Did you ever notice that what ever it is that you need, seems to find you? My family has always been "blessed" in that way. What ever is needed is provided. For instance... my hours have been cut due to not enough money at The Home Depot (yeah right). I have gone from 31 to 22-23 a week. If you multiply that, it is about 175-200 less a pay check. That is a lot of money to be missing out on a month. At first that was very frustrating to me. I keep thinking " now what?", but you know what?... I am getting to spend more time with my family and that is worth more to me than 200 a paycheck. I will always find a way to pay the bills, and Christmas will be wonderful no matter how many boxes are under my tree. I love those 3 little butt holes ( John included in that statement), and being home with them has been wonderful.
I look forward to Christmas with a warm heart, and a cup of eggnog in my hand. I cant wait to drive around the neighborhoods looking at the lights (wishing we could see the cuz's house!!). Going to cut our tree down, we do live in The Christmas Town after all!! Putting the kids in their matching jammies on Christmas eve night, going to my parents house Christmas day. I love Christmas and the way it make me feel. I look forward to wrapping the presents while Spencer is at school, and while Bella is napping. Decorating the outside of our house, and kicking the neighbors butts in our little competition!! I want to send cards out to my family, and post all the cards I receive from them. Watching the UPS man drive up to drop off that last expected gift right in time, I live for that!! I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!
Well, I guess I should start by taking down the Halloween, and putting some turkeys out. ONLY 49 SLEEPS UNTIL CHRISTMAS, AND I NEED TO GET STARTED!!
PS, may I tell you that The Dollar Tree sells super cute Christmas wrapping paper, and yes, it is true, it is only a dollar a roll. I went crazy yesterday and will not need any paper for at least 2 Christmases!!!

Cub Scouts...
OMG. Cub Scouts is here at my house, right now. I am sick, so I am avoiding them in the bedroom, however, I would probably avoid them even if I was feeling well. I don't know what the heck is wrong with me. It started around 11 this morning, it is like a burning feeling in my tummy, up high just under my boobs. I am is so much pain, and there is nothing I have taken that is making it ease up at all.
Cut Scouts are freaking loud!! They are running up and down the stairs, slamming doors. It is going to be a long hour and a half. I just hope Bella is a good girl, she is down stairs with the rest of them. I can not chase her around right now, I just feel to horrible. Our bedroom is so not baby proof. Bob is up here with me, he thinks it is too loud too. John was a bit irritated that I did not want Bella up here with me, but I think he understands. As long as she is a good girl, it will be ok. The boys are just coloring Thanksgiving cards, so Bella can get in on that action too.
I am sure there are lots of you that are watching the election stuff on all the major channels, but I just can not do it. It is not that I am not interested, I just can not understand all that politic mumbo jumbo. I am very interested in my local out come, and will watch later tonight when they have a better idea of what is going on. I just don't know how they can even begin to know who is going to win anything, when all but 2 county's had to vote by mail. I know John just got his out yesterday, so they will not get his vote for a few days. I don't know, again, too much to think about. How about this one... we live in Mason County, but voted in the Thurston County election. We called them to tell them about their mess up, and they said to vote Thurston County this time, and they would have it fixed for next time. I did not get to vote for any of the people in my own county. Lame.

8 years in November
So John and I were married 8 years ago on November 18th. Wow. 8 years. That is just crazy. The most crazy part is, I love him more today then I did the day we were married. He is the best man I have ever met, and he makes some beautiful babies too! I love him. We want to go out on our anniversary (have the babysitter already!!), but I am sure we will do the usual... dinner and a movie. I am still excited though. I always thought I would want to renew our vowes at year 10, but damn, that is just 24 month and 14 days away. I think we will wait until our 20th. Any way, I have to go... Cub Scouts are coloring at our house tonight, and I still have to hide all the laundry and sweep the floors. TTFN!!
HERE IS TO PRESIDENT OBAMA!!

We did it!!
October is over, and John did not have to go to the hospital. That would be a first in the past 4 Octobers!!! Too bad, I have supplemental insurance.

Ok, these pictures are way out of order, but I will fill you in as you go. The first few are of our yard last night!! We made the coffin and guillotine this year, but the head stones are from a few years ago. The fog is home made too, from our machine.
This is my mom's costume. What a dork, right?!
Spencer's costume. Cutest vampire in the world!!!
My costume. Ha ha ha.
Bella's costume. CUTE!!
We went for a drive in a graveyard the other night. The "orbs" you see are just dust from us driving on the dirty road. No ghosts that night.
Ok, the next few pictures are us at the pumpkin patch. Again, out of order. This would be Bells crapping out on us. Walking is for the stupid.
My new favorite picture. Damn I am hot!!
This is my son. Wow. He was done carving pumpkins, and it was bath time. However, once in the tub, a turd came a calling, and he had no choice but to go poop. Note he did not wipe the bubbles off first.
Dad carving our pumpkins.
Nice Spencer.
Look for all those seeds boy!!
Ok, again. They were hardcore out of order, but that was our week in a few pictures. I love Halloween, but am just glad it is all over. Now it is time to get ready for Christmas!! Oh man, I need a nap and some aspirin!!

Date Night
So I got a text from my husband this morning saying he wants to take me out on a date tonight. I am very excited. I know money is tight, but I am really excited to go get a new outfit for tonight. So far we are going to see a movie, and go to dinner first. We are old and boring so that is probably the extent of it all. Still, mommy needs a night off from the kids, and I don't mean going to work.
I am on the phone with John right now, and he says that the sitter is busy tonight. Freaking great. I wish he had looked into it before asking me to go some where and getting my hopes up. I am frustrated. Now it is pointless to even try. Whatever.
