So Much for Self-Control

I usually don’t buy a lot of candy for my kids at Easter. I have an idea about what is a good amount for them to have, and my in-laws always exceed that amount all by themselves, without any help from me. This year, though, I was feeling bad that the kids are going to have to stay home for yet another holiday, and I went a little crazy with the online shopping. The deliveries have been rolling in and now there’s a pile of treat-filled boxes downstairs. My kids will be happy when they wake up Easter morning, and so will I. Sure, that sugar’s going to be so bad for their teeth, but at least they’ll be smiling.
