A Necessity of Life

As I mentioned in my last post, our water cooler has become a necessity in our life. When the little "water bottle blinker" comes on to warn us that our water is getting low, we know that exchanging the bottle moves from the bottom of the priority list to the top. The rate of which it moves to the top of the priority list is where my husband and I differ.

He must get a new bottle almost immediately because it cannot get down to the very last drop. Me on the other hand knows exactly how many glasses and bottles that I can get before it goes completely empty. This is very similar on our "filling the gas tank" philosophies. He is a half tank kind of guy, where I am pulling into the station on fumes! I guess this proves that there are more than one means to an end because our little man really doesn't care when the bottle is exchanged for a new one, as long as we can fill his sippy cup with the cold water and get the oatmeal made quick with the instant hot water.
