A Cry for Help

When a woman is in need of emotional or psychological help, the signs are often subtle and easily missed.  People can  unwittingly overlook the indicators that a woman is drowning in sadness, depression, or in my case, a vat of chocolate Halloween candy.

So as to avoid any ambiguity, I have clearly spelled out what I need with the boys' Halloween loot:


Please.  In the name of God.  Someone get over here and save me from myself.  Take this crap away before I do irreparable harm.

    Ah, If you would have spelled them out with PayDays then I would gladly help. I asked my wife if she got any on the trip home from the store. No. No? She obviously doesn't love me anymore. Okayokayokay, I would take your L.

    Anonymous - you'd better get here soon.

    Susan - when you see me next month, please don't look at my ass.

    esbboston - Sorry. The L has been eaten.

    Shel - Thanks! It's hard to feel alone with all these wrappers surrounding me.

    Gweenbrick - email me your address (or that of a distant friend)at mom@webandofmothers.com and it's on the way. It needs to GO.

    MOV - I know, I know. Bad marketer. I'm working on being noble next year. Plus, I'm trying to catch up to Gweenbrick. Too bad I can't draw. Or write. Thanks for the Hyperbole and a Half mention. I cried laughing at the cake entry. I didn't know she existed until you told me. It's a big blog world out there!

    After I went through their stuff and picked out what they're allowed to have (as far as I'm concerned, until they can brush their teeth properly, no gummies or hard candies - I know, I suck.) I threw (almost) everything in a bag to send to work with my husband. :P I have no confidence in my ability to ignore a truckload of candy.

    The letter "P" is the killer for me.

    esbboston - sounds like heaven.

    Skwishee - I've got to do that. Next firehouse day! If there's any left...

    Maplewood - you and me both. I think P is gone. ):
