The Stash - Truth and Consequences

The blog has been going unupdated because, of course, it's been a little crazy in the past week or so as we ready for our trip, but that also brings me to this....

I mentioned in the past my love of a tasty little chocolate wafer. Not having another source for them but the "GEWA" store at work, I realized I was going to be without my daily fix for quite some time. I seriously thought about going to the GEWA and buying their entire supply - probably around 40 packs at the moment (at 45 cents a pack that's $18), but I couldn't do it. It's what I really wanted to do, but I embarrass easily, it seems. Which is really pretty stupid, because what I did do was buy 5 packs of them, and I still had to explain myself because this was noticably different from my normal purchase each day. Why not, then, buy the entire box? Going back now to buy the rest would require further explanation. This is just not something I can do.

So, five packs. One for today and, I thought, one for each of us for the road. Max, Emmett, Bek and me. Well, really, I thought, one for today and one for me for the next four days. I'm not so great a husband or father as you thought. My saving grace is that I get to feeling guilty pretty easily. So one for me for today, and one for each of us on the road tomorrow it is. And I still feel guilty. Once thought, you can't unthink it. So five packs. One gone already. One for Bek. One for Max. One for Emmett. One for me. And one confessional post for all.
