Candy and Demons

I have just a few thoughts today.
One, a PSA about candy eating. I believe I've already shared that I'm not fond of the filling up of my children with way too much sugar. If not, I have now. However, the question frequently comes up, as to whether its acceptable for the adults of the house to binge on all the candy - particularly at breakfast.
My answer is a firm, "YES."
Why? Well, for one, you need the sugar in your bloodstream in order to keep up with the sugared-up kids. But also, its health food. Cocoa - vegetable. Often mixed with milk - dairy. If its a peanut butter cup - thats the nut/meat group. You've got 3 food groups covered right there. And if you feel like you need fruit and bread as well, add a jelly donut to the mix. Health food. With a little kick of caffeine and sugar. I fully endorse candy for breakfast.

Thought number two is about demons. Not the halloween kind. It occurred to me today that my children are surely demon spawns. Then I realized something. I'm the demon that spawned them. They are the spawns of me. Yeah, it was a rough day. I've had some cake now (vegetable - not just in the cocoa, but also in the oil I put in it) and feel a bit better. But it was a no fun day. I'm hoping for a better tomorrow.

Also, a few random thoughts:
This time change has me screwed up even though I slept in big time. Its 8:40 and I'm tired (might have a little to do with my headache). But I'm still waiting to see Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy. We have GOT to all get a petition going to move Grey's Anatomy moved to an earlier time. Housewives isn't near as good this year, just switch them. But just about everyone I know wishes GA came on earlier.
And also, I'm such a Halloween scrooge. I just really am not a fan of it. I have to figure out costumes tomorrow. I hope Party City still has some in stock. I suck. Hey, I carved a pumpkin, isn't that enough Halloween fun? So I don't want to deal with costumes and i certainly don't want to get a ton of candy. I swear I'm throwing at least half of whatever the get away. And then eating half of what is left. For breakfast on Tuesday.
They are supposed to dress as community service type workers for the church's fall festival. I think Mikayla should be a vampire slayer - thats service to the community isn't it? But somehow I don't think thats what they have in mind. Aaric wants to be a soldier as if there aren't going to be 10 dozen other little soldiers. I looked up nurses costumes online and for the adult ones, I don't think I saw any that would be acceptable for a church function. I just don't think they'd appreciate me in a little short skirted cleavage (what little I have) bearing nurse uniform with the name tag "Anita Lay, RN."
Just how bad a mother would I be if I just totally skipped out on this whole Halloween deal? I just really, really am not in the spirit.
Oh yeah... one more thing. 5 more weeks. ;)
