Sometimes I Need Things Too

Today we went to the store.

Aden got diapers and wipes, and we bought a minimal amount of food (mainly things Aden likes to eat).

After that, Richard got beer.

Know what I got?

I got upset. Because of what I wrote about yesterday (how I barely eat so that Aden and Richard can eat), and because I really really wanted my equivalent of beer. After the last few days of temperatures near 30 inside, I need a cold drink. But no, Richard couldn't even buy me pop.

After bawling all the way home (okay, maybe the heat is getting to me), I explained to Richard why I was upset. I explained to him that I barely eat so that he and Aden can eat. I explained that I barely drink anything so that Aden can have the juice, Aden can have the milk, and I ... well I get to have the dryest mouth in the world. I'll drink water, if I'm dying of thirst ... but, like a lot of people, it's not my first choice.

Richard said I should've spoke up. I knew what would happen if I did that -- he would've got mad because we're broke. Even so, he got beer -- shouldn't I get something to quench my thirst too?

Ugh ... he went to the bank (I think) to take care of some things ... and he took my shopping list. I certainly hope he comes back with something to satisfy me from the heat ...
