The search has ended...but not with the happy ending

Finally, I have found that which I covet. Fred Meyer's, bottom shelf, far right, in the drug aisle. It's there. In all it's glory and splendor. "Did you get it?!" you ask? No, I did not. "Why?!" you say. Because I was shopping with both kids and DH. That shouldn't make a difference, right? It does.

Me: "Ohhhhh! That which I covet!"

DH: "What?"

Me: "Tylenol PM Golden Vanilla! It's here!! I've been looking for this forever."

DH: "Yeah, that's exactly what you need."

Me: "I didn't say I NEEDED it. I said I wanted it."

Megan: "Mommy, why do you want that?"

Me: "I don't know, honey. I just do. It's one of those mysteries of life."

Ian: "I don't think it would taste all that good."

DH: "You so aren't getting that."

Me: "Fine. I may not get it today...but I know where it's at. And it will be mine."

I admit it, I caved to peer pressure and left my beloved item at the store. I knew I should've held my ground, but I didn't. Lo and behold, guess who was looking for Tylenol PM tonight because he has a headache? That's right, the voice of reason (a.k.a. DH). We could've had THE BEST Tylenol PM EVER...instead he took Advil. Maybe I'm not so crazy now, huh?!

If it makes you feel better I had to have that item once too when it first came out. It tastes like poo! I like the regular Tylenol Pm Vanilla Caplets better. Since last summer, I have become a connoisseur of PMs ;)
