Petunia rambles on and on….

On Wednesdays, I always pick up the fellows from day care, because their mom works until 9p.   Their day care is right on the way home, so I just zoom in, grab them up and we’re on our way.  The greatest delay is in buckling them into their car seats.  But this week the plan was varied a bit, for a trip to the local “home improvement” store.  Pop was on a mission.

The boys were put into a double-wide seat in the shopping cart, which initially was a great idea.  And they were fascinated by Pop’s running commentary on all they were seeing.  Or, at least, pretended to be.  Not sure.  How excited can one get over an electrical outlet box?  Pressure treated lumber?  Pop went around and around and never did find what he thought he had to have.

Boredom and hunger quickly set in, and the boys started fighting and smacking each other, letting us know we were far from the “City of Brotherly Love.”

Yesterday, on the way home from work, driving past the station where I usually get fuel, I noticed that the price had gone DOWN to only $4.01  (from $4.05 last week).  This station is affiliated with the nearby grocery store, and if you have their Preferred Customer card, you get an additional 3 cents off per gallon at the pump.

So that brought the price down even further – to $3.98.

If stuff is on sale, I always go overboard, whether I need it or not, so I bought a whole damn tankful. 

K and I both worked today, and Pop won’t be home until late.  We wanted a quick dinner, easy to fix, that the fellas would eat.  Neither one of us wanted to spend a lot of time in the kitchen.   We came up with several ideas, asked the boys, and made a decision.

GUESS!!!!!
