preggo Mind:  “Me HOUNGRY NOW, FEED BABY, FOOD GOOD, EAT, OOH, CHEAPER THAN NORMAL, GET FOOD!”

  Gwen’s Normal Mind:  “Indeed, I think getting some of this might be a good idea to save money, but certainly you don’t think we should get all of these items, do you?”

  Gwen’s Preggo Mind:  “ME LIKE CHERIO!  HUBBY LIKE LUCKY CHARM GOOD!”

  Gwen’s Normal Mind:  “Now you’re being rediculous.  Maybe some juice but you can’t possibly—”

  At this time Gwen’s Preggo mind attacked her normal mind with an assault of Estrogen, Progesterone, and Images of cute pink stuff with ‘princess’ on it that the Normal mind was rendered helpless.  Thus, we ended up with 14 boxes of Cherios, 10 large boxes of Lucky Charms, 16 large containers of juice, and one confused husband.  When it all came, we pretty much both started laughing.  It was substantially more than she had it planned in her brain.  But, on the bright side, I’m going to be magically delicious for a LONG time.

  

  Got milk?
