The dreaded day after...
OMG, the candy that's in the house!!!!!! My motto is to just not have the stuff in the house thus less temptation. The kids won't give it up. I won't allow them to store it all in their bedrooms as they'll gorge for the next two weeks and I will be cleaning up wrappers forever. So it sits in my sightline. I don't dump on sugar...a blessing and a curse. What to do!!!!!??
There are a few dentists in town who will take the candy and pay the kid $1 per pound. They then send care packages to soldiers overseas. I am going to ask the kids to pick out 25 pieces of candy to keep and give up the rest. Heck, we'll double...no triple...the amount of money they get from the dentist. Ugh.... So hard! I had 3 little chocolate bars yesterday and was eyeing up the bags again this morning. Good lord, it needs to leave the premises!

I have the same issue IT IS HERE OMG, I havent eaten any, I am afraid to dump, but as I sit in the living room with my laptop, I can see peanut butter cup minis sitting on the coffee table. One of my kids is in trouble. They are teens, all I ask is to keep it out of my view!!

My husband (bless him) took it and hid it from the kids AND ME. This way I don't know where it is and it is out of sight. Otherwise I would grab "just a piece" just about every time I pass by. And when the kids get their "reward" he magically makes it reappear. I'm a mean mom, they only get a few pieces each night and one small piece in their lunch sacks.
