I rummaged through many drawers.
I pilfered through each and every shelf of the pantry.
I searched for that doggone bucket of Halloween candy I hid somewhere in the kitchen, to no avail.
I dug deep down in the bottom of my purse.
*frustrated sigh*
Panting ...
Out of breath and out of patience ...
Freaking DESPERATE ...
I walked into the kitchen ...
I stood in front of the refrigerator ...
I grabbed the bottle of Hershey's syrup ...
I tilted that beautiful brown bottle into my mouth ...
And I inhaled about 1/3 of a cup.
And ...
I was not the least bit ashamed until ...
My little daughter walked around the corner and caught me.
