Welcome to Alice's Blessed Insanity! Here, you will find the daily humor and challenges of raising three small children. I am a full time stay-at-home mom who tries to look at the lighter side of what life dishes out to me. Sometimes I take off on a rant about politics, beliefs, or some other varied subject. Just bare with me and I will move along. I would classify myself as a fairly conservative, very much pro-life Christian. Everyone has their opinions and you are completely entitled to one here. However, I try not to debate as I just don't have the time or energy for it. Generally if I don't agree, I will simply say so and thank you for your comments. As long as you are civil and good to me, I'll be good to you. It's nice to have you here and I look forward to having you back!

So the kids couldn't go trick-or-treating on Monday night....Jared had croup and Klara has a cold. What does one do in a case like this? Why, you call "Triple T" to help! Who is Triple T, you ask? Triple T is short for "Trick or Treat Troll." He's a pretty nice guy who goes around and trick-or-treats for sick little kids who can't go out. When they wake up in the morning, they will find their bags full of candy.
You should have saw old "Triple T" at the store at midnight trying to replicate an authentic trick or treat bag for three kids!

This is what the "troll" came up with. Or was that a "she devil" that brought it? Oh, who knows, *giggle*
Can you say "kiddy crack" boys and girls?! Oh my gosh! Klara, especially, is a major candy addict and once she gets her fill she is a maniac! Ritalin anyone? Just kidding...
So, we averted crying and whining and everyone was happy. Now the only challenge is to keep them from trying to commit suicide by eating the whole thing at once! We don't keep candy in our house, usually, so when they get something like this they freak out.
On a sad note, the man who we went to church with who had the stroke passed away last night. He was only 44 and has kids at home. So, we will be going to a visitation tomorrow and a funeral Thursday. I feel just awful and want to help his family so badly, but there is nothing that can be done to fix this. I'm going to take food out there tomorrow and we will do anything we can...but it's just not something that is fixable. Rich did make it to the hospital yesterday before he died and spent some time with the family. It's just such a nightmare. Not for him, of course, he is in Heaven. But for his family, it will be a while before they adjust to life without him on this earth.
I will end this entry with a tag from Donna
