Smarties are like chalk, no thanks. Oh and one other really good candy that I have on occasion is Charleston chew.

I’m at the after hours pediatric place with O. He has been crying about his tongue hurting and doesn’t want to eat or drink because it’ll hurt. He’s been saying this since Monday. Today when he came home from school he sobbed like he was in so much pain. God I hope it’s not a canker sore because there is nothing you can do for them and they are super painful.

C got 2 ziplock bags each with 2 candy bars and $1. I'm wondering if it was a neighbor we know well and it was special for L&C or if someone is handing out great things like that to everyone!

Ugh. Dh just walked in the door in a mood. He’s all crabby about money and says we need to go on a spending freeze. And that our health insurance is going up and we can’t afford to have another kid next year. He just spewed it all out as he walked in the door. I’m annoyed. We are doing just fine with money and ruling out a baby is not something you say like that.
And he’s going out for drinks with his buddies tonight 🤔

I was thinking maybe hand foot and mouth. Does he have a fever? Strep is also already going around.

Waiting on dr now.

I was stuck in horrible traffic and had to call my parents to pick up C. They were on their way to church. Apparently it's a Holy day. But they got him and met me at home where our electrician was finishing our basement. It was chaos and I'm tired. Dhs train is delayed but he's picking up dinner on the way home. We still have no food since my plan was to go to the store on my way home but traffic. This week kind of blows.

slenle that's bullshit. Try not to fret too much about it tonight since it sounds like he was letting off steam. It's a really crappy thing to do and leave though.

Yeah it sounds like something triggered him into a tizzy. Obviously not that bad of one, if he's still going out and presumably spending money. That was unfair of him.

I just can't like this. Except I do agree about good and plenty. But isn't that licorice? I hate licorice. What are your feelings on Milk duds? Or smarties? (b/c I think they're like dots, right?) Milk duds are middle of the pack, I'll eat them but not my first choice. Smarties I ate when I was a kid, now I pass on them. I think dots are like gummies? I don't like licorice either. But I do like coconut which can be unpopular - j only got 1 almond Joy😞 We would have been good trick or treating buddies. My favorite part was always trading with my friends afterwards. We have opposite taste In candy

Black licorice is the worst. I will turn that down but not much else in the candy world. My favorites are Reece’s, starburst, skittles, Twix, kit kat, gummy candy (like worms or bears) Add tootsie rolls, 3 musketeers, jelly beans and milk duds and you are me. Oh, and a good old fashioned Hershey bar

Standing at the stove cooking dinner and my tailbone started throbbing. So much pain. I'm laying in bed now listening to mh try to shut the dishwasher door over and over and over. Dude, it's broken and you didn't fix it. A good sign that you didn't fix it is that it still isn't closing. So annoyed. It was closing fine until he fixed the hinge on the bottom, now it won't close. Don't worry, he's fixing it.... it's been over a week now....

I just gave H her bag of candy and told her she could pick out one piece to eat. She rifled around and chose a tootsie roll. WTF? There is so much good stuff in there and that’s what she picked. What's wrong with tootsie rolls? S rarely eats them from his bag, but it's usually because I've stolen them all!! Same. I'm super bummed b/c B didn't get any this year. He got all really "good" (not junky) candy. Lame.

Hi! Currently eating some apple pie and halloween candy and watching Stranger Things. DH bought 300 pieces--and we ended up with less than 20 ToT'ers--soooo there's a bit left over, plus B cleaned up. Poor DH, he has this week off so I have put him to work...yesterday he hung blinds in the front rooms and today was the new drapes We are hosting Thanksgiving for my parents, sister/BIL, and BIL's parents, so I want the house in as good of shape as possible. We have our family photos this weekend and tomorrow I'm meeting with the photographer with C to do some 'marketing' shots for a Christmas mini-session she's doing. So hopefully we'll get something cute out of those, too. Although I am running out of places to display all these pics...

Argh, there's a confirmed case of RSV in Chase's class... Ugh, hope he can avoid it. There have been a couple cases of strep already at B's preschool, though fortunately not in his class. This stuff seems to be starting so early this year...or maybe it's b/c we're not in Florida anymore, Toto.

Hopefully, we can avoid until his immunity kicks in.

My whole body hurts from ToT yesterday. We have a ridiculous amount of candy. Luckily, the local high school is sending candy to the troops so I'm dropping like 2/3 of it there tomorrow.
10 more days of work before maternity leave!

I've been working on a project for 2 years as part of a main aim of a grant. We newer 8 with the center director today and he was this close to scrapping it. I think 4 of the 6 of us in the meeting were shocked. Thankfully we are moving forward. Then I went for drinks with friends. I feel like it is Friday

Hoping for an O update, snoopmommymom. Smarties are great, I was so thrilled when I found out they were vegan because Dude likes them too. Reminds me I still need to do a Switch Witch with all the candy he can't eat. I miss Almond Joy.

I just love hour and a half bedtimes. This one involved a naked screaming child acting like she was going to pee in the empty bathtub, getting in my face saying, "Mommy Elizabeth"(my middle name), her telling me to go ahead and throw her candy away, that she's a baby and needs to go back to the baby class at school, and for me to go ahead and throw her cupcakes away because she doesn't want a party. Tons of fun. No more candy after bath, it's too close to bedtime and makes her go psycho.
