I’ve added a timely article to today’s post as it is something we are trying to figure out here at our house. Now I grew up taking my younger brother out trick-or-treating so I still got to go. But I do think 7th grade was the last year I actually doorbelled. My daughter wanted to go with a group of friends downtown and we just didn’t see any point to that. It’s not like when we grew up. Yikes, did I just say that. lol No, but really. Hubby went out most of the night, but all of the cops knew him and his Dad, so they called his house before he even got home if he was doing anything wrong. So this year we are grabbing some of her friends to go out with us. Then we will tell her it was the last year for it. Looks like the halloween party will have to be on halloween night from now on. That will solve the whole thing. Enjoy the article!

Oh yeah, I’m getting old and a junky for new appliances. I’m not going to be afraid to admit it anymore. lol Now I had hubby vacuum today (nothing sexier than a man cleaning in my book) and the vacuum we just bought in Jan. isn’t working very well. We’ve actually taken it back once already. arghhh, I knew we should have just bought the dyson.

Then Retta sent me to theWin a Dyson “Pink” Vaccuum in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month contest. Oh boy do I want to win this! Like I said, we should have gone the few dollars more and bought the dyson. But to get it in pink would ROCK!!!

My friends and I have had a secret website that we’ve been working on for a couple of months now and we are finally ready for the grand opening. My WAHM Space is officially open to chat about business. Our big grand opening party at Mom Chat’s is tomorrow (thursday Oct. 18th) from 9am EST to around 8 or 9pm . The end time will just depend on when everyone leaves. lol I know I’ll be on late tomorrow so feel free to jump in there and visit whenever you can.

K, not much was resolved, but it’s all better.  Now we just need a date night so we can hash some of this out while we are both with open minds and not angry.  If I don’t then it will be even worse the next time this all blows up.  We did talk about a few things like him shutting me out of any plans he’s made for his days and a couple of other things.  He says he’s told me some of them and he honestly may have.  But he needs to remember that my mind is not only on him and the kids anymore.  So depending on when he told me, I may not have heard him.  But I know one of the big one’s he did NOT tell me.

So dont’ take offense if you are one of those relationships.  But I honestly do not have the energy to make you work.  I need to focus on myself and what I need to do to be a better person and a better Mom.  I have no energy to waste on tracking down what you are doing today if you do not want to let me know ahead of time or even pick up your cell phone and tell me.  I do not have energy to figure out what you should make for dinner on the nights you are home.  I do not have energy to nag you about how your day went at work.

I missed them even more than I thought.  The kids went in first and the dogs were excited.  But when I walked in Sugar just about jumped out of my youngest arms.  She wanted to get to me so bad.  Awww, I needed that!  We’ve had them half the day and have been watching movies and doing nothing.  I just came into my bedroom to watch the last half of the Bears game and Sugar tweaked out.  She wanted up on the bed with me as soon as I came by the bed.  lol  I guess she remembers that we let her sleep up here sometimes.

As you can tell by my new theme, it is breast cancer awareness month. Is there an American that hasn’t been affected by breast cancer in some way?

My Aunt battled it at 40 and my uncle had a lump at 35. No cancer with my uncles lump thankfully, but it still is young and spooky. Especially a male. Those are both on my Mom’s side. Then my paternal Grandma battled it twice and had a mastectomy both times. So there is a little bit of family history.

Monday is opening game for Detroit so my Aunt if off to watch the BBaller play in his first real NBA game! Super exciting. She is going to
grab the NBA package and have some parties so we can all watch together. That will be great times and I’ll look forward to that. I guess they have built up a ton of hype around him and he’s become quite the celebraty over there. That just rocks and it couldn’t happen to a better kid.

I don’t know if it’s the weather or what.  But I just feel as though I’m muddling through my days.  I do have great times and lots of laughs, but then the rest can pass in a blur or feels like I’m just getting through it.  I’m beginning to wonder if this is normal?  Does everyone do this?  Or should I go see my doctor about it?  I hate drugs though and I’m horrible at remembering to take them.  So what would a doctor do?  lol

OMG, did I just say pre-plan? I did and no I don’t usually follow the pre-plan idea. Mostly because I don’t find stuff until the day AFTER the holiday. lol But I hit the jackpot this time! I found an awesome Halloween ebook with recipes, party planning, ghost stories and more.
