It’s a first world problem. I realize that. I am privileged. I also realize that. But last week I was a little miffed and it revolved around feta.

I had been working long days at the AAUW Book Sale and dinners were sketchy at best. I was pretty tired when I got home so one night Chris and I had agreed that we would get dinner from our clubhouse since it was a night that the grill was open late. I gave him my order in the morning before I left so he could email our order ahead of time for pick up. My favorite salad they serve is a Mediterranean Tri Colored Quinoa Salad. It comes with feta but I always ask for no feta. I reminded Chris of that and left for the day.

When I came home I met him as he was headed to clubhouse to get our food. I came in the house, took a shower and by the time I was done he was back with the food. I opened my take out container…..FETA.

Now if you love feta that is fine with me but I don’t. The simple fact about feta is that it is crumbly and impossible to pick out of a salad. Believe me, I have tried. Which is why I always request no feta.

Apparently Chris requested the dressing on the side (another must for me) but forgot to say no feta.

I was miffed. More than miffed. I don’t usually get miffed. But combine the tiredness and lack of sleep and the appearance of feta on my salad and it was about the last straw. I might have growled at Chris.

So public apology time to my sweet husband who was happy to place the order and go get it. I am sorry that I was so upset over feta. I know it isn’t the most important thing in the world but at that moment it was and I negated the kind gesture with my grumpy attitude.

I looked back with a clearer head this week and tried to put my feta experience into perspective. I guess it is a reminder that into my life some feta will fall and I just have to learn to roll with it. Lesson learned.

What lesson have you learned this week? Any feta type lessons? I would love to hear about it. Make sure you leave me a comment and Comment for a Cause for Uvalde Victims Relief Fund.
