Haiku Friday: Visions of Fun Size Bars Pound In My Head

Haiku Friday
My stomach in knots,
I feel sick, no energy –
Sugar hangover

The one problem with having a child who doesn’t know what to do with candy is that I then eat way too much of it.

Cordy loved trick or treat, had a lot of fun looking at her candy, but has yet to figure out that you eat it. Meaning it’s just sitting in the bowl, taunting me. I’ve been snacking on it for over 24 hours now, giving me the worst candy hangover since I was eight and devoured all of the Reese’s Cups in my stash in one sitting. Bleh.

To play along for Haiku Friday, follow these steps:

1. Write your own haiku on your blog. You can do one or many, all following a theme or just random. What’s a haiku, you ask? Click here.

2. Sign the Mister Linky below with your name and the link to your haiku post (the specific post URL, not your generic blog URL). We will delete your link if it doesn’t go to a haiku. If you need help with this, contact Jennifer or myself.

3. Pick up a Haiku Friday button to display on the post or in your sidebar by clicking the button above.

So flex those mental muscles and join Jennifer and I for Haiku Fridays!

  1. i’m so there. the candy is killllllling me!

  2. Luckily my boys did not get too much candy so it will be gone very quickly. I am pretty much eating only the stuff that they can’t eat (hard candies and the like) and graciously allowing them to have some.

  3. Sarcastic Mom (aka Lotus) says

    Got my Haiku up, Momma!

    And, you know what?

    I’m still shoveling Twix and Snickers (funsize, yes!) into my facehole.

    SOMEBODY STOP ME, OH GOD.

  4. No trick or treaters 2 yrs running meant we didn’t buy candy this year, means no candy for me. Not that I could eat any of the good stuff anyway, what with my elimination diet and all. 🙁

  5. I wrote about candy, too!! LOL

  6. That’s the All Hallow’s Eve drawback, no? I took SDs bucked & dumped it in the stash for the kids. No more tempting me or the sugar addicted diabetic!

  7. I have done well this year. i hid the candy from myself. I think it is worth the sugar hangover though, no? Great Haiku.

  8. Not many candy eaters in my home so we often throw away the Halloween candy around Easter.

    A local dentist is buying back Halloween candy for $1/lb. I think we are going to donate ours because it is being sent to the troops in Iraq.

  9. So far I’ve avoided the leftover Reese’s cups, but I can’t hold out much longer!

  10. WorksForMom says

    I have had a sugar high for a month now!

  11. Robey will eat the plain m&ms, hershey bars and reese’s cups. I’ve been devouring the rest.

  12. On my list of items today is to gather all of the pounds and pounds of candy and drop it off at a friend’s house. He works at a video game company. All those folks live on sugar. Good riddance!

    Lovely haiku. Great take on “hangover.”

  13. It could be worse — Cordy could want to eat it all. the. time, such as Squeaks is doing to me. Granted, I’m still eating way too much, but I’m having a hard time convincing my kiddo to eat lunch and dinner when there is candy in the house.

  14. great haiku and so true!

    ..we live in an out of the way part of town and never get any trick or treaters..i was smart this year and only bought chips and juiceboxes..so if no one showed up, i’d have them for the boys lunches…

    thankyou for letting me play haiku with you..

    k:)))

  15. Jennifer aka Binky Bitch says

    I feel sick, too, from the candy. Ick. I need to hide it.

  16. Already my jeans don’t feel like they fit. I need candy detox.

  17. I have since hunted down all the Tootsie Rolls in my boys candy spoils, and they are now bring me offerings of Smartie’s because they know how much I love them.

  18. This looks like fun! Thank you for the great idea!

  19. We’re in a similar predicament over here, but for a different reason. Every year we buy candy and every year we get exactly TWO trick-or-treaters, despite living in a well-populated suburban neighborhood with LOTS of kids.

    I had to have Brian take all the leftover candy to work so I wouldn’t eat it.

  20. I like the idea of Haiku Fridays! I will join in on the next Friday!

    I’ll have you know, your haiku just made me get up from my computer, open the fridge, remove the last remaining cupcake from my daughter’s birthday party and insert it into my mouth.
