This years Halloween almost killed me.
I have this really stupid hang up about making my kids costumes. I think homemade costumes look much better than the cookie cutter store bought ones. This wouldn't be as much of a problem if I had some iota of crafting talent.
What makes this story much worse (at least from my point of view) is the fact that this year I had to make Sharkboy and Lavagirl costumes. If Disney had been smart enough to make these costumes, I would have bought them in a second.
In fact, I almost dropped $50 on a handmade on off of eBay. It's still handmade by someone, so I thought it would be OK.
Then there was the trick or treating. We went out for 2 HOURS. This is entirely too long and I have no idea what my husband and I were thinking. We only have 2 kids and they don't even get sugar that often.
We came home with a grocery bag FULL of candy. Do I need the extra temptation? Hell no. But there it is. The chocolate is calling to me from the fridge as I type this.
I really need a few weeks to recover from this holiday, but hey, guess what? Thanksgiving is only 3 weeks away. How am I going to survive the holiday season if I am already exhausted and it hasn't even really begun?
I'm in a lot of trouble...
