Chocolate is My Therapy of Choice

Ok, so I know it's not wise to use food as therapy, but it sure works wonders for me!

There's this precious lil angel in my house that just won't stop crying from 8pm 'til about 10:30pm (and sporadically throughout the day). She's my seven week old daughter, Elena. Most of the time, she makes me happier than chocolate. It's the side of her that screams out loud that makes me scream inside, and Chocolate helps to keep me from screaming (too much) on the outside.

So, tonight, the 53rd night of torture, was about to break me. Ok, it did break me, and I told my darling hubby that I needed "some chocolate therapy NOW". Knowing the Mommy Monster was rearing her ugly head, he promptly asked, "what kind?" to make sure he'd administer the right kind of therapy. ;-) "Chocolate on chocolate," I requested with a clearly desperate growl.

He bought me a box of Publix chocolate chip cookies and two bars of Ghirardelli chocolate, one this new flavor that is basically what heaven would taste like if it had a flavor....Sea Salt Soiree...the words melt off the tongue as well as the dark chocolate with sea salt and roasted almonds do...Mmmmm...Mommy is all better now.

When she's happy, she's better than chocolate. ;-)
