Not just any ol' DCFC...oh no, I like 'em big (44 oz.) without any ice to dilute and a couple shots of cherry and vanilla. Ummm, my husband laughs at the cups I have around the house. A person can tell if I've had a less-than-stellar week when there is one in my bathroom for water, one in the boys' bathroom for water and one or two stashed in the kitchen. Not the best week, 'eh? Despite the lack of caffeine, it gives me a little high. Carbonation? The stolen indulgence? Whatever, it works for me! :)<br /><br />Probably a good thing I don't partake of alcohol. If I get a rush from drinking DCFC, I'd probably be the one dancing on the tables and throwing my clothes off, with even a little tipple.Alabama Appleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03238707597299794714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917958974113278408.post-23297487563766201382011-04-06T13:34:20.246-05:002011-04-06T13:34:20.246-05:00Lucky Charms. I like a good bowl of Lucky Charms ...Lucky Charms. I like a good bowl of Lucky Charms (that I guard with my life from my marshmallow-fiend-of-a-son). Usually lock the kids -er, put them down for quiet time in their rooms and enjoy a bowl . <br /><br />oh and candy too (chewy sprees, sweettarts, skittles) and when things get really rough I combine a bunch of my favorite cookie ingredients and enjoy (both dough and baked).Aubreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00694477516723299655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917958974113278408.post-80372370835873642682011-04-04T20:15:17.608-05:002011-04-04T20:15:17.608-05:00First off, I am a Mormon, too. Secondly, I sometim...First off, I am a Mormon, too. Secondly, I sometimes find myself wishing I could take the edge off with a nice cold drink as well, Whitney. :) Maybe it stems from the fact that my Grandparents have made their own wine for years (they are not Mormon), and I love the taste of it when it is used in cooking. I don't know. Since I don't drink alcohol, I turn to chocolate in the afternoon. My secret? Put the 2 yr old down for a nap, put on a movie for the 5 yr old in my bedroom, and find a good HGTV show on my DVR to enjoy in peace and quiet. :) Bliss...<br />Today, though, I put a movie on for the 5 yr old in the living room, and took a nap/cry in my bed. It worked pretty good.Sheffer'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01795527832648829079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917958974113278408.post-68721712066967327572011-04-04T19:37:20.822-05:002011-04-04T19:37:20.822-05:00Funny, funny!

Imagine my disappointment when my only birthday wish was for a clam and enjoyable day and it was washed.down.the.drain! <br /><br />My favorite indulgence is chocolate! I mean, COME ON, I'm a woman, and what woman doesn't like her chocolate. I usually indulge right about nap time, when the kids are finally down and I know I'll have just a few minutes (usually only 30) to my very own self. I grab my stash of chocolate, plop down to watch my recent show and zone for that short period of time. It does indeed take the edge off and I feel like I can take on the kids once again when they wake up screaming from their naps (which does happen on a daily basis, not sure why).Caldwell Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317191311739200724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917958974113278408.post-84984615296928387872011-04-04T19:23:12.715-05:002011-04-04T19:23:12.715-05:00Ohhhh, you are too. darn. funny!!

Well, I often try to get out of the house. I'll take the kids to the park or play-land. Then I can let them play and I have a moment to just sit and zone for a second, then I usually call up my sisters or mom. If I can't leave the house I will often call my mom or sister still and escape to my room. If I'm not on the phone I will grab a book or the internet, sit down with a favorite treat and just indulge for a second and/or until there is blood, screaming, tears or destruction (or any combination). Often I just need a breather and then I feel like I can manage a bit longer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
