A Mom's Life

Random Mom Thought of the Day....



I am now clinically addicted to Mini Nilla Wafers.  

Not big Nilla Wafers and not Vanilla Wafers, only Mini Nilla Wafers. Somehow it matters that they're smaller.

It is the one kid treat that knows my name and sings it longingly, like a snack Siren sitting on the edge of the little plastic bowls in my boys' hands.  

I don't like Goldfish or Ritz Bits, and you can keep your Oreos and Ding Dongs. 

 But those Mini Nilla Wafers may require a stint in mommy rehab.  



Have a "Random Mom Thought of the Day", or a kid snack that you buy more for YOU than them?   

Please share!

Okay, I'm off to carpool, (with my baggie of snacks...shhhhhh).

I personally can't stand Nilla Wafers, but I never say "no" to an Oreo. Why is that I tell myself that they're a special treat for my kids, but they never see half of them? Who am I kidding? :-)

I hear you, mande. I have stopped buying Oreos because I can't stop eating them. So what if my poor kids miss out, right? Lately I've been into cheese -- string cheese, cheddar cheese, every kind -- but they have to be those individual packaged cheeses. Craziness I tell you.

Sometimes I feel like one of the best things about being the mom in the equation, is that we get to go to the store and buy anything we want.

And no ever says "not today honey".

(Oh, and how much do we love the manipulation of emotion, as we look our kids in the eyes and announce that today they get to pick something out of the ice cream freezer; and they look back at us like we're the next American Idol, clapping wildly and yelling " Mom, you rock!")

It might be contrived appreciation and love, but it's love nontheless.
