Aaahhhhh, confession time again!
I so did NOT serve peanut butter sandwiches for dinner two nights last week. I know how important balanced nutrition is for a growing child and I would never compromise the health of my children by serving something like peanut butter sandwiches. And, if I did serve that for dinner, which I did NOT, I would NOT have added a side of cheetos to go with it. And to top it off I would NEVER put them all at the table and turn on Noggin while they ate those peanut butter sandwiches that I did NOT serve.
I did NOT neglect my poor husband almost every night last week because I was working on pictures and learning new techniques in photoshop. I am so organized that I can do that sort of thing during the day while I am home with the kids! I would NEVER have to wait until they are all in bed because I can NOT think while they are running through the house and screaming. But even if I couldn’t do that during the day, I would NOT leave my poor husband to watch TV alone while I stayed up until almost 1 am every night. That would NOT be the good wife thing to do!
And, I did NOT force my kids to put on their jackets and run 10 laps around the backyard when it was 40 degrees outside. What kind of a mom would do that? I love my kids, and their laughing, screaming, chasing, crying, name calling, throwing toys, breaking ornaments, spilling drinks, all in the span of about 10 minutes, would never get to me so much that I had to lock them outside! But, if I had made them run laps, which I did NOT, I would NOT have been happy when they came in exhausted and cold and just wanted to cuddle with me on the couch! 
LOVE IT! Peanut butter and cheetos sound yummy! and as for doing things at night bESIDES your husband I never do that either! keep up the good work!
Ohh, that last paragraph made Ben and I laugh out loud!
I really col’undt ask for more from this article.
I’m sorry I don’t have the specific reipce you are asking for, but there are reipces for checkerboard cookies in lots of cookbooks. Basically they are sugar cookie dough divided. Half of the dough is one flavor and color and the other half is another. Each dough is divided in half and rolled into a long thin pencil sized stick. Then the dough is placed next to each other, so every other stick is a different color. When your are done, you will have one long, fat stick made up of all the thinner sticks.Roll your fat stick tightly in waxed paper and chill. When the dough is chilled you take it out and cut disks from your dough that will have a checkerboard effect. Bake and eat! The flavors and colors could be whatever you like.
