The Blood Sugar Monsters
We have monsters in our house.
They appear every night about 6:00 pm. Four monsters in all; two with red-hair and two brunettes. You may also know them as Alison, Jane, Macy and me, Jenner.
It's a curse I've passed on to my girls. A transformation they likely have to live with their whole lives. Snacks and meals have to be carefully regulated because when our blood sugar drops too low, the claws come out.
I find myself rushing to get the dinner on the table by 5:30 pm, in an attempt to protect Mike and Cole from having their heads bitten off. Sometimes I make it. Sometimes I don't.
So, don't be alarmed the next time we have you over for dinner and start passing out the Snickers as appetizers. It's for your own safety.

I noticed this blood sugar problem in myself recently. Perhaps it's been a problem all my life, and if that is the case, I am very sorry to all family and friends. Now that I've put it together at age 36, I carry raisins and nuts in my purse and car and make sure dinner is served by 6:00 or I have some crackers. What a difference! So, your kids might get it from both sides...
