(This picture has nothing to do with this post, but I just think they look adorable.)I realized today that I have gone there. A leisurely stroll past the kitchen table stopped me dead in my tracks. I saw a half-eaten fig newton abandoned on the kitchen table. And like a good Mom, I popped it right in my mouth.
At that moment I claimed my status as the scavenger of the home.
Mommy scavenger will eat pretty much anything off of her kids' plates. In fact, it has gotten so bad that I find myself getting impatient when I watch them chow down on their Happy Meals. I just want them to quit dilly-dallying around, eat, and let me at the leftovers. Even worse is when I pick at their french fries so much that when the meal is over they are still hungry.
Not my best moment.
OR
How pathetic is it when you use your kids to get an extra couple of samples from the Sam's Club sample lady? Then when you round the corner, you convince them that they don't like tiny quiche.
Pretty Pathetic.
Or how about when they get treat bags from birthday parties, and you ration out the candy to them, and then secretly indulge when they are in another room?
Check. I've done that too.
My worst indiscretion, however, is probably hiding in the basement, so they won't ask for bites of my food. What?! You mean you have never wanted to selfishly devour your own cookie.
Well, I have.
Many times.

hahaha! i have done all those things, except i don't have a basement so the bathroom had to do! i tell myself i just don't want food to go to waste. :)
you're boys are so handsome.
You're not alone, sister. Sadly, you're not alone.
Bahahahaha! This sounds like me. In fact, I'm eating Wheat Thins right now that I've snuck without anyone seeing!
ha ha! This is so funny! And I thought I was the only one! I didn't know it was a diagnosed illness. Except let's rename it. Let's put it under the heading of "being frugal." That makes it sound alright.
Also, your boys are so dang cute! I want Cyrus' little arm rolls for my next snack.
Oh man, that is such a sweet picture. I don't know if it's because I have my own baby, but honestly, seeing little babies makes me tear up.
Wow, I feel so much better! hahaha! I have hidden from Connor so many times so I don't have to share. And Halloween candy......what's that? If you ask Connor he wouldn't know, b/c I hid it....ALL....and have successfully eaten all of it. That's bad.
There comes a time when a mom's gotta eat! Sure you do all these crazy things (and I do mean crazy) but how often does everyone get a meal and we don't! Or at least part of one. I say you are not a scavanger but just a hungry momma. Or at least that's what I tell myself when I'm in my bedroom eating graham crackers and milk.
