My children are teenagers.  They know everything and I get dumber every day...

I knew I was dealing with DMS (Displaced Mother Syndrome) but hadn't a clue as to what else had taken over my life until I happened upon Khalid's term 'CBS' in a thread a few nights ago - actually it was in the weeee hours of the morning....Yep, I have it!  What a relief to know it has a name and a huge thanks to Khalid for his expertise.  :-D.  I am heading into 'CBA' at a fast clip and at some point imagine I will have to join a 12 step group in order to regain some semblance of normalcy back into my life  :-D

By the way, if you are reading this it is probably too late.  You probably already have 'CBS' (compulsive baking disorder) too.  If you stop now you may not end up with a full blown case of 'CBA' (compulsive baking addiction)......

My timer is beckoning me to my kitchen.....time to shape some loaves and preheat my oven......I am a total slave to a mere mixture of flour, water, leaven and salt.....how powerless can one become?

I do feel better though after knowing this madness has a name - again THANK YOU KHALID!!!!  (By the way, I know you have it too because you draw pictures of dough in bowls and post it so all the world can see!  Personally I thought they are a work of art and am grateful for the time you spent working on and perfecting them.....but then, I am a fellow sufferer.....)
