So Saturday I was doing the usual scrubbing of the gook from the floors… you know, the sticky kool-aid and sodas the kids spilled, and various other unidentified spots when my husband came in and said those four little words “Cub scouts selling candy!” Right here I should say I said ”Tell them we gave at the office.” Well, that didn’t happen. I walked outside and there are these two absolutely adorable boys (one was only 6) on my front porch donning their crisp clean uniforms. I AM a sucker for a guy in uniform, a total weakness on my part. 

Anyway, I start looking at the various goodies (evil) they are peddling and the whole time I’m thinking “Just walk away!” “No good can come from this!” Well $20 later I walk in with my prize. A can filled with about 1lb of trail mix. Nuts, Raisins, dried cranberries, and M&M’s…… A treasure trove of pleasure. So the kids are all over it like flies on roadkill before I had a chance to dig my hand in it. Later that afternoon I go into the kitchen and open the wonderful little can, stick my hand in and their is only a handful left (mostly nuts). I pop a few in my mouth and close the lid and whisper a prayer of thanks that it didn’t hang around the house for too long. I did tell my loving hubby that evening that if he ever came and got me from my duties again for candy that he would find himself sleeping on the porch. lol  I’m just glad that there wasn’t anymore sabotage to my waist line than that.

Remember if those cute smiling faces with their finely pressed uniforms come knocking on your door - stay strong! They have evil in a can! Now if you’ll excuse me I have something ooozie to clean in the kitchen.

Please be on the look out for these suspects!

Ya’ll  have a great day!
