I cheated on my diet too. I ate a bunch of donuts!!
haha we wont tell :)
My kid does that too he always yells for me when his dad is standing there!!!
Eh, diet, shmiet. Go enjoy your cookies! Kids always call for Mom, I'll go with the idea that they just love us more. LOL
Hahaha! You crack me up! I bet your boy was disgusted with the vinegar! It's definitely only something you can choke down if you understand the benefits (How is that going btw?) Well, if it makes you feel any better, that cake I posted on my blog last weekend is... gone. My husband had one piece, and NO my neighbors did not come get any. I have totally been caught in the act sneaking treats. I feel so stupid when my hubby catches me LOL!
25 minutes is totally long enough! LOL enjoy your cookies!
I can just picture your sons face as he drank the vinegar... I still remember when my girlie tried to take a drink of the vanilla extract the second I left the room and about thirty seconds after I told her it tastes horrible... and it doesn't matter that it smells good...lol...
Thanks for dropping by my blog to say hi...
I'm with you on the movies in the car thing. We are not at that point yet, as we don't have a t.v. in our car, but I am constantly telling my husband that if we ever got a new car, I want one with an entertainment system. His family lives in New England and when our girls get older we want to roadtrip out there. He thinks they'll be content looking out the windows. I say yeah right!
I love my van too! I missed it so much when we traded it in for the stupid suburban... and I'm so happy to have gotten rid of that ugly beast of a truck and have another van again
ewwww. I remember we had that at our house and I could smell it when i opened the cabinet. ewwww.
Cookies don't count if your on a diet. lol
I have never tasted apple cider vinegar...Ill take your sons word for it!
Hope you enjoyed your cookies and have a few for me too! Dieting sucks!
fun to read. My younger daughter drank my glass of white wine thinking it was apple juice. I felt bad for her but her expression was priceless. She still today hates wine wine.
Anne-Marie
I'm telling! Just playing. Dieting sucks, so I'll keep your secret.
Kids do that... Kaylee will ask me to help her and her daddy will be right there... And I think he gets offended sometimes, LMAO!
ROFL @ the apple cider vinegar! How did the smell not tip him off that it wasn't apple juice?? LOL!
I get the "Are you gonna keep trying for a girl?" comments every damn time I leave the house. And I am NOT exaggerating.
You did well in letting him learn by himself that vinegar is not apple juice... ah, ah, ah.
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you will come back again. xxxMsBabyPlan. I am your new follower.
My kids hate to try anything, so I don't get to experience that sort of fun :(
They are the same way about wanting me too do everything and never ever ever asking their father without me telling them too, UGH
Hey - it is HIS diet... not yours! Enjoy the cookies!!
The vinegar thing is hysterical...I'm pretty sure my kids will fall for that too (although I'll probably be the one to suggest they try it b/c I'm evil like that)! You heart your Buick...puke, gag, ugh...signed, the Will Never Have One Mommy (j/k...I'm secretly jealous...I just act cool on the outside)!
You crack me up. I never thought I would be one of those moms who is interested in having a mini-van. Now that I have a little one, and I see all the bells and whistles that can come with such a vehicle? I think, hmmm, may not be that bad. I could totally be a minivan mom, too!
I almost hope that we end up having all boys...they might be harder to deal with when they are young but when they grow up I hear it is 100% easier!
I love a little tv in the car...even if we go to the grocery store...i am that kinda mom too!
Apple Cider Vinegar... Classic!
I am still opposed to the minivan...yep...I'm shallow like that. Not that we don't have one...I just don't drive it :) the spouse does. He's cool like that :)
You would have thought that the smell of the vinegar would have been enough to drive him away! I always hated coloring easter eggs because I couldn't stand the smell.
Hope those cookies were fantastic!
I eat cookies even when dieting. You just need moderation.
Oops - here you are trying to be good with hubs and I'm posting about donuts and egg rolls. Shame on me!
Hey, congrats on No. 1 slot today! Happy Post its!
"That is not a toy" is popular around here, too. I tried changing my name, but the kids still keep asking for my help, not daddy's.
I had good intentions of only having my kids watch the DVD's in the car on long trips too. That lasted maybe a day. The temptation of having those DVD players right in their faces does make it hard to say no.
or 16 .. works too.
eat a whole bunch k?
maybe it'll SLOW YOUR ASS DOWN on just dance
* still bitter *
lol
xoxoxo
supah
i love my van too.. i want something different but theres nothing better for a family
Now you've got me trying to think of what the most oft repeated phrase is at my house....
Lol!
Have the cookies.
I just came to say thanks for stopping on my blog earlier via SITS.
hahaha apple cider vinegar? Poor boy.
Cheating on your diet. Shame shame. I, for one, would never keep a secret staff of goodies in my library bag. What? I wouldn't.
I've been cheating since Friday...hoping to get through the day today with NO CHEATING! It's a bad thing! Enjoy the cookies!! :)
Go with Oatmeal Raisin - that can't possibly be cheating - their good for you! I mean whole grains and fruit!
Sending cookies your way. Well a basket. When I am done passing them out I will read your other post. Have a great day.
This is for a great cause and I hope you join in...
Happy Early Easter.

I cheat on my diet here and there :)
i can't stick to my diet.. i'm on a diet but it seemed that i gained more on my weight..sigh :(
I takes like 5 minutes to get to the school and occasionally I'll actually turn on a movie in the car. Too bad we can't even get through the previews before it's time to get out. :)
Yes eat the cookies! Fun read today. Enjoy your week.
I have friends that make their kids drink apple cider vinegar as punishment for whining.
Just throwing that in there.
Cute! I always love your Post It days! ;0)
And, to answer, your question, Yes, I believe 25 minutes is long enough. I said the same thing about the Ninendo DS in the car, but I've decided the ride to school counts as a "road trip" now and then! ;0)
Thanks for your comment on my blog ... you are always so encouraging!
My motto "why have one when you can eat the all box?" great post it:)
Have a great day!
Anat
You are so amazing. I just found your blog last night and you have me laughing. Thank you-there are times in the day when I just need to laugh.
"where are your pants?"??? hahahaha!
Yes, I can be sitting down, my husband in the kitchen and my kids will still ask me for a drink. What???
Too funny! It is true. They will torment us with Mommy, Mommy, Mommy and Dad can be right there.
I cheated last night. Had Taco Bell.
Stop by for a visit!
It would be sooo nice to hear DAAAADDD screamed across the house instead of MMMMMMOOOOOOMM!
i want a dvd player for my suv...
little ones school it only two miles away though
thr grocery store is even closer
---------------------------------
i once let my little one eat the cinnamon dough you make with glue and cinnamon...she was convinced it would taste good
she thought it did and convinced me to try it
it was not good
I accidentally sprinkled CUMIN instead of Cinnamon Sugar on my sons waffle this morning. Once I realized it I took it away...he begged and begged to try it..I should have let him...
My DH drinks apple cider vinegar to help his allergies. It works!
Oh you can totally cheat with cookies, I mean it's Girl Scout Cookie season. :)
Oh yeah I can relate to the cookies, and the TV in the car. apple cider vinegar, can accually be good for your health, believe or not, just only a couple tablespoon a day = great skin and health.
A link to my Post it Tuesday for you
Where are your pants is said a lot in our house too!
LOL I love these! I think 25 minutes is long enough to warrant a movie. I can't wait until we have a van and hopefully it will have a dvd player in it as well.
I also loved the apple cider vinegar notes. So funny. When will they learn to listen to us?
I cheat on diets too. It is the right of the mother. :) That is why I hide chocolate.
Oh I cheat on diets too. Maybe that's why I still need to lose so much weight?? hmm...
Fellow cookie monster here...now the 6 years of extra baby weight make a little more sense to me...It's the cookies!
That apple cider vinegar was fun-nay. lol.
I am always asking after my sons pants too...must be a boy thing to be perfectly fine with wearing just a shirt and socks and playing Legos.
Have a good week.
It drives me nuts when I am working or blogging and my hubs at home sitting on the couch and the boys keep coming and asking me to do the stupidest things that hubs can do....drives me nuts.
I cheat on diets to, but don't tell anybody.
My kids always come to me instead of dad and there are times it makes my head spin?! He is right there!!!
Okay I am off to read your other post because I have a feeling I have something to say. ;)
Ew. Apple cider vinegar. At least he had the sense to spit it out! I hope he believes you the next time.
I love having three boys and cannot possibly imagine anyone different than who I have!
25 minutes is definitely long enough for your complete family to have to watch TV in your awesome mini-van...while you're eating a cookie...or ten!
(Which makes me want to totally ignore the fact that I've been trying really hard to behave, too.)
I won't tell....and I would totally cheat too :)
Haha those were GREAT and thank you now I want a cookie ;)Oh and I let my son watch the TV in the car on the way to the store so don't feel 2 bad!
Brooke
I don't know how I wasn't following your blog right now, when it seems like I'm always peeking in on you. So I just signed up. I think I lose blogs in my reader/follow list now and then! boo!!! Happy Post-It Note Tuesday!
TECHNICALLY
you are cheating on HIS diet...not yours..so you ae good to go!
So, yeah, I eat oatmeal raisin cookies because they're ... healthy. Oatmeal. Raisins. What's not healthy about that? Throw in some chocolate chips ... wasn't there just a study about how chocolate/caffeine are beneficial? Enjoy your cookies!
I cheat on diets too (shhhh, don't tell). I never thought I would put a tv in my daughter's bedroom, but it is so convient...cute post-its!
I am a diet cheater too! Hubby brought home girl scout cookies and yumm they was good!
I am all ready for pour your heart out!
At my house you can hear "Say HELLO to your father. He's right here to assist you." Then I walk away.
The dvd in the car? Um, guilty! I can't survive a trip without it...sad, right?
And then it makes me think how lucky our kids are. I remember a road trip to Florida when I was little. No dvd. No Leap Frogs. Nada. Dark outside? That sucked...lol!
xoxo & eat a cookie for me. I'm craving one...
I'm going to make sure to get a tv installed in my car when I have kids . . . LoL
I wish my hubster would get on a health kick!! I'm usually the one dieting while he eats snacks in front of me!
Your boys sound so creative. LOL
I never thought I would say this but I too have a minivan and I LOVE my Odsessy!
I just participated in my first Post-It-Note Tuesday, yay!
I never thought I would say this but I too have a minivan and I LOVE my Odsessy!
I just participated in my first Post-It-Note Tuesday, yay!
I completely agree with all boy things! We have one boy and everybody asks when were going to try for a girl! I like my one boy just fine:)
Have a wodnerful Tuesday!
Enjoy the cookie ... I'm sure you'll be wallowing for hours since you only have boys. HA!
We LOVE the DVD player in the SUV. Or, Daddy loves it and uses it almost every time he drives MiniMac to school. His favorite thing to watch? U2 Live. LOVE IT.
I'm tots jealous of you and that cookie. Enjoy your affair with deliciousness.
Ewwwww, apple cider vinegar? Straight? That just makes my throat burn to even think of it!

Confessions From A Working Mom
ooo girl im tellin!
Holy cow girl, I'm number 79 commenter?! Wow!
I cheat on diets too. Cookies are my cheat of choice.
Could not live without the DVD in the car - or the iPod touch in my Taurus. I have three favorite movies of Boo Boo's on it!
Its allowed when you cheat on HIS diet.
Apple cider vinegar? LOL!!!!!!!! Oh my word!
I actually love the stuff. I put it on everything.
Let me warn you now ... my "baby boy" is 20 and he calls me to ask me for directions (I'm geographically challenged) or car advice (mechanically challenged too) no matter how often I tell him he should call his dad for such things!
So funny! I can totally relate on the kids always calling for Mommy even when Dad is in the room. I'm a minivan mama too! Love your post-its.
Enjoy the cookies and DON'T SHARE! ;-)
Ha, apple cider vinegar boy! Brady did that with the margarita I told him not to drink. :) Yup, I'm mother of the year...
Alex
I'm going to have to check out mommyhood. We have 4 girls and we get all the time were you trying for a boy? We honestly dont care what sex we had or have in the future!
I love being a minivan mommy too!
I too am like that about cookies! LOL! And, I happen to think that both those statements are probably the most used phrases in my house currently as well! Thanks for stopping by! (My Ordinary Miracles)
My DH eats potato chips in front of me when I am dieting. I don't even like chips, but when he is eating them - I want them!
a SITS friend...
Love the post it about the most often said phrase. Where are your pants is a HIGHLY repeated one in my house!
:)
holly
I don't know about you but I have 2 boys and my family is quite complete.
And the popular phrases in my house are "Don't touch your brothers butt" and "Who didn't flush the toilet?"
~Steph
hahaha apple cider vinegar!
LOL- my best friend (who recently added a Tahoe w/DVD player to her driveway)just told me your first post it last week! Hey, whatever keeps the drive quiet, right?!
All of these post its had me holding my sides :)
aw, these are freaking adorable.
A cookie or 5? I will join you? Oh, and I have only boys and YES MY FAMILY IS COMPLETE TOO. Deal folks, deal. We are mothers of boys.
You are too funny!! I love the apple cider vinegar! Don't you love when your right and you can fully say, "I told you so!"
And I had to just say NO to the cookies at the store today... Now I'm desperately considering running to the drug store for some vanilla oreo's! :o
Why are Daddys invisible when Mommys are in the room!! One of lifes great mysterys! lol
Is it bad that I'm sitting here eating a bowl of ice cream with a piece of cake at the bottom? I figure I'm okay since I'm DVR'ing The Biggest Loser. I'll watch it as soon as I'm done scarfing down the ice cream. I wonder why I can't lose 10 pounds?
I'll have to link up for the meme next week! I'm the FB on TMC tomorrow but I'll definitely hook it up next Wed!
It's okay, I always cheat on my diets.
I cheated on my diet too. I had Pizza Hut Sunday night. Oops!
Crackup!!!
Oh my gosh, why do they ask for Mommy's help when obviously Daddy is sitting right there? That drives me crazy! I'll go, "Bree, why don't you see if Daddy will help you?" lol...then Paul looks at me and rolls his eyes.
Oh my gosh! I WISH my kids would call for daddy...but when we're together in the same room...mommy always trumps daddy.
I tell my kids all the time " you have a daddy ask him" Makes me nuts! I am a cookie (ice cream) diet cheater too!!
