Graduation day is tough for adults. They go to the ceremony as parents. They come home as contemporaries. After nineteen years of child-rearing, they are unemployed.

Post Halloween
Niece #1 and Catcherdude had a blast at the lil halloween party thrown at his TKD. They played games. Ate. Had prizes. Played more games. Got grab bags. Left. Prefect amount of time. Didn't have to do all the T or T crap. Nice!
I took my camera..but no pictures. I do have one of neice before we left.
So that is the sum of this Halloween. I am glad it is over! Now on to Thanksgiving. As anymore what does Halloween mean to me? The start of the holiday season!!
Hallo-weenie Day!
I can not believe it is the last day of October. Next thing we know it will be Thanksgiving, Christmas, 2009! We really do not get kids around here. Well we do, I take that back. Older children. Too old and no costumes. So the light is out here. Nuff! I am opting instead of taking niece #1 and Catcher dude to a party being held at his TKD. That should be good anuff. Then I do not have to worry and all the hassle and crap related to this dumb..get on my nerves..p.i.t.a wonderful holiday.
Today kid has another day off. Well he has a 1/2 day. Waste of time going. Classes are finished. Grades due yesterday. New class schedule for Monday, so waste of time day. They did actually plan the rewards party for that dumb ass, p.i.t.a, junk for sale, didn't make squat for the school great school fundraiser they held last month. But the students parents, were sucked in required to sell 12 items to go to this "party". I was more than willing to just skip it, and let Catcher Dude stay home for the waste of the day 1/2.
Still not moving much, medicine is working. Just slower than I would like. I have tons to do. But no pick and go to do it. Oh well. It will get done. soon.
Pictures from last Halloween when he volunteered at a neighborhood haunted house. Which as I remember he got deathly ill that evening from being in the cold and rain and couldn't go to school next day as he was running a 102 temp.
~*~* Happy Halloween! Keep the kiddos safe tonight!! ~*~*

Favorite Day...
Now clothes. *thud* He has fallen into that category. What category? The child that has to have the certain types, the certain brand, the certain size, the certain color. *thud*
I decided to put my big girl pants on and deal .. deal by not saying one word. I totally left the decisions up to him. I once added a thought and left it at that. It took 161 months for him to start caring about what he wore. So I guess I did pretty good getting away with it as long as I did.
But anyway we had a fun day. Added to his wardrobe for the fall/winter. Few laughs. Some eats. Yeah! All good.
Now what to do Friday?.. ah yes, home again. Do they ever go to school? Home Friday. Go to school Monday, new trimester starts so new classes, and off Tuesday for election.
home.school.home.school.
Geez. Give me time to miss um! [totally a joke, as I always like him home]

Other than that I am still on sick leave and not doing much else. All the house will sit and wait. All of kids run me here ... run me there will be passed by. Though I still might go watch the Fall Run.
So hopefully by mid-morning I have

Okay so I am home now. This really was not my day [again!] I got stuck sitting on the hwy for way to long as yet ANOTHER accident closed yet ANOTHER hwy down. This is getting absolutely ridiculous!! I left way early in hopes to sneaking in early so I could get possible maybe
Dr: Yes they did.
Pharmacy: No we didn't.

SOMEONE GET ME MY SCRIPT!! I am dying here. Finally after starting this fight at 10 a.m. I get my wonderful, glorous meds at 3. So I have them. Taking them. Phone again. Ugh!

Weekend over? Seriously?
- Ran by catcher dudes school, to pick up a check, which wasn't there. Of Course!!
- Then we went to Borders to pick up the next book in the series for CD. New Moon
- Then to Bed & Bath for CD bought nothing.
- Had mall lunch .. blah!
- Shopping at American Eagle for CD. Actually got him some Christmas Gifts.
- Shopping at Sports Authority for CD. Had to get new cup and catcher's glove. I was saving the glove for Christmas, but dad convinced me he had to have now to break in before season starts.
Well so after running around like a mad woman on Friday with dh. We had dinner with my mother and after that I decided I seriously needed a drink. Came home to find ice box downstairs empty so I sent DH back out for me a bottle of wine. yeah me!! I drank myself to a sound snooze. slept great.
Only to awaken Saturday morning with this horrible sinus thing. After that all plans of nothing really turned to nothing!! Even the honey dew list from post before.. sat. I have laid in bed all weekend. I still feel like crappy-poo. I did rasie out of my bed to make chicken soup. But that was it.
I am not sure I can cope with the ahead week. Man!?! Do I dislike being ill. But I am glad it came about during weekend. weekend with not a thing to do. weekend. FW had a sinus thing going on a lil bit ago and was suggusted drinking lemonade with vodka. I wonder if she ever tried it, and if it worked? hmmm ...
So that was my weekend. zero. zip. nadda.

T.G.I.F.
So as far as the weekend goes I think it will just be a lounge around the house weekend. The DH and I was going to have lunch this afternoon with a fellow worker bee, but that fell through. I do have some honey dew things that we could work on.
- Hang Molina picture that CD got for Christmas 2007.
- Post the NO TRESPASSING signs we got for the fences
- Move hutch from basement
- Work on putting the basement back together from flooding in April/May
- Hang bikes up in garage
So there are some lacking items around here. Though as I was sitting here I am thinking we should head out and do a little Christmas shopping. (yes you read that correct) See DH and I only get so much time together to do anything. So have to make it count. We only have 5-6 Fridays alone until Christmas hits. So never to soon to start. Besides not getting a lot this season. Catcherdude got the hunk of his money allotment in September. But seeing he is 13 not 6 he gets it. Not a biggie! So we may head out and do that today. Guess we could have lunch together, alone, just him and I... what am I thinking? lol.
Happy Friday!!

Dream a lil dream with me.
We were watching Nightmare on Elm Street and got talkin about dreams. I am not sure who mentioned it first, but anyway, some where along the line it came out neither of them dream every night. Where I dream every night. I don't always remember them. But I do in fact dream every night. I sometimes will look forward in getting to sleep to dream. Like a movie night every night.
I first I thought they might just not remember. But they were
Maybe that is why I am so gosh darn tired! My dreams are wearing me out!
So if you come across this post, I would like to hear from you.

Sex With A Cowboy ..
1. She wanted to taste some real Texas Bar-B-Que.
2. She wanted to take in a bona fide rodeo.
And...
3. She wanted to have sex with a real cowboy.
Upon returning, the girls were curious as to how she fared.
'Let me tell you,they have a tree down there called a Mesquite and when they slow cook that brisket over that Mesquite , it's ooooh so good. The taste is unbelievable!'
'And I went to a real rodeo. Talk about athletes. those guys wrestle full grown bulls! They ride horses at a full gallop, then jump off the horses and grab the bull by the horns and throw them to the ground! It is just incredible!'
They then asked, 'Well tell us, did you have sex with a real cowboy?'
'Are you kidding? When I saw the outline of the condom they carry in the back pocket of their jeans, I changed my mind!'

Dinner tonight
Mac-and-Cheese Soup
Catcher dude asked about this the other day, and we haven't had it in a while. So I stopped extra early this a.m. and took a drive to store.
I will start now, and should be ready when kiddo walks in from after school activities. Then we rush off for another night of running about. Actually .. we have one trip tonight. It is testing for TKD. So *crossing fingers*, hoping and praying,

October is here ..
Last night was the last double header for team #1 (G). They ended the fall 7-3. Not bad. Last night was brrr..brrr.brr chilly! But we made it through. All that is left in the season for this team is a tournament the weekend of 20,21. They were going to play in a tournament the 13,14 but cancelled. So that will be that until January, then we start back with indoor practices & training.
AS far as team #2 (C). They have 3 more games in their fall season and were done. I doubt we will go back in the spring. But possible.
What I have been thinking is taking him back to where this baseball frenzy all started. Back to the beginning. Let him play on a second team at the lil rec ball fields we have in this area. Though let him play up a year for a challenge. Wipe my hands with the rest.
Though I will have to have a meeting with the head of the house here .. he really has last say. So me making plans and not asking the boss man probably wouldn't be a good idea. The boss-man, head of house, the number one, always likes last say in anything. So when the Catcher Dude wakes, and I remember I will check this over with him.
Meanwhile .. as far as fall. I am glad she is here. Cooler weather, beautiful leaves, pumpkin patches, apples, halloween, all my fav's are coming.
Well I better make use of my time of NOT being on the road today and clean up, laundry, etc. Because these days are rare!!
