The "Perks" of Motherhood

Warning: Before reading you must know that the following list was written with complete and total sarcasm.

1) Cleaning pee out of the couch cushions.

2) Having to answer questions like "What are you doing in there?" while using the bathroom.

3) Being woken up by someone physically opening your eyelids.

4) Cleaning up puke in the morning when one of your children decides to wake up in the middle of the night and explode in the bathroom and not wake you.

5) Having to physically hold down your ten year old to get them to brush their teeth.

6) Trying to scrape cemented cereal out of a bowl that was put in the sink without rinsing it first.

7) Finding underwear in the middle of the laundry hamper that someone had an accident in and didn't inform you about.

8) Potty training! (see number 1)

9) Getting a Dora or Yo Gabba Gabba or Sesame Street or any other children's show song stuck in your head for hours.

10) Stepping on Legos left on the floor.

11) Whining in any way, shape, or form.

12) Temper tantrums. The End!

These are just to name a few. If I don't laugh about it, I will go crazy.

Mounds Stuffed Crescent Rolls


Don't let this simple exterior fool you.
Okay, so I have been sucked into the Pinterest website. During my daily perusing of the site I have found some great links to fun/yummy/sinful recipes and recipe blogs. One of which was for Reese's Stuffed Crescent Rolls. The name is pretty self explanatory, but basically it is half of a Reese's cup wrapped in a crescent roll, seal up the ends and bake as directed on the crescent roll packaging. Then, top with powdered sugar. Needless to say, they are wonderful! But, as soon as we tasted these delightful little treats, my mind started spinning about all the other candy bars you could wrap in a crescent roll. Snickers, Milky Way, Almond Joy, etc.... So, we went and bought some bags of the bite size candy bars and some packages of crescent rolls. The first one we tried was a yummy dark chocolate and coconut Mounds bar. I can honestly say that the consensus was that these tasted better than the Reese's. 

Be sure to seal up the ends really well so the goodness doesn't flow out while baking.
Ooey, gooey and hot fresh from the oven.

You have to try out this extremely simple, extremely yummy recipe. Let me know how you like it and what other fillings you want to try. Next on my list is Snickers. YUM!!
