Christmas Carbs

13.
13 is the number of cookies I have eaten this afternoon to a) try to get rid of my migraine headache and b) attempt to keep me from going insane from myd 4 insanely wild, whining little monster people.
So far, it has helped the headache a little; mainly because my stomach is now hurting more than my head.
The kids have been banned to the basement, which is quite large for 4 little ones to have all to themselves, however they are literally playing on the stairs and crying and fighting right there. If you've never been to my house, you wouldn't know that it's a glass door, so it's like they are sitting on my lap giving me, my headache and my sugar ladened stomach, the finger. I would yell at them, but if I'm getting up, I will most likely head straight to the kitchen for another cookie and probably a shot of whipped cream. Not the vodka. The straight up creamy deliciousness that puts me in a better place for those 3 seconds of yum.

Today could, quite possibly, be a 4500 calorie day.

I'm not sure what it is...could it be the craziness of our recent trip to Disney, that hasn't worn off? Or could it be the upcoming 7th birthday of my firt born? Or the impending holiday celebrations that have them so excited? Not sure about the last one, as "Doctor the Elf" has been flying back to the North Pole every night with reports to Santa and my kids could care less. They are eager to find him in the morning, but as for attitude changes? Poor little elf is getting the finger too.

So, as of right this minute, I'm thinking that my kids are going to be getting coal this year. And not the messy, get black all over the place kind, but the chocolate covered coals, so that after they actually open all their presents that will most likely still be under the tree, I can stop with the cookies (written with a grin since at the rate I'm going, there won't be any left this evening) and make the switch over to chocolate.

Gotta love Christmas Carbs this time of year. Deckin my halls with it, that's for sure!!!
