Chocolate

I finally figured out why my mom loves chocolate so much.  My kids have been less than pleasant today.  We were over at a friends house and had to leave because Caroline was throwing such a big fit and hitting me.  Then once she finally calmed down at home Devin decided to start whining, crying about how he had wanted to put the crackers on the table himself and in the process spilled half of them on the table/floor.  Its like they were playing tag with who can throw the biggest fit.  That's when I thought. "wow I really need some chocolate right now."  And then I thought of my mom who had six kids and her love of chocolate.  And I'm sure it is somehow related to the fact that I'm sure we were pretty awful some days and chocolate made it just a little better.  I"m pretty sure by the time I'm done having kids I'm going to love it even more than her.  It really does make me feel better.  And in case you were wondering Graham totally wins the favorite child award for the day.

Chocolate is an Elixir of the Gods, found by the Mayans, perfected by the Europeans, and taken to new heights by Ethel and Mrs. Cavanaugh!!!

Glad you found about it!!!

Amen. I ate way too much chocolate this week when Abby threw countless tantrums and stripped her diaper off at the store. Chocolate exists to keep us sane.
