Demolition Derby
I have had all the banging I can stand for one day. No not that kind of banging. I mean dismantling of a shop. My BIL has had his work crew out since 7 AM tearing down the shop he built when he lived next door. I hope they have some type of group health insurance in case someone falls off the roof or ladder. They are getting all over my last good nerves with all that racket. I hope they finish soon, I want to take a nap before we take the girls trick or treating tonight.
Well I think I’m going to go rest up some more. I just know that if I don’t my back and hips will give me all sorts of problems tonight. I think the demolition derby crew has taken a lunch break. Now’s my time to catch a few zzzz’s .. or maybe not.
Happy Halloween
Ah the day has arrived. Happy Halloween everyone. Today is the day where the freaks come out of the woodworks. So far this morning I have seen, a Princess, one of the three blind mice, a devil and a witch. I’m sure though tonight I will get to see more creative costumes when we take the girls out. I would love to see someone dressed as a horse with english saddles strapped to their back. Wouldn’t that be cute and original?
My goal is to be in town at 5 PM to start off the festivities. That way I can hurry back home to watch the live show of Ghost Hunters on SciFi. Then I can spend the night watching the members of Taps chase a spirit around. I love it. I may even grab some Tacos on the way home just so I don’t have to cook. LOL.
To Pack or Not to Pack
I was sitting here thinking about something. I’m trying to decide whether or not I need to get some shipping boxes and box up the girls summer clothes. Even though it’s already been coolish, I know that there are days where it will warm up rather nicely. I mean, I could box the sleeveless shirts and all the shorts up. But there are still days where it’s too warm for sweaters and jackets. Oh what should I do?
Kids Gone Wild
I hate trying to do something and mess it up a little. I have been working on a new template for the holidays for my blog. I had everything just perfect, then somehow I managed to mess the header up. I tried to fix it, but I think I have bothered with it way to long today. I need to just get up and walk away from it. It gave me a headache.
We tried Shorty’s costume on for tomorrow and tomorrow night. It looks sooo cute on her. I don’t wanna put her picture on here, but if you want to see (and I know you) send me your email addy and I’ll send it to you. She’s so beautiful as a Princess.
I am dreading tomorrow night. It’s not the night itself, it’s the walk. I have great car insurance and if I weren’t afraid of hitting someone I would just drive around. But I have this inordinate fear of hitting someone. Some of those kids just go hog wild and run all over the place. So I guess I will just have to rest up tomorrow and take some Motrin before I go.
Every dog in the neighborhood is barking tonight. There has been hayrides going up and down the road all night. I hope they knock it off at a descent time. I don’t want mine going ballistic over some kids having fun. I should stand out by the road and scare the daylights out of them. LOL, it would be my luck I would get run over. LOL
Brrr, it’s another chilly morning here in Alabama. I am sitting here sipping on my Java Monster energy drink, just trying to stay awake. I was up a little longer than I expected last night. I was playing the Xbox. So now I’m just sitting here trying to get warm. I’m dreaming of Vegas vacations. I am not sure though if it gets cold in Vegas. I know it doesn’t in Florida. I don’t like this cool weather. I want the days of summer to return. I prefer the warmth over the cold any day.
During the winter, I tend to do a lot of emotional eating. I stress over the shorter days and the lack of outside interactions. I miss dilly dallying around with my few plants I have. I miss hearing the chirps of the crickets and the call of the bullfrogs. I will miss being lazy under a shade tree while the kids play off in the distance.
Instead I get to enjoy life behind bars these four walls. Stuck with two teens and a whiny 7 year old. Instead of relaxing in the tub, I will jump in and out as I fear of frostbite on my toes or nose. I will get to hear one million and one times of how bored the girls are and how there’s nothing to do. I loathe winter time. I loathe white stuff falling from the skies. I loathe cold temps and being able to see my breathe in the wind. So the only solution I have come up with is to just hibernate for a few months. That way, I don’t have to see it, smell it, or even look at it. But who will tend to my blog if I do that.. well it’s still a thought.
Halloween Candy Recall
Hey everyone. With Halloween just in 2 days, I thought I would share this email I got from my kids school today. Please heed the advice and throw away all the chocolate coins as they appear to be tainted.
HALLOWEEN CANDY RECALLED
you can verify this on Snopes
There is a new warning put out by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency…. Sherwood brand Pirate’s Gold Milk Chocolate coins are being recalled due to the fact that they contain Mel amine, the ingredient in milk product that has caused many infant deaths in china. These candies are sold at Costco, as well as many bulk and dollar stores. please make sure to check your children’s Halloween candy and DO NOT LET THEM EAT THE PIRATE COINS (you know the ones wrapped in the shiny gold foil) and please let other parents know about this!
According to the story on Snopes, the candy was distributed in Canada and not in the US. I still won’t be taking any chances with my kids and I will be tossing the candy out with the trash. Better to be safe than sorry I say.
I wanna win, I wanna win
Just a quick reminder for all of you. My dear friend Jilly Bean is having a contest that ends tomorrow ( October 30, 2008 ) at 5 PM. Check it out, she’s giving away this awesome set of Toss and Chop scissors. They are so cool, they are very sturdy and durable. She swears by hers. I’m hoping to win them. My hands have gotten to the point I can’t chop anything. I have to ask for help from hubby or the kids with even cutting my food. Keep your fingers crossed I win.
