Cookies Anyone?

Have you ever been caught with your hand in a cookie jar? Last night after an exhausting hour of putting both children to bed and convincing my son he REALLY DID want to follow his sleep rules and stay there, I felt I deserved a reward of some kind. Abandoning my 28 day diet plan for just one little cookie seemed fair considering the circumstances. I mean, one cookie can't really hurt weight loss, can it?
So, as I stood there in my pantry, reaching my hand into the luscious bag of lemon cookies, BOOM, it all went black. Seriously, I am talking BLACK. I could not see ANYTHING. I felt like I had just gone blind or been struck by lightning or something. I was temporarily so confused until I realized we had just had a power outage and that I really hadn't just been struck by God for trying to eat one little eansy cookie! Apparently, I yelled to my husband, "Honey, I am stuck!" What I meant by that, I am not sure. I probably meant to say, "Honey, I am struck...as in struck by lightning!" I did not eat a cookie last night. I am not sure I will ever go near that bag again.
As for our power outage situation.....we lived by candlelight for 2 hours, dealt with 2 very freaked out kids for an hour of it, finally dozed off to sleep and were awakened by sudden bright lights and sounds that had all been left on. It felt like, "Let there be Light!" because it came on as suddenly as it went off. All in all we survived and other than the fact we missed an episode of "24" we were mildly entertained by the situation.
