You want to know why??? Because I do!!!

Well, I really LOVE my kids!! Do you want to know why??? Because I do!! I really, really do. No, this week I especially LOVE them because they took some delish treats off my hands and out of my way of tempting me every time I come into the kitchen. Aaron and I teach a Awana - Cubbie class at our church and around Christmas time as a way of showing thanks to us, parents bake us these yummy treats for me to take home and it causes me to gain weight just by looking at them. No, no- I'm joking, really but it sure does feel like I gain weight every time I look at something with the first ingredient being sugar. Well, my way of not gaining 20 lbs in a day is just not to keep those yummy treats in my house. So my kids loved me extra this week, because they helped me ....I mean I let them eat the baked goods I received this week. I took one bite of each thing and then I let them finish the rest and I had to get rid of it fast other wise....I'll be as big as a house. I'm very grateful to feel appreciated but I also have to make wise descions and not let some of that deliciousness stay in my house for to long. Well, downside of this story is I will be continuing today to bake my own cookies to give out by Sunday to all the LOVELY teachers who have been taking care of my kids this year. A way that I show thanks to them, I will be using splenda, if that helps!!! :) Let's see if my will power is strong enough to keep me from eating them all before Sunday. I will be needing prayer.
