To fiber or not to fiber, that is the question!

Thankfully Rebekah had a wonderful day today!  She is feeling so much better and it doesn't even seem possible that she was as sick as she was yesterday.

When she took a nap last evening I decided to make some awesome oatmeal cookies!  I substituted 1/2 c. of the flour with ground flax seeds.  I made sure the cup of flour I did use was whole wheat flour.  And I added a whole lot of raisins to the cookie mix.  These were some fiber rich cookies, I tell you.  There's a problem.  I have four kids.  Three of my kids already eat a lot of fiber--they just tend to gravitate to oatmeal, raisins, fresh apples, etc.  One child doesn't gravitate but repels fiber, hence the need for me to make some powerful oatmeal cookies.  The three kids who love fiber just so happened to love my oatmeal cookies.  The one who needs the fiber, she ate the cookies but purposely removed all the raisins from her cookie.  One of my three fiber-filled children exploded today.  Bad.  Down the leg bad.  Not good.  He doesn't need fiber.  Just thought I would share.  Isn't it interesting how life happens?  Hope this thought, this pondering of mine "to fiber or not to fiber" gives you a chuckle.  Be happy you didn't have to clean that one up or do my laundry today!

I had to laugh, what else could I do? I knew when I made the cookies that I was risking some potential problems. Oh well, at least it made for a good story and gave someone a reason to laugh! :)

It was funny although it wasn't at the time I was cleaning it up! I'm thankful that Rebekah is doing better too. Last week was quite a trial but thankfully, we are in a new week and it is starting off pretty good! :)
