-aholic?
Today I spluged and went to MCD's with my friend & her kids. (Our kids met for the first time, and we were thrilled they hit it off instantly) And I drank a diet cola and then refilled once.
Later on, I felt aggitated about small things. Anxious and crabby...but I chalked it up to the little sleep I got.
Later on, hubs relayed a conversation with my MIL to me, about something I am particularly rebellious in receiving criticism/unsolicited advice about.
And I was LIVID.
FURIOUS MAD.
There are just SOME things that no one should be giving unsolicited advice about...even when they mean well.
While I replayed the converstation in my mind I furiously cleaned house. Then, I decided I needed to get some things from the store... and mentally stomped out of the house. Stomped through the store, and frowned at everyone. I was in no mood to make nice with anyone. (To the bagger who was kind to me even though I was frowny, thank you.)
Then I remembered the diet cola.
And remembered why I am trying to cut back.
While the conversation with my MIL was irritating and out of line...there was no reason to be that upset about it. She does not have a mean bone in her body. She wants the best for us, and I realize she's trying to help. And while I'm not going to take her advice, I realize that my reaction is out of control as well.
*sigh*
That's gonna be a tough one...because sometimes I just crave a good Vanilla Coke.
I have found recently, though, a pretty darn good alternative...
Sam's Choice American Clear fruit drinks.
Really tasty water. With no Nuttin' in it....especially sodium.
Yay.
And they're affordable.... 2 for a buck.
But sometimes, there ain't no subbin' a coke.
*sigh*
