How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Ramblings of a Woman Crazed by Chocolate

in Everyday on 04/05/10

EasterEggs

Why can’t I stop at 1 or even 2 Easter Eggs?  I limit my kids chocolate intake. How about a little self control.  Sigh.

Um, of course this does NOT include the time, and by “the time” I mean this afternoon, when I bribed my kids with chocolate.  Yep.  They pulled weeds, I paid them in Easter Candy.  Win Win.  Got rid of the candy so I don’t eat it, and I got one flower bed weeded.  That my friends, is quality parenting.

Is Spring in the air? I got checked out by no less then 3 dudes at the park today. Either I am looking goood or I have some candy foil in my teeth.

EasterCreamEggsAre Easter Cream Eggs getting smaller?  Why don’t they last as long as they used too?  Do they even look smaller or has all the sugar altered my visual perception?  When I was little I was afraid to eat Easter Cream Eggs, I was pretty sure those babies were full of nothing but raw yolk.  Yeah, I never claimed to be a smart kid.  My butt and skin would be so much better off if I had never discovered their true gooey goodness. 

We have been home from our Florida vacation for two weeks and 3 of our 4 suitcases are still not unpacked.  Domestic Goddess of the Year!  I’m thinking I should use my current sugar rush to do some laundry…or maybe just book us another trip!

I have a killer headache and can’t figure out if it’s because I’m crashing, coming down from all the chocolate last night or because my body is going into withdrawal cause I cut myself off.  Either way.  Must go get more bunny. 

Easter dinner takes HOURS to prepare, 20 minutes to eat, and days to clean up from.  It was all worth it the moment my SweetGirl declared “It smells that Grandmas house on Thanksgiving in here!”  Yeah me and my Hubby’s mad turkey cookin skills.

Hope your Easters were full of love, turkey and of course, chocolate.

      The only Cadbury eggs I could find were the mini ones and they just aren’t the same!

      i spent more than an hour filling eggs, baskets and hiding them all…for the kids to wake and have everything found in 10 minutes.

      *mental note, must hide better next year*

      Yes, those cream eggs are smaller and there is less creamy goodness inside even. What a rip off. You have to eat 3 or 4 to make up for it now – LOL.

      That is probably one of the sweetest things a child can say to their momma.

      We purposefully bought little candy and asked the Easter bunny to do the same…I cannot control myself! All holiday dinners are like that…so much work and all done in a flash!

      They definitely are getting smaller.

      I’m on a diet… I went off the diet for Easter… Bad idea. I ended up grabbing handfuls of cream eggs, reeces eggs, crunch eggs and so on… I must have had a bag and a half… And I wonder why I felt so fat yesterday!!

      Don’t you love easter.

      I had given up candy for a period and now that I am eating it again…I am going overboard. No wonder I gave it up. So bad for me.
      Thanks for the follow. I am now following your blog.

      Oh my! I have a very unhealthy relationship with cadbury mini eggs. I could eat the whole freakin’ bag.

      I would definitely pay my kids in chocolate for weeding.

This week we felt all kinds of spoiled in our cozy accommodations in gorgeous Scottsdale.

All because #Homeexchange provided us with a unique - almost free- way to stay in Arizona and see all the things! 

We had such an amazing time we’re already planning our next adventure!
