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.

Wonderful waste of time

I tried to warn you that I had so much to tell you... So We have been spending so much time at the hospital with my dad. I mean we were all there for several days (now we are taking turns-he's doing well and we had to go back to work). And you know how it is everyone brings something to keep them busy so that they can ward off boredom. Well Val had been using one of those round loom things that you can knit hats and such. She had made herself one and while there her knitting caught the attention of one of my nieces (Katie) and she wanted to know how to make one for herself. So Val being excited to show someone sat down with her and gave her the loom and some yarn and helped her along. That girl made her whole hat. She loves it and wears it everywhere already. Before we knew it Haleigh was in on learning to make hats. They were having such a good time knitting away while visiting with their papa and all his company. ...

A new year

Ugh! I have started and deleted this blog entry more times than I care to admit. :) I have so many things floating around in my mind that I want to write about that I keep jumbling them all up on the page and they are not making sense to me so I am sure you will not have a clue what I am saying...babble, babble, babble... Anyway maybe this one will work for us all. The new year. 2012 Wow. I am getting so old, I don't ever recall thinking this far in to the future when I was a kid except maybe when I watched movies with flying cars and hoovering skate boards and such thinking it would be neat to have a flying car. but here we are still living a pretty normal life without all that stuff. I chuckle a little when I think of all the things I enjoy, these things certainly don't "fit" the year 2012 as the movie writers would write it. Because I don't want a flying car, I think it would be fun to ride a horse everywhere or have a covered w...

My baby girl

found this pic, not sure but I believe she was 3 April 12th (yes i know it is the 13th now)...This date in 1999 we welcomed into the world our sweet baby Britt. She had a bit of a rough time in the first week, but wow look at her now. She is 12. Cant believe she is already almost a teen. (yuck) We were so spoiled with Val that when Miss Britt came along she set our world on edge. Thats right, she was quite a mess(not sleeping throught the night even to this day she sleep walks) But you wouldn't meet a sweeter, kinder girl. She has the biggest heart. Ive been thinking alot about her today with reason, it was after all her birthday. She got to bring her horse to our pasture this week inlight of her day, so she didn't really seem to mind that I had to work and she had a softball game on her birthday. As long as she gets to play with Ladybug alittle before the day is over. She is now fast asleep in her bed(for now)...
