See that's why you hide the extra box of Thin Mints in the freezer.
I subscribe to this in theory, except that I have never, EVER managed this step:
Eventually you forget they are there

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm fairly certain I know where ALL sugary snacks (and, in truth, the bag of sugar) are at all times. I would NEVER forget about a box of Thin Mints. Num.

This is where being really forgetful comes in handy! More importantly, the KIDS forget they are there after a while and I'm home free!
Also, please note these are extra cookies, over and above the "regular" cookie purchase.

I'm getting the pig!
I've woken up out of a sound sleep at 3am and thought, "I think there's chocolate in the house. I need to find it."
Seriously.
Hiding sugar in the house and forgetting about it? Ahahahahahahahaha!

Trust my rage
My take was that I got more sleep when the boys slept with me. As much as I dislike sleep deprivation it made a lot of sense.
This was my main reason. Lack of sleep was the one thing I really feared. Plus she's really cute and snuggly.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Em gets in with me at 5am when Joe leaves for work. Unless she cries for more than 5-7 minutes in the middle of the night. She just...she thrashes and headbutts us. Or she wants to play. She doesn't always sleep when we bring her into bed with us. So mostly, she's in her crib.
Also, I am terrified of smooshing her.

Tep, any particular reason why you shouldn't call your Umfriend? If not, I say go for it.

You just described most nights for me.
Oxygen channel is showing The Secret of My Success, and while the 80s fashions and hair and makeup are atrocious, I actually forgot how cute Michael J. Fox is. *SO* cute.

Not really, except the had-a-few-drinks-now-I'm-calling tactic seems kind of....sleazy.
