Happy Halloweenies!
S0, Halloween- you either knowit because you were dragged out of your comfy chair by overly-eager screaming children to hit the streets, or you don’t; in which case, you were dragged out of your comfy chair by overly-eager screaming children that kept ringing your bell and demanding sweets…. Of course I’d blog about Halloween. I’m a mom; we love this stuff. I’m not a huge fan of Halloween in terms of the creepy decorations and such, but I do love the dress-up factor. And the candy. CAAAAANNNDY. I’m selective, though. I adore the chocolate, but being health-conscious, I restrict myself to the healthy candy. Like Almond Joy: almonds. Good, healthy.…

Sick Day
Hi, everyone! I hope you’re having a better week than I am. In my last post about the weather, I forgot to mention one of the biggest reasons that I hate the colder temperatures. Germs. Ugh. I’m sick!!!! 🙁 It’s almost inevitable here that once the temperature dips, someone ends up sick. And no matter how much disinfectant, Purell, and the like are used, it’s difficult to prevent illness from spreading to at least a few people here in the house.

Baby, It’s Cold Outside!
It’s fall. And before I rant about it, I’ll admit that I do love a few (very few) things about this season. I enjoy the burnished gold color of the leaves. I get a kick out of Halloween costumes. Pumpkins are cute. I loved the crispness of the air right around 4pm, which brings back fond memories of playing field hockey back in high school. I adore a good pair of skinny jeans with tall boots. That being said… Fall still sucks. There. I said it. Hating me yet? First of all… allergies. In a cruel twist of fate, I am allergic to basically the entire world around me. Literally. Trees. Grass. Dust.…

Happy Birthday, #2!
Yesterday was a big day here, folks. It was #2’s birthday. And not just any birthday, but the Big 1-0. Yup, double digits. So as I said, it’s a big day. And why do I say that again? Perhaps because it was ingrained in me, since it’s been repeated like a mantra by #2… every.single.day. … for 46 days now. Why 46, you ask? Because 46 days ago was #1’s birthday. And the newly minted house rule, established on the exact day of #1’s September birthday, is that you are not permitted to talk about YOUR birthday on SOMEONE ELSE’S birthday. (This rule need not apply to the general population, apparently.…
