3 bowls of cereal...and LOVE

Disclaimer: This post was written weeks ago. :)

I'm titling my post 3 bowls of cereal because it is 9:30 on a friday night, the kids are in bed, and I'm snuggled on my favorite recliner chair eating (you guessed it) my 3rd bowl of cereal. Ok, by the time I'm writing this sentence, I'm actually on my 4th. Cut me a little slack, I'm eating out of a SMALL cereal bowl..the kind you take along when you go camping. I'm sure you are at the edge of your seat wanting to know what kind of cereal I am partaking. Plain old boring cheerios. No honey, no sugar, just me, cheerios and a little milk.

I grew up on cereal. Not for any reason other than we enjoyed cereal. We ate it for breakfast, ate it for a late night snack, we ate it when nothing else sounded good, we ate it because we had nothing worthwhile in the refrigerator. Well, I am still carrying those habits and thanks to grocery stores like Winco that sell cereal for half the cost than other stores, it is now affordable. I'm not sure why I was inspired to share my enjoyment of cereal with you..ALTHOUGH,

it does remind me of the role it played in "snatching" my husband....
It was a youth night and Donnie (now my hubby) was acting like a jerk towards me.

ok...maybe a bad choice of pictures...he does look more like an axe murderer right here, but you get the point, I felt like he was treating ME...

innocent ME

 like a jerk. (Never mind that it was because of how I was treating him) Anyways, it was about 10:30 at night and I was stewing at home because of the way he treated me that night. He was moving back home (to Indiana) in a few days and I knew I had to make a move before it was too  late. So I called him on his cell and asked if he would come over for some CEREAL and talk. He agreed and WHA LA...11 years and 3 children later...

we still got it going on...oh, and I'm STILL eating cereal late at night.

WOW, it is amazing how I just intended to write about "cereal" and now I'm writing about the beginning of my relationship with my husband. So I guess I will say

CHEERS to CHEERIOS!

You've met the needs of my hungry tummy many times and most importantly, you were there for me on the night I stopped playing hard to get and "snatched" my husband.

Till Next Time! :)
