I want to run from my own house screaming sometimes. My son just got back from Afghanistan, and will be coming home for Christmas. Of course his mama will make him lots of Christmas cookies. I am not about to let all my hard work be thrown out just because of one holiday, but it will be a form of torture to make those cookies. One thing I have found helpful is that when I go to a party, I bring something healthy even if I wasn't asked to bring anything.
