I have had the CRAZIEST of days. Kids climbing on my back incessantly, me struggling to get through a phone call, me being so confused that I didn't know what to do next, the list goes on. Motherhood, why art thou so crazy? At some point, my 6 year old noticed my frustration and said "it is tough to have kids, right?"
I said, "Yes it is but I enjoy spending every moment with you guys. Life would be so boring without you." She smiled and I smiled back.
We ended the day by indulging in some OREO cookies right after dinner. I told myself I deserved some cookies after a tumultuous day so I ate with no guilt.
OREO, why art thou so yummy? I don't think there is any cookie in the world like an OREO. If you have never tasted it, I sort of pity you. But let me tell you what it is. It is a dark chocolatey cookie sandwiched with a creme filling.
Some people even have a formula for eating it. They say you eat the creme filling first then you eat the cookie. Well, I didn't follow any principle while munching on the OREO tonight. I just dived right in and ate everything at once - cookie and creme to satisfy my weary mommy soul.
My friends at OREO want us to suggest a new flavor for the epic cookie. By us, I mean me and you reading this. If you know me well, I'm sure you already know what my flavor would be - something coconutty!
But it turns out the guys at OREO were smart enough and they created OREO Thins in coconut flavor. That's a bomb.com flavor you should totally check out at your local Walmart.
They also have tons of flavors like - lemon, jelly donut, red velvet (!), salted caramel and even OREO chocolate candy bars.
BUT they do not have a COCO-CHOCO OREO. I'm talking about a flavor that combines coconut and chocolate in the most wonderful way. I want to see an OREO loaded with a creamy coconut filling and chocolate chips!
So on crazy days like today has been, I can reward myself with a coconut-chocolate chip OREO. That will be like a coconutty chocolate bar and a cookie all in one. I don't think there could be any thing better than it.
That's the OREO I want. What kind of OREO do you want? Up till July 14th, you have the chance to submit your unique OREO idea for a chance to win a whooping $500,000! Click here to enter the contest.

You are bringing up a very compassionate being if your daughter can sympathize with your mummy troublems at such a young age. Keep it up.
