The Little Things

Oh, the small delights of pregnancy! As I gimp along like an aged athlete (with the middle to match that of most former greats), I have to delight in the small victories in life. This evening my pleasure comes in the form of some berry TUMS.

Don't get me wrong--TUMS have been great for a number of years. Great enough that I've developed a preference for the mixed berry boxes. There's purple-blue berry chalk, purple-pink berry chalk, and a Pepto pink berry chalk. All of these are FAR superior to the original TUMS non-berry flavored chalk colors.

Anyway, because I am ensuring my future bone strength and that of Little Man, and because foods I love no longer love me (onions, garlic, spicy sausage!! oh, spicy sausage!!), we have invested in the double-wide of TUMS bottles--complete with 200 tablets. With so many chalky little delights to choose from I am able (for the time being) to choose four tablets that ALL MATCH! I can select the flavor of my choice and don't have to mix! Imagine the pleasure that simple choice can bring and you might start to see where I'm coming from.

It's a small thing, but... seriously, with all the random little pains I've been having, matching my TUMS makes for a GREAT end to the day (not to mention that this means I get to have a baked potato with EVERYTHING on top)!
