Life

For all of you who don't know this, Christmas is my favorite holiday. Unfortunately, Halloween has to be my kids favorite. So at this point in time we are preparing for the tooth decaying, cellulite producing, excitement that is All Hallows Eve. Well, it is hard not to get a little excited when the kids are and so Jeff and I spent Saturday in Salina buying out most the stores with decorations. And it payed off, Lydia gave me her approval by saying, "Wow, now everyones going to say, "Lydia Mai's mom really knows how to decorate"". She is five and she is giving me her good housekeeping seal of approval. I love her. Acacia is going to be a hippie/austin power gogo girl. Lydia has a Frankenstein costume and Tyson is going to be Spiderman. It should be lots of fun.
I just got my Discovery Toys kit so I am ready to do shows. If anyones interested give me a holler. I needed one more thing to add to my list of things to do. I am looking forward to doing shows, it is one more way to get me out of my house. I feel like Monday through Friday I only leave to take the kids to school and home, so by the weekend I am completely stir crazy. Probably just the opposite of most people.
I have never suffered allergies in my life, but I think this year is an exception. I spent the day outside on Wednesday and have been dealing with a runny nose and itchy throat since then. I have found out that if I take Benadryl, one dose makes me sleepy for about 72 hours. I am still trying to recuperate.
Otherwise, life is good and the kids are staying pretty busy. This week they start a program at the library on Mondays and Tuesdays. I hope that keeps Lydia out of trouble. Last week she was disrespectful to one of my clients, and that was not pretty. Hopefully, she won't act like that again, but she is definitely a child who needs plenty of stimulation, attention and sometimes a good old spanking. Thank God for Nice and Easy hair color.
We still have a house full of cats so if anyone needs a couple let me know. I thought I had homes for the kittens, but some of them fell through.
Anyways, I hope all is well for everyone.
