No More Cookies in the Cookie Jar. Updated!

Do you remember that game growing up?

Who took the cookie from the cookie jar?

Krissi took the cookie from the cookie jar.

Who me, couldn't be. Brent took the cookie from the cookie jar.

Eventually you run out of people and say. "No more cookies in the cookie jar."

Well at my house I have two very cute cookie jars. After I get home from work today I will prove it to you. However, with this whole not eating sugar non-sense I have started there are no cookies in the cookie jar.

Yes it is the Christmas season and SOMEBODY decided that eating no sugar was a good idea.

Who was that somebody? Somebody remind me, oh yeah, it was me.

Well regardless of whose idea it was. One result has been, "No More Cookies in the Cookie Jar."

So here is my big, big, big question, I need your help.

What do you put in a cookie jar. When there are no cookies?

Krissi took the cookies from the cookie jar. Yes it was me I admit it now what do I do?

The Before Mentioned Cookieless Cookie Jars

Isn't he cute don't you just want to eat some hot chocolate and a snicker doodle cookie, right now?

While taking his picture this guy told me that he is in need of some sugar cookies. I told him that I really liked the tangerine idea. He said that he really like the idea of some sugar cookies. Maybe I will have to invest in that mousetrap idea.

You all have made some great suggestions. However, I have to say being as I have a huge bowl of tangerines and there is nothing my family likes more this time of year then oranges. I will have to go with my friend from Denmark idea and use them for tangerine storage.

I was going to suggest sugar free candies, but if you're reforming your eating more snacks won't help you! So I'm out of ideas now..

Put a mousetrap in there, and hope that you remember your sugar diet before you dive in for cookies.

Put all the tangerines in there which can fit. They smell and taste good :-) And in Denmark they are the definite smell of Xmas.

You can do what Ron had always wanted Sharon to do with her candy and cookie jars, put carrots and celery sticks in them. Then you'd have to put it in to fridge.

I love the tangerine idea. You could also put christmas scented potpourri or pine cones in it. I'm sure it wouldn't taste very good; so it wouldn't be a temptation.

I say puppy cookies. Then the jars are used for their intended purpose, you wont be tempted (unless like my brother you have sampled Milkbone and enjoy them [and yes, he really ate the Milkbone brand dog snacks]), and your dog will love you even more!

However, since you have already setteled on the tangerine idea, I suppose my suggestions are moot. --Gosh, I hope that is a proper spelling of moot... how sad that I can't even spell 4 letter words. And no, that wasn't a comentary on my inability to spell curse words... I can spell those like nobody's business. And yes, I know that it isn't proper to beging sentences with "and." Shoot, now I am rambling...

I was just browsing other blogs. And do you know what I like about yours? I like that you're real. I just read one that was all like "and then I fed the baby, and then I read the scriptures with her, and then I made scrumptious candies for the ward party, and then I got dolled up for my husband..." I almost barfed on myself. I like that you are real person.

Oh, and these "other blogs" are not anybody we know. It's a girl from high school, who has apparently turned into the most perfect Mormon wife on the planet.

At my Age

I saw this quote the other day and had to smile. It has been interesting finishing school at my age. I have had this feeling more than once that I am a little old, and finishing school is something I should have done a long time ago. Usually I remind myself that we all have our own paths to take in life. My path had me marry at 19 and become the mother of four beautiful rug rats by 27. Marriage and children defined me more than anything. I became more aware of my talents and abilities. I really didn't know who I was before I became a wife and mother. Waiting until now to finish my degree gave me time to figure out who I am. Well, at least to have a better idea of who I am. I love being in a classroom, I love learning, and I love helping others learn. My inner nerd does little happy dances every time I learn something new. Each person on this planet has their own God given talents. We have a responsibility to find our talents and to make the world a better place. How old you are wh...

Stepping Up to the Plate

This is going to be one of those braggy, braggy post just thought I would warn you. Life has gotten to the point that it is completely out of control. I’m not really sure what we were thinking when we had four children in the span of six years. I also don’t know why I thought it was difficult when they were small because life now is, as I said, completely out of control. Everyone is at the age that they are involved or doing something. Our nights have become logistic nightmares. Pick up here, drop off here, go here, and stop here. It is craziness. Added to this insanity is the fact that we are currently a one-vehicle family. A couple of months ago as I was signing Al. up for basketball I was desperately trying to talk H. out of playing basketball. He has only wanted to play since he was four and every year he would remind me how many more years until he could play. Why, oh Why did I not say he had to be 16? Eventually, I gave in and signed him up knowing it was going to be tough to fit...

Registered! What Have I done?

I'm just home from the gym. My legs are shaky, my shirt is sweaty, and my muscles are loose. Saturday, I biked almost 30 miles on a hill before getting off the hill and finishing up at 35 miles. This morning I went for a nice 70 minute jog. (Legs are not HAPPY!) Last night before going to bed I registered for "Little Red." Paid my non-refundable registration fee. Needless to say I'm what you would called, "FREAKED!" Holy Cow what have I gotten myself into, a 100 mile bike ride.  Do you know that this ride will actually take me out of one state into another and back. Does that sound insane? Who gets up and says hey lets ride our bikes to that state over there and back? I think I have officially lost my mind. How does one know for sure if they have lost there mind? Short of registering for a 100 mile bike ride. Do you know people do these all the time? They do them for fun! Maybe that is the definition of insane. Well what is done is done and I have 16 weeks...
