MIDNIGHT MUNCHIES! I’M IN A TERRIBLE JAM….
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At midnight, my stomach grumbled With snacks in the pantry, I fumbled On the shelves high and low, Chocolate cookies. Say no! But tripped on my cat and then tumbled! Toward the fridge I tiptoed with glee, For it holds a treasure trove for me. There's a jar of sweet jam, tight I’m stuck with tasteless yam, terrible plight! With spoon and my cravings, an eating spree! Oh, the brownies were calling my name. They ‘made me’ lose the dieter’s game. Each chocolate bite I took, My belly constantly shook, Now my waistline will never be the same!

I love this and the cute pic! Yesterday my brother's disability worker made us a really nice shephard's pie and during the night, I just had to have another slice.....or two.

Umm, I can relate to this. Sometimes it's surprising how much chocolate cookies can do. I mean, when you are sad just eat a choc cookie and it's like a consoling hug from mum. The lil guy in the pic is definitely me lol

Hahaha, oh that is me of late! I am up in the middle of the hot AZ nights for a popsicle or ice cream, my cat at my feet, he wants something too, so a bit of cat food for him :D I'm getting fat and so is the cat! Maybe come winter my habit will stop, but then watch, I'll be up for hot cocoa and cookies!

I've been the same way of late, too. Don't know why. For years, I wasn't a night time snacker. I must admit, I've put on a couple of pounds so I need to get a grip! thanks for visiting and commenting, hugs, Sara

Glad you liked my bit of humor, Sara K. Once upon a time, I wasn't a night eater...then began that habit back in May...working on stopping it. enjoy your evening, hugs, Sara B
