Toilet Paper

So, hubby and I have been arguing over toilet paper. Normally, I buy this toilet paper. It has lotion and aloe and vitamin E in it. I didn't mind at first. When I first started buying it, it was around 5 bucks for 6 rolls. More expensive than the others but my hubby doesn't ask for much. Well, the price eventually crept up to about 7 bucks. A few years more and you couldn't just get 6 rolls, you had to buy 12 rolls and it was $10. Well, money was tight last week so I bought some cheap toilet paper just to get us through but I told him I was no longer going to get his toilet paper because it was too much. He threw a fit and demanded I go get it. I said no. I felt empowered having so much control over the comfort of his butt.

On another note (this will eventually tie into to the first part of the story), I have been doing very well on my "lifestyle change." I am not going to call this a diet. It sounds negative and diets don't work. Also, thank you very much to all that left comments and suggestions. I appreciated that very much.

Anyways, all week I have been watching what I eat, drinking lots of water, even no Dr. Pepper. A friend called and wanted to go to lunch Friday. Eating out is probably my biggest weakness. This time was no exception. I blew it. Big time. I didn't beat myself up though. Until supper. Hubby and I got Mi Pueblo, one of our favorite mexican restaurants.

After dinner my stomach let me know right quick that it was PISSED at me. You see, after eating healthy for a week and then dropping all that very unhealthy food on my stomach was bad news. Let's just say I made more than one trip to the bathroom over the course of the evening and into the morning.

I am now, as quickly as I can dress myself and the kids, on my way to Wal-Mart to get the aloe and vitamin E toilet paper. My rear end can no longer endure the John Wayne toilet paper. You know, "rough and tough and don't take shit off no one."

That toilet paper must be from Texas;)

Ya know, a wise man once said, "There's some things you don't go cheap on. You don't buy cheap guns because they blow up in your face, and you don't buy cheap toilet paper because it makes your butt hurt."

That would have been Brandon.

If that's not karma, I don't know what is!!! LOL

But way to go on the lifestyle change. That's definitely the way to look at it. Baby steps over the long haul.

Too bad we don't live closer together. I'd totally go walking with you. :)
