Sisters,
It's been a busy day. My oldest is turning 7 next week and her birthday party is this Friday. I'm not a big fan of birthday parties. All the hyper, craziness that comes with the party is sometimes more than I can handle. Not to mention the treats and cake that will be lying around during/afterwards. This should be an interesting weekend.
Anyways, like I was saying it's been a busy day. This is how is all panned out...
After dropping my oldest off at school I took my middle child to the skate park so he could try out his new skateboard before hitting the streets to stalk the stores for party supplies. Starting at Nutters, before going to Superstore and ending at the greenhouse. That was my morning. After rushing home for a quick lunch and a shower (because I couldn't get my butt out of bed early enough to do so before going out this morning) me and the two youngest headed to the Doctor's office where we spent the rest of the afternoon before hitting up the pharmacy to fill a prescription for my baby, and then returning to the school to pick up my oldest 10 minutes late. Getting home from school is always a welcome event because it usually means a little down time...except on Wednesdays when my oldest and I have piano lesson from 4 to 5. Upon returning from piano I made supper and then the lot of us worked in the yard until bath/bedtime at 8:00.
Twelve hours later I finally get a break. I'm tired. It's been a busy day. I sit next to Trevor and he turns and says to me:
'I know this is bad, but I really want a blizzard right now.'
O NO! I think quickly before responding....
'I've been wanting ice cream all day'
because, truly, I have.
'What kind do you want?' he asks.
How do I respond to this?
I can't possibly turn down an opportunity to eat sugar guilt free can I?
'Oreo', I say quickly
and then wish I had more will power.
Then it's over. He's gone.
I'm justifying my love for sugar in my head right now:
'But, it's been a busy day and a Blizzard sounds so good.'
'Trev's going to eat one, so I can too.'
'He asked so it's all his fault.'
'I just won't think about it and then I won't feel guilty.'
'With my baby being sick she's been nursing more. I've nursed out at least the amount of calories in a Blizzard today for sure.'
When Trev gets home I'm going to eat my Blizzard....and I'm going to ENJOY it because, it's been a busy day and Trevor just had to ask.
Have a great night everyone.

Must have been a blizzard night. Rob went out to a meeting, and surprised me with my favorite blizzard when he got home. Since it had been a long day, I too just justified eating it, especially since it was a surprise.
ReplyDeleteIf all else fails, you can always toss out the left over cake. I had to do that with the rest of Samantha's so that I wouldn't just sit and eat half of a 9x13 cake all by myself. Just a thought.
Husbands are the worst tempters. Cam is always coming home with a bucket of ice cream. He tells me that I don't have to eat any, but yeah right, like I am not going to eat ice cream that is sitting in my freezer.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the thought on the cake Crystal. I'll keep it in mind this weekend. Glad to know I wasn't the only one indulging in a Blizzard last night.
