Ok so this is my favorite time of the year, It begins to cool down I can go look at Yadr sales and not get too overheated, and FALL festivals galore!  I love to take the kids out in the fall and just fool around at fall festivals with them!  Entertainment and virtually no work on my behalf! Awesome!  So today was a very very trying day!  I woke up early, left the house by 8 am headed in the direction of the LARGEST garage sale of the year!  I found myself looking and searching for bargains galore while the yummy smell of hot dogs were grilling at the crack of dawn, Ok so I had a half of a banana and I was content with that until the aromas started to linger all around!  No matter which direction I turned the wind was blowing hot dog scents my way!  I just kept telling myself well, they are probably a buck or two each then buying one for everyone would set me back about 6 dollars! SO… Ok…huh… so I managed to skip the hot dog area all together then I walked inside to find the place smelling like a bakery store!  I LOVE PASTRIES!  I could not resist!  BUT I did!  I left 3 hours later and very proud of myself.  My son was begging for the dag-on treats and goodies so I pulled out a poptart in reserve and that semmed to appease him.  Left and went to pick up my Angel food package.  (now for those of you who are wondering what is angel food, you are missing out!…CK OUT WWW.Angelfoodministries.com and see what thats all about!) I got the desert and mmmm I wanted some of that too!  Nah I held strong!  Then we went to a church Yardsale where they were selling BOXED KRISPY KREME doughnuts!  Ughhh GOSH IS THE FOOD FOLLOWING ME?  I politely told the lady I was on a diet and she said ahhh one won’t hurt!  UH YES IT WILL!!!! I won’t stop at one so I drifted as far away from that as I could!  Then my son spots FIRE SAFETY DAY!!!OOOHHH OHHHH CAN WE GO PLEASE I WILL BE HAPPY!!!! So I was a bit reluctant but finally I said ok, cause he was being patient with all the running around I was doing with him in tow!  So we got inside the firehouse and well lah ti da, guess what?  FREE HOTDOGS AND SODA, AND YES CUPCAKES!  Ah crap what the heck  FREE thats how I avioded the earlier ones!  So I sat and watchwed as the kids gobbled up their yummies!  I was ready to give in I tell ya!  BUT I DIDN’T!  I did however rush straight home to make myself a sandwich and a pickle for the temptations!   NOW the story doesn’t end here, no that would be too easy, I had promised to take my kids to TRUNK OR TREAT which is a knock off of trick or treat where the kids go from car trunk to car trunk to get candy, FREE candy!  lol….I was fine with that and they played games and all, and then the smell of freshly poppped pocorn was in the air!  My kids each got a bag, then a soda, and well heck you know what was next!  HOTDOGS!!!! UGHHHHH……I get them theirs, and the lady says oh you can have one too, do you want chilli and onions too my dear?  NO THANKYOU I said POLITELY while gritting my teeth… Now why all the hot dog fuss? Because it is fall and everyone wants to squeeze that one last hot dog roast in before it gets too cold!  The kids ate candy all the way home!  I did have a small tootsie roll and my daughter managed to dig out some gummy bears for me too, fat free at least!…She is the sweet one!  I stopped off at one last stop, where I knew no hotdogs would be and I grabbed myself a ftlong sub, and cut it in thirds took my hubby 2/3’s of it and I can home and I ate the rest!  I was pretending secretly that it was a hot dog!  Actually I even considered dousing it with KETCHUP! LOL…But I didn’t….Ok so How am I gonna get through this season?  With all this temptation?  Well with the help from you all!  AVIOD THE TEMPTATION, I DID SO CAN YOU!…..Smaller clothes helps to motivate me too, and I was wearing my “skinny jeans from Years, and Years ago today!
