I hid from my kids today.

Cocoa Pebbles caused me to do it. That's right, I poured myself a GIANT bowl of cocoa pebbles and hid from my children. When it comes to food, nothing is safe or sacred. I knew that if I didn't hide myself and my fantastic bowl of cocoa pebbles, my children would swoop in like crazed vultures.

I played the whole scenario out in my head. Judah would most likely crawl up in my lap begging for a bite, "Mamma, what is that?" he would say. "Can I have a bite of that?" And then would come Zoe, she's the worst. I knew that when she saw my bowl she would try to crawl up my leg like a monkey, screaming "eh, eh eh!!!" the whole time (that's 'give me some!' in her little language).

So, I did what any cocoa pebbles loving fiend would do, I hid. I stood in the door way of my kitchen, crunching my cereal as quietly as I could. The kids were none the wiser. Success!!
