Was that a ghost?

Yes friends, I was that mom.  I saw Macy opening the refrigerator and didn't stop her.  I had the dishwasher three-fourths full and instantly weighed the pros & cons. Pros: whatever she was after in the frig would keep her occupied until I finished the dishes, no unnecessary stress on my ears.  Cons: While I am cleaning up one mess, she would be creating another. Question: Is this a pivotal point in establishing parental boundaries?  Quick prayer: Please Lord let this not be the moment of my parental demise. I chose the dishwasher.  All my women friends realize this conversation happened in less than 10 seconds in my brain.  With the dishwasher humming, I went to investigate.  She is truly flesh of my flesh.  Cookie dough before bed...

After church and getting the kids in bed, Tony & I made the snack for tonight's den meeting.  They were a big hit!  But then again, kids will eat anything!
