Manipulation cookies

The family has figured out how to get anything they want from me. They learned this and used it against me last night.

Everyone knows my baby girl is expecting and since the day she told us about it I have quite literally given her and/or done anything she wants. She is spoiled like that anyway being pregnant made it 10x worse.

Last night all the kids came for Sunday dinner and some pumpkin carving, while trying to get dinner on the table she says "do you have the ingredients to make some cookies?" Of course I do was my answer. And I started mixing up cookies. Because baby wanted cookies baby is getting cookies.

After getting some cookies in the oven we got ready to eat dinner and Stephen comes walking into the kitchen and asks "your making cookies for Brittnie? I said yes, he starts laughing Britt says "You are going to give yourself away." I am looking at them a bit confused at first then it hits me.

I have been manipulated. They figured out how to get whatever they want by sending my pregnant baby girl to ask for it.

Funny thing is...

I would do anything for any one of them they just have to ask. They had me though. I will literally drop everything I'm doing to do anything Britt wants right now. Don't get use to it sister come April only tiny baby will get that kind of attention from me for the rest of forever (or until I get more grandbabies)

So today after lunch I enjoyed a few of the manipulation cookies with a nice cold cup of milk.

Recipe for manipulation cookies:

Follow the printed recipe on the back of Toll house chocolate chips bag. (That's what I did)

Have a fantastic week!

I know it's been a while since I wrote maybe I'll be back again soon.

Thanks for reading.

18 already?

The reality of it really hasn't sank in yet I don't think, she still has one more year of school so that's probably why. My first born 18 years old. Despite all the reminders of her age from my sweet girl, it truly does seem like only yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital when all the sudden here we are just over 2 weeks past her turning eighteen, where did all those years go? I would love to be able to sit here and recount every single detail with you from the very start but that might bore you to tears and well she might kill me of I did that. Because I can remember lots of little moments that would embarrassed her to death like how she was so scared of everyone singing happy birthday on her first birthday that she hid under the table crying and didn't want to touch the cake we got her. Or of her and her bff having cupcakes in their diapers that nanny brought by after Cathy's party at school when they were only one. Or of her and t...

Midlife crisis? Nah, just having a little fun.

I guess that is what some people call it when a guy nearing (ever so close to) 40 goes out and buys himself a shiny new (or not so new) motorcycle. However that thought never really crossed my mind when Stephen asked to buy one off a guy he works with. I wasn't thrilled with the idea, not because I thought he was having a midlife crisis, but because I thought there were plenty of other things we could spend our money on. I said no. We always talk about big purchases and agree when or if we spend the money. I was sure this thought was settled and we would not be the owners of a motorcycle anytime soon. Stephen had other ideas... Stephens toy He made the decision to get the bike (it really was a good price, I guess) and well now we are that crazy old couple that rides around on a motorcycle every chance at nice weather we get. Here is a bit of history...My dad had a Honda gold wing when we were little (I was like 13) he and my mom wou...

it's been a minute

yep, since I posted anyway. This is just a short sweet post, to let you all know that I am still here...It has just been a little busy spending time with Stephen and the girls, taking a mini road trip with Steph and Rita to Texas (crazy story) and so much other stuff that I haven't made time to sit down and write anything. I have a couple of things in the works though so don't give up on me. Something about farm animals, another post about Chuck(s) and a few other things. I haven't really made any time for quilting, bag making or anything crafty in a bit either so I gotta get on that (I miss it). Check back often to see that yes I am still alive and well, just busier than normal (and my normal is pretty busy) Have a great week ahead hope to write for you all soon.
