Isn’t marriage all about sharing or something?

Like, isn’t that in one of the rule books?

While it took me a while to come to terms with sharing all of my things with another human (only child probs), I’ve finally come around.

I thought it especially applied to simple things like the household groceries. I mean, we buy these with our joint funds. What’s mine is yours type thing, right? APPARENTLY NOT, PEOPLE. Ya girl was aboard the struggle bus tonight figuring out what to whip up for dinner seeing as all the blog meals I made this weekend vanished before my very eyes in mere hours. My options were really limited. I trolled through the freezer looking for some frozen veggies to bring to life. I saw a lil bag of frozen sweet taters & thought AHA I will mix this with some black beans, cauliflower gnocchi, carrots and an avocado. Because isn’t that immediately what you would think, too??? Anyways, it turned out p good, I was proud. I’m nomming away when Garr, digging through the freezer goes, “Where are my sweet potatoes?” ………

And now I’m gorging on the communal peanut butter that he also eats every night and we’re down to like two bites left & we have three more days until grocery day. Selfless love.
