I'm an Easter Egg Deviant

As my kids get older I am finding more and more restrictions placed on my Easter Egg eating habits. You see ever since they’ve been available, the Easter Bunny has always brought me a 1kg chocolate egg and in the glorious years Nestle made them, I was showered with a 1.2kg whopper. On top of that is all the stuff I get from the rest of my family. When totalled, some years it will equal the land mass of a small Pacific Nation. My problem now is that with my kids at ages 4 and 5, I have fewer and fewer opportunities to actually eat it.

The first encroachment on my Easter Egg eating rights came 3 years ago when we were at my parents house for the holidays. As usual, I received a gluttonously large amount of chocolate and so did my Father. The problem was that for the first time, we were unable to wallow around the lounge room groaning under the weight of our sweet, sweet bounty. If we did, then by rights the boys should be able to have some as well. In case you're not aware, 2 year olds and large amounts of chocolate don't mix very well and it’s quite impossible to hide it from them.

At first we tried to trick them.

“Dad, what are you eating? Is it chocolate?”

“No son it’s just a carrot.”

“But Daaaaad carrots aren’t that colour! Show me the carrot you’re eating! Hey you’re eating Easter Eggs aren’t you!! Where’s my Easter Eggs?! I want my Easter Eggs!!! EEEEEGGGGGGSSSSS!!!!”

After being outsmarted by 1 and 2 year boys, we were forced to indulge in hiding. No longer could I laze on the lounge, lovingly cradling an Easter Egg bigger than my own head. Instead, if we wanted any of the good stuff we were forced to hide out in our rooms and lock our doors as if we were 14 year olds armed with an underwear catalogue and a box of tissues.

And so it has been from that year to this. While kilos and kilos of chocolate lay hidden in my wardrobe, mocking me from the musty darkness, I'm constantly monitoring the boys for the slightest sign of tiredness. If only the boys had a sleep I could have some chocolate.

“Don’t you feel tired boys? Wouldn’t a sleep feel so good? I wish I could have a sleep. Sleeps are sooooo much fun. Hmmmmm sleeeeeeep."

But no. Of course even the small amount of chocolate they are allowed to have is more than enough to keep them wide awake.

So now every Easter for the foreseeable future, I’m forbidden to eat Easter Eggs in daylight hours and am instead destined to scarf them down during the night like some kind of Vampire with an eating disorder.

自分の通う幼児教室に受験希望の志望校別のゼミが立たないこともありますので、
オープンではありませんが、少なからずいらっしゃいます。
ホームクラスの掛け持ちでは、いろいろな面で面倒かと思いますが、講習やゼミならいいのでは?

Oh my god, I am so sorry this has happened to you. I can't even imagine the kind of pain you must have felt, and continue to feel. To be honest, I can't think of something to say that would amount to anything at all. Just know that you have wonderful children that will always bless your life. I am not married, but I think if I were and this happened, that holding to my children would be the thing that kept me going. I will keep you in my thoughts, and hope for the best for you. Best of luck, hang in there.

I am a very happy woman with the help of Lord Krish Spiritual who helped me restore my relationship with my ex husband. My name is Agnes Smith and I am from Alaska, USA. I met Lord Krish Spiritual through a testimony online and I never thought I would have my ex husband back after 4 years of separation. After my contact with his email, he told me not to worry and I would really be happy as I am now. Trusting in his words was a right decision for me. After 2 days, my ex husband called me that he wants to return back to me and live with me forever and I was very shocked. This made me believe in Lord Krish is really a very great spiritual man. Today, I am very happy to write this testimony about him and want others to testify to his power as I am currently happy in my restored marriage. Contact Lord Krish Spiritual through his email at lordkrishshrine@gmail.com to help you solve that relationship problems in your marriage.
