Sweet

Yes, I went cold turkey on the sugar thing. But after the first couple weeks I did start eating some sweets again. Some. Usually only in social situations. If I’m at a party and I’m offered a cookie then I will probably eat it. I couldn’t eat three dozen even if I wanted to so that’s a safe situation and it doesn’t get out of hand. I don’t buy sugar for myself though. I don’t buy treats for the kids and I don’t allow them in the house where all H-E-Double Toothpicks can break loose if someone isn’t keeping an eye on me. Let’s face it. I’m an addict and I always will be. It’s especially difficult for me since I haven’t been attending my meetings. And you folks are no help at all. I know you’re at home reading this while you’re shoving peanut M&M’s in your mouth. Snickers? Brownies? Ok, now the truth is out. I’ve been eating brownies tonight too but I only did it for you. See this lovely photo? I made these just for you. Now if only you were here to share them with me so I don’t eat myself into a brownie coma. Tomorrow it will be detox all over again.

Guess what else I did today? I installed latches on the kid’s secret door so now they can lock each other out of their rooms. I’m having visions of one of them getting mad and kicking the door down. Maybe I shouldn’t worry about it. Just because that’s something I would have done doesn’t mean my kids will do it. The kids and I also cleaned the entire house. I didn’t want to do it but they begged so I said, fine, but how come we always have to do what YOU want to do?

Have you visited Mental Tesserae yet? She has an amazing blog. When I grow up I want to be as smart as she is. For now, I’ll teach her how to spell words like D’oh, and she can explain to me exactly how to schplake someone.
