Todays BLOG 10/30/07 Sorry guys for the delay in writing and thank you so much for the comments..I have had a lot of outside stress the last couple of days. Anyway, today is the Eve of Halloween and my car has been egged once and I now have a boootiful toilet paper decoration in the front of my house..(and I wonder where all of my excitement has gone) . My kids all have their "plans" as far as what time they're wearing their costume and where we're going. THEY'RE 5 AND 6!!!! and they have plans for me? I tallied up my total costs (just for laughs) as to how much this years festivities has cost me and we're up to 243.86...Damn thats a grocery shop..All of this so I can get about 3.00 worth of free candy and a whopping dentist bill..All well.. If you all want to know the new scoop I added a new one into ANGRY BLOGS..Thanks guys..TODAY'S BLOG 10/28/07 OK, so what's the deal with Halloween? (3days and counting according to my kids) I know I've been doing this for years, but each year it just becomes harder for me to get in the spirit..Why do we HAVE to spend a fortune on costumes just so my kids can go to strange peoples houses to get free candy. Half the time the candy is soo old as if it's been sitting in their house from 3 Halloweens ago. And doesn't this defeat the purpose of the whole "stranger danger" thing? You teach your kids not to take candy from strangers, but this whole one day is an exception? Hell if I know...I try to empathize and remember when I was little, but hasn't things gotten so much worse..When I was younger all the neighbors watched each others kids, now neighbors try stabbing each others kids..huh? oh ya and did I forget about the infamous tradition of the carving out the pumpkin? Ok, so here we go again, I spend a fortune on "BIG" pumpkins, so my kids and myself can brutally carve out their guts, which so happen to be EVERYWHERE in my house for weeks....Yeah!!! ..uuuuggghhh......oh wait cabbage patch is being demanding, I have to feed him( I think) I'll be back soon..Well, this is my conclusion for the day. Since I last wrote, I was tired as all hell and my husband came back from his mandated rode job, so I soon went to sleep after my last entry..The day was'nt so crazy but thats in part due to my sleeping and my husband not having to go to work at 2 today. He did though, wake me up with the "the gigantic mountain of clothes pile" of clean clothes, and I think that was around 8. He sat down next to my half awake (with very stinky breath, I'm sure) self, telling ME how crazy the day is, and how he had to make sure the kids got off buses and did homework, and drive to music lessons and even cook a dinner that they all complained about...My response was "well, how did you like being me for a couple of hours" He just looked at me and I can read the word HELP in his eyes....My deep inner self was just thinking (well, maybe he wont be as demanding too, maybe he'll chill out with adding fuel to the fire, maybe he'll stop taking it all , even me, for granted. Maybe he'll say thank you sometimes and maybe if my dinner tastes like sh-t , he'll say he liked it anyway and throw it out when I'm not looking. MAYBE.......? |
