Cartoon Mommy 1, Cookie Dough 0

I must confess to having a weakness for cookie dough, really it's more than a weakness, cookie dough is my nemisis. I try to avoid that section in the super market and even then I can hear the tubs of already made cookie dough calling to me. "Your kids love cookies, come on you will only bake us." Yeah, right, they LIE!
The past few weeks I've actually made my own cookie dough from scratch and I've been keeping it in the fridge and just a bake a few at a time. The kids love them and so does the hubbie. Last night was the ultimate test... I didn't eat of the cookie dough while baking. Sweet victory is mine! I only licked what little dough was on my fingers after situating the cookies on the baking tray, and that doesn't count. Even when my precious daughter dug into the dough, I obstained.
That may seem silly to most, but for me it was beautiful. I can now add extreme resistance to cookie dough to my list of super powers. The others worth noting are ability to block out loud, obnoxious sounds such as crying for no reason and for long periods of time, insessant whining, sibling squabbles and high pitched squealing (some call it singing), the ability to see through dirt and make messy rooms clean using only my mind, and the all impressing ability to make food disappear!
Maybe instead of cartoon mommy, I am actually Super Mommy!
