Witches & Bones... and a country cowgirl country singer?

Halloween is today... and we are over it in this house.

Bug has had a week of Halloween.  First we had to trick or treat last week to PDubs parents, since they were going away halloween weekend. Bug got into it then.  She looked amazing.  Beast did too. Beast is easier to dress and control.

They were into it. It pisses me off to know we wasted the most enthusiastic attitude on the weekend prior to halloween.

After her school party. Then a round of "show off " trick or treating.  Bug was less than eager to trick or treat to her Binny and Popee's. Being Popee's big birthday.  Well she was not willing to dress back up AGAIN. I wish she would have stuck it out and stayed her spooky witch. But NO.  She was done with the itchy hair and skirt. Not to mention she was NOT a fan of eyemake up remover. AT ALL.  Pain is beauty kid. Learn now.  She went to her trick or treat / halloween birthday celebration as a cowgirl.  Atleast they had fun.  I guess being a cowgirl was acceptable last minute replacement.

Now Beast. She does whatever you ask her. She just switched up her accessories.  She also got to meet Wanda Witch. They hit it off !

Anyway. Today we will spend the day putting away the halloween stuff. I usually do this with a heavy heart. But not this year.  I am looking forward to tanksgiving. Yes you read that right Tanksgiving.  Thats a whole other story & and may have become my second favorite holiday, pushing halloween to third? We will see. After this years halloween bomb and last years wonderfully fun tanksgiving, it has quite the chance.

Now off to sneak some candy and play with the awesome halloween gifts my girls got! Thanks Binny !!

Baseball

I am a Phillies fan.  Last night they lost. They will not make it to their 3rd World Series in a row. I am sad over this.
As a true phillie fan can always say.

There is always next year.

More Random Babble coming your way...

Right NOW!!

1. PDubs attitude today is not a nice one. Infact he was a bit of a jerk.

2. Beast was and is very cranky today. This may have made PDubs jerkiness stand out even more to me.

3. Tomorow is market day. I usually love to go to market day. I hope I wake up tomorrow and want to go.
    If today was market day, we so would have not made it there.

4. PAYDAY cant come soon enough.

5. I must send Ava's postcards to her penpal.

6. My dogs make me insane some days. Today is one of those days. AGAIN.

7. I want Pumpkin something. pie, roll, coffee, icecream. anything of the pumkin variety would be wonderful.

8. I need need need to catch up on my tv. I am way behind on all most of my shows. Some I didnt even start watching for the season. This is unacceptable.

9. My house is still a disaster. Mostly my bedroom.  I have a chair sitting in the middle covered with clean clothes. Soon PDubs will start getting moody over this. I must clean my bedroom.

10. I am overwhelmed.  Not with the kids, well they are a small part of it, but with something else.

11. Sometimes I amaze myself.

Random Babble

I am stealing this idea of a list of randoms from another blog I read. Thank You.

Random Babble

1. I have bad bad split ends. So bad, infact, yesterday they sizzled when I used the curling iron.

2. Bug has been a HUGE brat lately.

3. I am worried about Christmas. What will Santa leave under our tree? What can Santa afford to leave under our tree?

4. The PDubs was invited to a black tie event. This means tux or sharp black suit for him, and a ball gown for me?!?  not to mention hair and makeup?  Stressful!

5. I feel bad for some one I truly dislike.  I want to say I am sorry for their loss, but do not want her to think we are OK.

6. That probably makes me a bad person.

7. I dont care.

8. Beast was to the doctor yesterday. She is PERFECT!! she now weighs 9lbs 4ounces and is a whopping 22.5 inches tall.  She will be 10 weeks old on Sunday.

10. We need to grocery shop bad. But we are broke this week, so we are clearing out the pantry.  Its a wonder why we ever bought what was in there to begin with.

11. I love telling people my sisters are pharmacists. Doctors of Pharmacy. So they are DRs. I have sisters who are DRs. Suck that people.

12. My house is a disaster. I need to clean it. Everytime I look around and want to get started, its just too overwhelming and I give up, slouch on the couch and stuff my face. Bad for all reasons. No good in that.  I SUCK.

13. I have the grass is always greener syndrome.  I hate myself for this. 

14. I did not work out at all this week. I planned too, but much like cleaning my house, the thought of working out overwhelmed me.  BOO ME

15. I liked doing this list, and more will follow.

Happy Weekend to You

Today Bug has off school It is Colombus day. Wahoo!!  I like days where I dont have to get up early and get her ready and out the door. I enjoy sleeping past 7am.  If that makes me a bad mom, yeah well.  I hate sending Bug off to school, I hate that she has to go to school. But I make her go, and I do get up and ready her to perfection.  That makes me a good Mom, so ninny ninny on you.

Bug sporting Bug glasses.

Baby Beast has been sleeping very very Well!! Mommy likes this a lot.  She gets up maybe once around 4 to eat. Thank You Baby Beast. At 9 weeks old, sleeping through most nights is music to my ears.  I love that you do this.  So does your daddy. He thanks you too. 

 Baby Beast aka Summer Snowflake is growing!!!! Yay!! She is now a little bigger than LuLu.  LuLu is Bugs daughter. She adopted her in NYC. She is my granddaughter and is treated as such.  LuLu and Beast hangout.  When Beast came home from the hosptial she was much smaller than LuLu. We are glad to see her growing.

Beast and LuLu hanging out.

Today will be the first day of my workout. Beast is 9 weeks old now, I should probably start trying to lose the baby weight I gained 5 years ago with Bug.  Sad, but Beast weighed more than I gained. So now I start trying to get rid of the weight I packed on inbetween babies.  I wish it wouldnt be as pathetic as it sounds. It is what it is though. Cant change it now. Can only chnage going forward.  I hope to lose atleast 10lbs before Thanksgiving and maybe another 5 before Christmas.  I dont know if these goals are reasonable.  I have never dieted before.  I should have, but was always OK with myself.  Today is different. I am not OK with myself today, so today I change.  (I should have probably skipped the cornflakes for breakfast then, and ate maybe an apple... too late now) I will start with this old dvd I found. P90 express. My husband has been doing it for a week now. He feels better. Lost 3 pounds. So fingers crossed it will help me too.  GO ME!

This is a great Picture of ME!! yeahright. Bleh..

Anyway, this is as good as it gets for a before picture.  I am the MOST unphotogentic person you will ever meet EVER. So there arent many of me.  Good ones anyway! 

Wish me LUCK! 

Ava is away for the day.. I dont like it.
she is having a good time with her mommom though.
And it is giving me a much need break.
She'll be home tomorrow. 

Miss you Bug. See you tomorrow.
