52 photo project | week 14 | chocolate

Somehow chocolate has become a part of my everyday. It use to just be a Sunday thing, but has quickly turned into an everyday craving. Honestly I don't think a day goes by that I don't have a piece in one form or another. Today it was these m&ms, yesterday it was a bite of Bella's snickers, and the day before that it was 2 squares from a ritter sport dark chocolate bar. mmmmm my mouth is watering. I do prefer the premium stuff, but some days, like today, I will take whatever I have on hand.

I tried to get off it when I stopped eating sugar a few months ago. Remember? The first few days were so so difficult, but slowly I was able to ween myself from the everyday treat. In all that time what I figured out was that I missed it and there wasn't a good reason not to have it. After all a little bit never hurt anybody. So now I'm back on & happy as ever.

Are you a chocolate lover too?

my 2 month addiction

During March and April I have just come to accept that my hand will be dipping into the candy dish several times a day. I admit, I have a problem. These chocolaty treats are perfect for popping which makes them dangerous to have around. My only saving grace is that they're only around for a few months. So I indulge while I can and thank Cadbury for making me smile daily.

this girl of mine...

must be stopped.














For the last little while I have found miss megan in the pantry munching on whatever she can find. First she would sneak the cookies down at her level and then every now and then would go in and take a few. I figured out she was doing this when I noticed the cookies were on the lower shelf. So it seems this week she has upped-the-anti and gone for it. Now she just hides in the pantry and eats. When I have lost her the first place I go to is the pantry and she is usually there. I even found 2 binkies sitting on the lower shelf.

Yesterday morning adam and I were talking in the kitchen and we heard a strange crumbling sound coming from the pantry. She was in there door ajar with the lights off eating cookies. It is so hard not to laugh we you see this. She is very ashamed and repeats "sorry mommy" over and over with her hands over her eyes. We have found her with crackers, cookies, and chips. This morning I found her in there with an entire bag of chips. These pictures are from a few days ago when I found her in the pantry eating only the chocolate out of the EL fudge cookies.

Ok, so I am not fool. I do put these good things up higher, but for some reason (reasons I don't know yet) she has been able to get them anyway. I am lost for ideas of how to stop this, I mean I really do feed her all day long so I know she's not starving. I must say I really do get a kick out of it. When I find her in there it is this weird emotion of laughter and frustration. But lately it has turned more into frustration as I don't want this to be a habit. I am willing to give her what she wants I just don't want her trying to hide it. Any ideas?
