I FINALLY found it!!!!!!

Cue the Hallelujah choir, I found it!!! Hallelujah! What did I find? EVIAN! Yes, my "treat" of a bottled water has been found in two grocery stores in town!!! Let me tell you, it was just as I had remembered it. Great water. Good stuff. Would you believe that I wouldn't share it with Ty? True story. He loves to drink out of water bottles or anything that isn't his, but that is mine. Most of the time, I don't mind sharing, however, he is 2 1/2 and he is not good at making sure there is no backwash.

Ty and I each have our own cups with lids and the hard plastic straws. I even bought different straws so that we could distinguish between the two. He likes the one that turns a dark pink with icy cold water. A lot of the time, my cup looks way more appealing and he and I fight over the cups. Seriously. It's ridiculous and even more ridiculous that I am admitting that I "fight" over a fricken cup with my toddler. I drink out of mine all the time at home, so at suppertime, he sees mine and wants to drink. I try to distract him with his sippy cup, but he usually declines and instead of an argument, I let him drink out of my cup. I was horrified to see there were actually CHUNKS swirling in my water after his swig. Gross. I showed him the chunks of cheese in my water. (I have a disgusted look on my face as I type this, by the way) He now knows what it means when I tell him that he can't have a drink because I don't want chunks in my water. This actually works in getting him to step off my water cup.

The other night, we were eating supper and we had grilled burgers, bananas and chips and dip. For dessert, I served up some yogurt cups with bendy straws. Kind of fun to drink yogurt with a straw. Entertainment for Ty, that's for sure. When Ty was sick a few months ago, he wouldn't eat much, so I tried the yogurt with a straw, he loved it and sucked down a couple yogurts. So, there we all are, sucking on our yogurts and Ty says, "mine's not working!" He kept trying and trying, so I ended up trading him. He happily sucked the yogurt down from the cup formerly known as mine. Without much thought, I started to swill down the yogurt only to have to spit it out immediately. Brett is laughing, Ty is looking at me in disbelief. I couldn't help it. Brett asked, "did you have a nice chunk of something in there?" I reply, "not only was there a nice chunk of burger jammed in that straw, but it also had the flavor of french onion dip and potato chip." (I really wish you could see my face right now as I type this. I am still disgusted.)

Lesson for the day, don't share straws with people that don't know anything about backwash. You will regret it if you do.

Signing off for now, to all of you near and far and to those of you that now have an aversion to yogurt, until next time...
