Yesterday, while at Albertsons to pick up a few things, I noticed that the store had put out

HALLOWEEN CANDY!!!!!

For the love of Pete!

I have issues with this for so many reasons. Summer isn't even over, school hasn't started and we are already supposed to be buying for October 31st?? And, do they really think that any of that candy would still be around in two and a half months? Pushers, that's what they are. No wonder our country has such a high obesity rate! How long are we going to walk by that candy without buying it? Eventually, like next month, it will go on sale and people will buy it "to save for Halloween." But, we all know how that goes! Six trips to the store to replace the candy that has been eaten and five pounds later, Halloween will roll around!

I am taking a moral stand and vow not to buy any candy until the last week in October. One year I didn't even buy candy. I passed out the little packets of pretzels. The girls thought I was mean and horrible and Jimmy bet that our house would be egged!
