Not very happy that the dinner I ordered (delivery) has not shown up (almost an hour past time) no one has called me, and when I try to call, their phone system hangs up on me! I guess I am going to go dig thru our leftovers to try to cobble together something for my poor, sick family to eat

I'm hearing rumors of some central Ohio towns/cities changing Beggars Night to Friday due to the expected weather. I can't find an actual list of communities doing this. Anyone have a helpful link?

Watching Ghost Hunters, drinking some hard cider and eating dark chocolate! I am feeling good right now

Halloween morning starting out a bit earlier than I'd like, but despite Nancy and I both waking up from some sinus difficulties, I still have high hopes for a good day!

So I just found out that at some point this morning, Whitehall has changed Begger's Night/trick or treat to Saturday. Somehow I have to figure out how to explain this to Lucy w/o dealing with a very upset 4.5 year old. This after just getting bleach all over the floor and my only pair of comfy & (formerly) decent looking shoes which was quickly followed by me breaking the washing machine. Halloween 2013 - I am very tired of tricks now. Is there any possibility of some treats?

Good morning. I am AWAKE really I am. We all survived the storms and wind last night although it is still too dark to check out the tad/trees. Now we just need to keep Lucy busy until she gets to go trick or treating tomorrow night.

So Lucy is dressed like a fairy queen, Nancy is a black cat & I'm a blue witch. Trick or treating was delayed until tonight. It's a bit cold, but everything is going well!

I guess I really am an old witch. My arms have been sore all day after carrying my black cat (Nancy) for trick or treating last night!In other news, both girls in bed before 9:30 tonight! Woo Hoo!

So due to a combination of sinus issues and teething, Nancy is not sleeping very well. Which means I am not sleeping well. This has been going in for a few weeks now, and I'm starting to crash HARD by lunchtime which means the house is a disaster area, dinner delivery is WAY over budget, Christmas gifts might be done by Easter, and I am constantly fuzzy headed and grumpy (and yes, that is a change from the norm). Anyone have any suggestions?

Lucy has just informed me that she thinks I am imagining the fact that unicorns are imaginary.

So Nancy woke up at 12:30/1 AM. I got her to go back to sleep. Up again around 3/3:30. NOTHING was going to get her back to sleep. I sang to her, rocked her, fed her, begged her until a little after 5, when she made it very obvious that she wanted to get down and play. She's still going strong. Me, not so much. Lucy's got preschool this morning & I've got a Dr's appt . Something tells me that after lunch, I will be half asleep on the couch while the two of them play & watch TV.

Way way way too tired. Not enough sleep + praise team + emotional morning followed by intensive grocery shopping trip, followed by putting groceries away and getting everyone lunch = me wondering if I can take a nap before we go tell Mum Almond "happy birthday"

Hello world! I actually got sleep last night. Mind you, most of it was on the couch w/Nancy but I SLEPT! Plus, Wayne is off work today and helped with getting people dressed, fed, etc and then took Lucy to preschool. I am energized! Laundry, dishes & phone calls are done/started - now to try to get some major work done on a scarf for a Swap Partner (aka "witchee"). .

Snow - real measurable snow - already!? Wow, this is early. Hope that means we'll get a white Christmas. It's been several years since the last one.

Has two different to do lists for today. Both include taking Lucy to & from preschool. One also includes finishing the crafts for my swap package (and not much else) since that needs to be in the mail on FRIDAY! The other includes going to the library & bank, vacuuming several rooms, getting dishes & laundry done, and organizing what Christmas gifts I've already got vs what is still needed. Hmmmmmm I wonder which list I will go with?

The kids and I are getting a bit of a late start today, and I'm trying to decide what from the impossibly long list I will actually do today.

Ok - I can't decide if I want to know what Toronto's mayor actually said or not (but I'm leaning toward not). Apparently he said something during a live interview/press conference that was so raunchy they can't even allude to the subject matter on morning TV. Toronto, I feel so sorry for you. I hope you can get rid of him & move on soon!

Calling all central Ohio friends!If you have kids or enjoy playing with & entertaining kids 5 and under, Lucy is asking (ever so cutely) "Can't anyone come over and play with me today?"Wayne & I have bunches of work around the house to get done; plus, apparently we just aren't as fun as someone who isn't here every day. We'd be happy to feed you lunch!

I will be knitting in church and Sunday School this morning. I WILL finish this last project forum swap & get it all packed in the box TODAY!

I am pooped! I feel like I've been running running since 6 AM. Between church stuff, lunch, & shopping (and no down time for us or the girls) it is 4:30 and I am ready for some Angry Orchard and a bunch of chocolate. It's really too late for the girls to get a nap in, so I guess we'll watch some TV and then do an early dinner followed by an early bedtime.

Lights are flickering. According to the weather guy, we are experiencing a severe thunderstorm that doesn't have any lightning or thunder but does have wind gusts up to 65 mph or higher. And the sirens just started.

Good morning world!

When does the ne season of BBC's Sherlock begin?

I need another "me" (maybe even 2) so that, despite extreme exhaustion and lack of sleep, I can still get all the work done that needs to be done today (or in some cases last Friday)

If I try to run for the hills, do you think Wayne would be able to stop me before I reached the door?
