I'm afraid my kids eat way too much junk. Maybe I could make those cookies and fool them into eating something healthy. Also, one time my then-2 year old, licked some kind of liquid off the floor in a mall. I still cringe everytime I think about it. The good part is, she's almost 14 now, so it must not have affected her, unless the sassy-bad attitude stuff is caused by mystery-liquid drinking?? I too would like the recipe.

Sheets, sewing, pillows (two king, three regular), duvet covers, pen and pencil sets, little black purses, small people playing soccer, the Bobopedic, duvet covers with a HUGE rose on it, psychological disorders of the family, problems with the postal service, friends with pneumonia, estate sales and healthy cookies, but not one word about toothbrushes. See, I listen. And then I sleep well. B-) You did not mention anything about toothbrushes in our last conversation.

I mean, it's not like the chocolate chips leach out the health value from all the other ingredients, and it makes the kids happy (OK me too). I would love that cran-banan-etc recipe though. Knowing I would add chocolate chips to it. I just make healthy cookies and then throw in the chocolate chips anyway.

I think my kids would be pretty happy and also maybe wonder what happened to their mom. Although my very favorite chocolate chip recipe has oats in it and oats are healthy. Maybe I'll convince myself that the oats counteract the chocolate and just go ahead and make them with no guilt. I'd love your recipe though. I find my husband sometimes nodding politely and pretending to listen wehn I talk and then I throw in the "and then the house was on fire and the firemen came and we had wild sex" as if it fits into whatever I was saying. Sometimes he notices, and sometimes he is still nodding politely and pretending to listen. I'm pretty sure he didn't really hear it...either that or he would be ok with me having wild sex with some firemen.

I just found your website the other day and felt compelled to comment on this post (because so far there were only 6!) I _love_ the way you write; your wry observations on the daily STUFF that happens.. and the thought processes that accompany everything that happens with kids, and all the miscellaneous mundanities that pervade our family lives.. like decisions on bed linen. Love it. Can relate to so much of it! On losing stuff... my husband and I have this theory that lost things are very often always in the first place you looked. .. you just don't look properly the first time. Doesn't always work (still haven't found my sunglasses from a couple of weeks ago!) but it's always worth running that test!

And then I'll be embarrassed because I've just subjected a friend to the inane banter that regularly occurs in my head. Good luck on the whole pillows/bed thing too. I have faith you will make the correct decision, grasshopper.
