Hey all
so I had my first addiction - I mean pregnancy craving - today. I call it an addiction for many reasons. First, I have never been addicted to any kind of drug or anything like that and for some reason I always have thought that people who were, were just weak minded to let anything control their thoughts and body that way - boy was I wrong. Let me explain...
So my husband and I walk into wal-mart to get a few staple things bread, milk, etc. I was pushing the buggy when I happend to turn to the right and see them....3 huge bins of peaches. Now I have never been a peach fanatic by any means of the word. On a normal day I probably wouldn't have even noticed the problematic peaches. I digress - I saw the peaches and in that instant I had to have a fix. I had to have a peach right then...not later, not tomorrow, right stinkin' then...If I didn't get the peach in my mouth that minute I was going to hurt someone (probably Tommy). Somewhere in the back of my head there was a voice that was asking questions like "how can you eat it if you haven't paid for it yet?", "You really should wash that before you eat it", "Is anyone watching?" All logical questions that normally my brain would process, answer, and then tell my body how to proceed accordingly. Today - not so much. I imagine this is much what an addict feels when they need a fix...nothing matters just getting the luscious peach. My white knuckled hands gripped the cart and I was trying to make my feet move away from the peach bin - when it happened. I noticed to my right a middle aged woman approach the peach bin with her plastic bag. She picked one peach, then another, and then.......her nasty greedy man-hands went in for MY PEACH! I can't really remember what happened next I sort of blacked out I remember some shoving and a few unkind words from somewhere. The next thing I remember Tommy is putting me safely into the Car with my peach....boy was it good.
