my sacrifice
i’ve been a mom for what 8-ish years now and the one thing that i still struggle with is sacrifice. this morning, i was making a ham sandwich for myself to eat at the office – 2 half folded sandwiches is how i like it. AG started to hawk over my sandwiches and had that glazed look on her face like she was channeling her *be mine now* thots.
as the mom, i sensed these feelings of longing-ness and asked her if she wanted one. she jumped and said yes and my head just exploded in a loud DAMN IT! she only wanted one half but my routine called for 2 halves so i was not about to bring the other half to the office – i’m just anal that way. So i kept it in the fridge for her to indulge later.
i’ll say it again … DAMN IT!! i was planning for the sandwiches from last night. i went to sleep with the thot of having a shaved ham sandwich with my cuppa this morning as i check my email. i could almost taste the ham in my mouth.
Damn it, DAMN IT!!

So annoying ... your entire blog is in small caps (including the beginning of sentences) except for 'AG' + 'DAMN IT'! And yes it serves the purpose of emphasizing your level of annoyance.
Now I want a ham sandwich - preferably toasted complete with cheese... can send one over my way?
There ... I've now officially commented and have reclaimed my spot of #1 commenter on your blog.
How about erm, making one half specially for her and keeping the two halves for yourself?
I know what you mean! My mom makes all these crazy sacrifices for me and I can never imagine having to do it for someone else...
The power of motherhood.

BJL ... i miss you too babes.
no comment from you.
just that you're a great mum.
At least the kids don't steal your stash of rum balls from the fridge when you're not looking.
Had a bacon and cheese melt sandwich toasted yesterday for dinner. Didn't have to share mine. Can you tell I'm so not mum material? You softy. Even if I stared at your sandwich you'd offer it to me. That's why I love you.
*stares @ bacon + cheese melt sandwich*...
erm...
so any chance of some of that coming my way?
and if you are making one for DG, send one over too *drools*
keep staring hunny, it ain't coming your way.
Afternote - I just got my craving for chix sandwich c/w avocado and salad leaves fixed. Colleague at worked just happened to offer me the said sandwich yesterday at work...
Talk about fantastic timing... or maybe it's just cosmic... :D
