Krispy Kreme Party
In a moment of weakness, and needing the numb ourselves of Caroline's constant neediness, we put the kids to bed early last night and had a Krispy Kreme party. Actually this is something we used to do much more often than I'd like to admit (but it was also when we were working out a lot more). Yes, Duffy went out with my six requests and came home with an assorted dozen. We zoned out watching stupid shows on television. About 40 minutes later they were gone. Incredibly, I slept great but woke up ready to run six miles (and needing to finally bust out the maternity clothes). The sad part (besides the maternity clothes) was this morning when Owen saw the empty box on the stove and said very excitedly, "Hey Donuts!" I had to tell him that it was just an empty box, even though last night I was very close to asking Duffy to get a sprinkled donut for Owen. It was gluttony that led me to deny my bright-eyed little guy even a single donut. I felt very guilty.
And yes, Caroline is still tortured and torturing. I'm reading Anne Lamott's "Operating Instructions" though and it helps me to feel a little less crazy.
