A Jen Too Many

This is how I keep from blowing up like a parade balloon in the week before Halloween: I don't buy chocolate.

I buy Twizzlers, and Jolly Ranchers, and Dum Dums, and Tootsie Rolls, and SweeTarts. I buy bubblegum, and suckers, and jawbreakers.

I do not buy chocolate. I also do not buy peanut butter candy.

There is no temptation in this house. Not one teeniest bit of temptation.

At least, not until late Halloween night, after the kids have gone to sleep ...
