Ghouls and Boys

 Happy Halloween everyone!! I like Halloween. To me it signifies the beginning of the holiday season, and being that much closer to Thanksgiving, and then Christmas. I love the time of year between Halloween and New Years. I feel better during that time, I'm more pleasant to people in general.

We're not handing out Halloween candy this year though. As sad as that news is, (because I always give out chocolate for Halloween candy) we just couldn't afford it this year. PLUS Rob has a football game, so that was a nice excuse to not be at home. If I were at home I'd be sitting downstairs in the dark hoping no one would knock on my door asking for candy. I'd have to seriously dissapoint a lot of people in my neighborhood. And I hate sitting in the dark on Halloween.

Both Rob and I have been sick this past week with two different sicknesses. Rob has had body aches and a cough. I've had a serious sore throat and sinue issues. It's like we caught the flu, but God split up the symptoms between us so we wouldn't be overwhelmed with yuck. Just sick at the same time...handy.

As far as Rob's job search is going, I think we've probably come down to either applying at a grocery store, or McDonalds. *sigh* While I understand his lack of motivation to apply at either of the two places, I'm getting tired of being poor. I'm also beginning to believe I'm the only one who completely understands our financial situation. But, I can't say anything I haven't already said, in any other way, that would make him see how stressed I am about it all. So I just love him, and continue to hope that the dentist office calls me more than twice in one month.

Mom and I are getting ready to head to Texas in a week or two. Arly's baby is just about done cooking. We're going to be there through Thanksgiving. I don't think I've spent a Thanksgiving with Arly since she got married. That's to long. Maybe someday she'll come up here for a holiday...Christmas maybe? :) That'd be fun.

The Ladybug Picnic


This video was my favorite on Sesame Street when I was younger. The guy who sings it got a job at Pixar later. 
He wrote, directed, and did all the voices and music for a short video about a sheep in a desert. It was really cute.
I also get this song stuck in my head...a lot.


There's not really much more to say. I haven't been feeling well the past few days so I've been trying to take it easy.

Enjoy the video. :) It makes me smile.

Pumpkins are on sale at Safeway and Albertsons now. Yay October!!

It's time for a deep clean of my house. We have the "coaches after party" at our house this Friday, and I need to get it ready. There is an interesting dynamic that plays into the "coaches after party" it's almost like the wives are trying to outdo each other without actually admitting it to each other, or themselves. Last time we had Mexican-ish with a disgusting pudding pie type thing. However this week, since it's at our house, we're having corn chowder and cinnamon rolls. Which means I have to make everything, and keep it warm until about 11 at night when everyone comes over. No big deal, but on top of all that I'm giving my house a thorough deep cleansing. Which is terrifying.

I honestly don't think my kitchen has ever been this clean. I don't think Rob even knows to what extent I've gone through to clean my house this week. I think if he knew he would wonder why I was doing all of that. But trust me, some of the coaches wives (and one is also my co-worker) will see every speck of dirt I don't get to. Must carry on...must disinfect my house...must keep my husband contained to only two rooms (bedroom and bathroom) so he doesn't explode his clutter piles on my freshly disinfected surfaces...must...soldier...on...must...get...every...last...speck...of...dirt...
