This is a post, giving moms everywhere, the right to indulge when the time feels right...
Say... your kids are napping or watching a DVD...
I say GRAB the moment... get that box of Choc Chip cookie mix, throw it in the oven, wait 12 minutes and stick 2 huge scoops of German Chocolate IceCream on top, followed by whipped cream and chocolate syrup...
If your husband is smart, like mine is, he will always make sure to have these ingredients stored in the house for moments like these-
Then... in your quiet solitude, put your feet up, on the recliner in the room where none of the kids are allowed to eat, and just enjoy every moment:) And make sure no kids are around... this dish is NOT for sharing.
Enjoy...
don't get me wrong, i love all (all!) of your posts that i've read so far (check the time stamp: so, SO many!) but this one...*sigh*
ReplyDeletei love chocolate (obviously) and i love that your hubby shares the responsibility of having these all-important ingredients on hand at all times (given), but what i love the most is the break that you've gifted to yourself and to others reading your wonderful work (like me!).
as moms, that's hard for us to do and to even claim as an everyday occurrence! so thank you and why yes, yes i *will* put my feet up, relax and indulge in something delish, thankyouverymuch!
excellent post! :)
