can i have some candy?

this is a question i get asked about fifty times a day, however some days the word candy is substituted for snack!!
SO for instance today, "mom, mom, mom, mom," yes, i reply... "can i have a candy?"... no, you cannot have a candy, you need to eat breakfast first, "but mom, mom, i won't eat it, i will just hold it and look at it!!", sorry bud, i said no, "but mom, please i won't pick chocolate, so it won't melt"... this occurs often before breakfast, and after breakfast, and then 20 minutes after that, and the pattern continues for the rest of the day till i usually give in around noon or 2'ish, i allow him to pick one, but he does not get to eat it till after lunch. this candy is from halloween still, so it is not very fresh, but he is a candy junky!!!! i have some deep concerns about this behaviour, and the dentist may see his addiction when we go see the dentist in a couple weeks, can you say, chan ching for the dentist. i just hope and pray that insulin injections are not part of his future.
well i have been sick for two weeks now, and with all this coughing I put my back/neck out. my mom did mention the word... meningitis, but i think if it were that i would have some other symptoms by now. so another person seeing dollar signs, will be the chiropractor. my sister being a massage therapist did help alot, thank you.... so at least now i can lift my arms about my shoulders.
Life is pretty good, the weather is not the best, but the sun was shining today and i always welcome that!!!! have a great weekend everyone. Note: my spellcheck option is not working and i know i made some errors, forgive me, i am after all still in pain and taking muscle relaxants... and i am a numbers girl, spelling is not my gift!!!
