Shoutin’ from the Rooftop

I had planned on posting this yesterday. But unfortunately, I felt too lousy. I am fighting a cold and maybe a sinus infection. But I wanted to make sure to post this. This conversation is still replaying in my mind.

I woke up in around 3am on Sunday morning. Our youngest came in to our room and needed help in the bathroom. Thankfully my awesome husband took care of the situation and let me stay in bed. So I was dozing back to dreamland when our oldest came in to our room saying she was having bad dreams. Got her settled on our bedroom floor. But the inevitable happened. I was wide awake. I don’t know if the cold medicine was kicking in or what. I stayed in bed for awhile but finally gave up and went to the couch to watch some TV with hopes that I would fall back asleep.

As I was walking to the family room I remembered the chocolate chip cookies that the girls & I had baked for the husband/dad in our house. It just happens to be his favorite cookie and I hadn’t made any for so long so I thought I would make him a nice little treat.  The chocolate chip cookies sounded so good. I was frustrated that I was awake at 3am, I am aggravated that I felt lousy. You know how it goes. Then the conversation began.

Why don’t I just have one chocolate chip cookie? Maybe it would make me feel better.

Oh but remember how hard I worked out Saturday afternoon. That would be undoing all of the good that I did.

But remember how good that cookie tasted yesterday. I deserve to have one since I am up in the middle of the night and feel so lousy.

How quickly I must be forgetting the torture that endured.

Needless to say, I didn’t have a cookie even though I was up for 2 1/2 hours before finally falling back to sleep.
