I opted out
of the shower portion of the day, just didn’t have the energy (nor did I care);
and frankly I’ve taken a shower every day lately and I deserve a break. Luckily
before 7AM my peace and quiet came to a screeching halt, I guess I’ve had too
much morning time to myself lately. Good thing he doesn’t want breakfast yet,
because I really don’t feel like getting up right now.

I can tell
already, this is going to be a trying day. I can feel it. I was going to wear
yoga pants today no balance out not showering, but I decided on a velour track
suit instead. (Not far off really)
Maizie miraculously
got ready in less than ten minutes. Since I had a bunch of errands to do this
morning, we drove the two blocks to school. We somehow were almost late, but
made it on time. Three days in a row, this has to be a new record.
Stella and I
head off on our long list of errands. We need to finish up Halloween
accessories before the big party tomorrow night. From the looks of things,
Sandy may take a bite out of Halloween, so they better enjoy themselves.
We starteded at BJs and I needed to get a temporary card because mine disappeared from my wallet. This sort of thing happens all the time, one of the hazards of living in a haunted house.
Stella and I went on an incredible journey.
 |
| I should really stop and get gas, but do I have time? So much to do (before noon) |
 |
| This truck was spewing "waste juice" all over the highway and my car EEEWWWW! |
 |
| I mat not have time to stop, but I definitely don't have time to run out. |
 |
| On the hunt for Captain America. |
 |
| This was Stella's impression of the Walmart bathroom, she's the one that REALLY had to go. |
We went to Hobby
Lobby to get more tulle for Stella’s costume, but it didn’t feel the same as
the other tulle, so I didn’t get it. Instead we went back to Jo-ann’s where the
original came from, you know what that deal is don’t you? (I told you it was
going to be a tiring day.) They were sold out!
At that
point, my “extra ankle” hurt so bad I didn’t care if we got it or not. So home
we go, besides Teddy had to get to school.
Ted was a sweetie and brought him to school before he went to a meeting.
I finally
get the candy corn costume finished. Thank goodness.
Ted came home sooner than expected, so Stella and I
head out for a few more errands. We obviously need more tulle.
 |
| She was tired, but was given the option of staying home with Ted, she refused. |
 |
| Off to get the tulle. |
 |
| Had to buy accessories for my costume. |
We meet Ted
and the kids at the play ground. (Left my phone/camera in the car) Head home
and Maizie tries on her costume and then Captain America tries on his. He may
have gotten the last one in his size.
 |
| This is one happy little boy. |
Since its
tuna salad week, Maizie hasn’t been eating anything (I mean NOTHING) at school.
The only thing she has while she’s there is a juice box and a milk. So tonight
I made her favorite…spanikopita (I didn’t really make it, it’s frozen) and
salad.
Showers went
smoother than usual, good thing because I am exhausted and I still need to
finish Holly Golightly’s skirt.
Kids in bed.
Check!
Stella’s
costume completed. Now that my own personal Project Runway challenge is
complete, I am going to sit on the couch and see if the All-Stars can handle
the pressure (and to see how bitchy Ivy’s going to be).
