If you haven't heard of Monster Cookies, let me share this goodness that is actually the only food I eat until dinner more days than I should probably admit. But hey, they're full of peanut butter (protein), oats (good for breastmilk supply), and chocolate (YUM). Who could complain?
There are many, many days where my kids do not give me the opportunity to sit down and have a meal. Often times I am not even able to wait for a piece of bread to toast before I'm dragged away and forget the poor, sad toast until it's a goner. Cold toast? No thanks. But these monster cookies (once baked) are perfect to grab and eat while bouncing a baby and answering (with my mouth full all too often) "Mom, what is this?" that my toddler repeats at least 10,000 times a day. I have become a master at eating things over my daughter's head. I have dropped a few pieces of lettuce, noodles, and jelly on her though she has yet to complain. I figure it's a fair trade for the many, many things she'll wipe on me in her years to come. Her brother showed her how that works today when he proceeded to rub his peanut butter covered face all over my shoulder. Thanks, honey! These babies, as demanding as they may be, are my dream. Now my dream is my life. How cool is that? Maybe I didn't realize just how busy they would have me. I surely didn't realize how exhausting it would be to love two tiny, demanding people so much. I wasn't prepared to have all my attitude (and then some) bottled up in this blonde little version of my husband. Saying "no" to those puppy dog eyes will always take more will power than I knew I had in hopes that he doesn't grow up to be a Veruca from Willy Wonka.
