Jonathan let me sleep while he got the boys off to school. About halfway through the morning routine I heard Jon exclaim, “All right, boys! WHO got into the frosting last night and LEFT A SPOON on it!!!!!”
My kids were falling all over themselves in denial that it was their doing. I was seriously tempted to let my 10-year-old take the blame.
Instead, Jon got a sheepish peep from the bedroom, “It was me honey. “
You don’t want to know the reaction. Suffice to say, he had plenty to say about a 32-year -old mother who sneaks frosting in the middle of the night and considers letting her children take the blame for it.
It didn’t stop me craving its cold, thick, vanilla YUMMINESS, though. I ate the last scoop this afternoon. “Ate” is a kind word. I scraped every last bit out and then ran my finger along the inside to ensure I got every delicious morsel. Picture those movies where you see users picking up the last cocaine flecks from their snorted lines and then rubbing it on their teeth in and you get the idea.
I want more frosting.
Sigh.

I would’ve let the kids take the blame!

Does Jon know how many women across America get up late at night and snack? We’re “sweet” whores. We have to. It’s the law.

P.S. You can so totally tell, in the pictures with Kerfloppy, that you’ve lost weight. You’re a little skinny Minny! Seriously. You look really, really tiny.

I was thinking the same thing as your twin, Ms. Tunes. You’re going to shrink up and blow away. I think you should eat some more frosting!!!

I can totally relate…
I used to actually COOK a batch of chocolate frosting (my mother’s top-notch recipe), then eat it all myself!!!

I tried to email you, but am not sure that it went through. I surfed over from Kerflop and saw your comment about eating three bites and being ‘Full’. As a former suffer of an eating disorder, please be careful. I am not saying you have one, but there are some warning signs here and you do look pretty thin. It alarms me that someone your size would think that they need to lose weight. It is just something to think about.

I think I am the only person ever to cop to eating a whole tub of frosting and then be asked if I had an eating disorder.
I suppose I could have bulimia, but truly? I vomit more than enough when I’m pregnant, so the whole spew thing just doesn’t work for me.
You are not the only email of concern I have had. I did get yours (I think) so please don’t worry.
I don’t have an eating disorder, pinky swear! I only ate “Three Bites” with Kerfloppy because I was nervous, yammering non-stop and I had surgery a decade ago that makes me eat a lot less.
I promise that I am not really that thin- I weigh 152.9 lbs to be exact. At 5′8 that isn’t exactly delicate.
I am really thankful that people would be concerned enough to ask, though!

I’m glad you didn’t get offended. The three emails were all from me, but it kept saying your email wasn’t allowed so I sent from different addresses. Sorry about the confusion. Since you are moving from Blogger, I’m not going to set up a formal account to comment if that is ok? I’ll catch ya when you make the move to Wordpress.

No problem. I have a lot of readers that never comment because blogger sucks.
Thanks for letting me know that three were from you. I can handle two people misunderstanding, but FIVE was just a little too weird for me.
Heads up, though. If you signed your email it would help distinguish what from what. Just a hint.
Thanks for caring n’ stuff…

But when 50lbs of that weight is saline solution, you need to deduct boob weight from the equation. =)

Mmmmm. Frosting. I’ve eaten it straight from the container on more than one occasion. I swear. We are mirror eaters. I’m liking the Betty Crocker fluffy white frosting. Yum.
And I agree with LL2, you look really skinny in your pics with kerfloppy. Woohoo! Go you!

Ok, Alex, my breasts are not THAT big!!!!
Though, I have often wondered if they would come in handy if I was ever involved in a perilous water situation and I was without a floatation device…

“In the event of a water landing, the Loralee located under your seat doubles as a flotation device.”
