Thanks for accepting my invites!

I feel like the party's about to start! Thanks to everyone who's accepted my Multiply invites. Its great to see everyone here and to make new friends as well!

Last night we had our dress rehearsal. We discovered green is not the best color choice for zombie makeup. DS12 ended up looking like The Creature from The Black Lagoon. I'm sorry I didn't get a picture before he washed it off.

DS8's Lobster/crab suit needs some adjusting on claw length. They were dragging on the ground.  He still managed to crawl through the haunted maze at our friends' Karate school party. He really looked more like a crab when he was scurrying on all fours.

I headed into town once again to find blue and gray makeup so hopefully tomorrow DS12 will be more zombie like. I promise to take pictures this time.

We plan on watching monster movies, carving our pumpkins and popping corn tonight. I love fall!

Tomorrow its road trip time to K-town to say hello to Great Grandma in our costumes and trick or treat in her town.

Thankfully my sore throat has been chased away by all the fruits and veg I've eaten along with lots of fluid and sleeping in. I feel like I've won this first battle but the war isn't over. Flu season is just getting started.

Oh! I had another bad dream last night! I was riding in a car when we hit a traffic jam. A man walked up to the car with a gun. I jumped into the back of the car and grabbed DS8 into my arms. The man moved around to the rear window which was partially rolled down. He pointed the gun at me and I begged and pleaded for him not to shoot. He ended up throwing up on me!! Gross, but hey, I wasn't shot. He became embarrassed and ran away crying. I was grateful DS8 and I were safe. Very weird huh?!

Well, I better start my crab leg alterations so I can enjoy the night time fun. Hope your weekend is going great!

Nightmare

Don't you hate when you have a nightmare and it sets the tone for your day?

I was dreaming my children were for some reason at school. (Wait it gets scarier!) An ice/snow storm of the century was blowing in, and while I had the opportunity, I wanted to find my children.

I was at the school and found DS8. I then went to a gym class to find DS12. The gym teacher yelled at me and began to punish DS12. I stopped and yelled back, "DS12, You don't have to listen to her. You are homeschooled! You can come home with me!"  When we turned to leave, I noticed DS8 was missing.

The nightmare goes on with me trying to find my children, outside in the blowing snow and sleet.  I eventually end up at home, finding DS8 hiding under DH's bed.

So you can tell I have deep seeded issues with gym teachers and unconscious fears of losing my children. What makes this nightmare linger even more is now I have a sore throat.  Not a great way to start a weekend, but I'm going to start brewing the tea and make the best of it.
