Busted! (Twice)

Well, it's been a slower week this week than we've had. Thank the GOOD Lord for that! :) Janice was transferred to a rehab facility closer to home and she's much happier being there. So since she's happier, her rehab will go much smoother, we believe. We're just glad to have her out of Barnes.

The other night, I was fixing supper (which was late as usual!) and C kept saying, "Mom, I'm just soooooo hungry!" I kept having to tell him it was cooking and we'd eat soon. Well, while I was cleaning up the kitchen (while water boiled), I was going to put up the peanut butter (still out and open from lunch...oy) and thought, 'hmmm, a spoonful of pb sounds good...'. So, I grabbed a spoon and licked it clean, put the lid on and put the pb up. While the rest of supper finished, I walked to the living room to cuddle with the boys and C (who was sitting by me) says, "Mmmmm, I smell peanuts! Where are the peanuts??" GUILTY! LOL I just said, "Don't know...." Busted, first time.

Well, yesterday afternoon, we went shopping for groceries. B was so concerned that we were low on syrup (even though we haven't had pancakes in several weeks!) and make sure to find the syrup at WM. See, they like Mrs. Butterworths (at least, they like the bottle) and always want that. Well, I refuse to continue paying that price for basic syrup and have just been refilling the bottle we have with Great Value brand. So, B walks up to me in the store with a Mrs BW bottle and I say, "Oh, please go put that back...I'll take care of picking out the syrup." So when I walk by that part of the aisle, I grab the GV brand and stick it in the cart. So later last night, I have the non perishables on the island (just never made it to the pantry) and B sees the new bottle of GV brand on the counter and says, "OH, MOM! You got the wrong one!!" Busted, again!

Just goes to prove that I can't outsmart my kids anymore. Gone are the days when I can sneak one over on them. Gone are the days when I can grab a snack when my sugar gets low without them catching me and then wanting something themselves...normally something unhealthy. Those days are GONE, my friends...and GONE forever!!! :-(

Oh, well. Probably better for me anyway. LOL

We're home this weekend for a much needed rest and relaxing time to get things done here that have been neglected. I know, doesn't sound very relaxing. But believe me, it will be. :)

Better hit the sack!
