MY children don't eat sugar, except when we have treats or I give into their whining and let them have those disgusting baby bottle pops or one of the grandparents decides to spoil them and I think it would be too much of an argument to explain why they can't have the candy, so I just give in

I always finish my to-do list each day, except when I don't get it done
I always finish my to-do list each day, except when I don't, in which I just turn the page and make my to do list for the next day and repeat the same item. I continue doing this until I realize that the item I originally wanted to just just won't get done and then I will drop it off my to do list all together.
