Save your money!

For Halloween I thought I would make my son a homemade costume, because I wasn't sure he would even wear one. So I saw this car made out of a box in my Parents magazine and thought I would attempt it. It actually came out really cute, I had a steering wheel, tires, and little straps to keep it on him. Hubby was going to decorate it for me. But when I tried to put it on him he was having nothing of it. Fine. So I went and bought a $20 costume at a store where all sales were final and guess what? He wanted nothing to do with that either! And he didn't want to go trick or treating for candy. So he spent the evening on my lap handing out candy. I would post pics of the car costume I made but I threw it in the recycle bin in a moment of frustration.

Meanwhile my daughter and cousin had a blast and loaded up on the goodies. She went as a mummy and he a vampire. She initially wanted to be a housewife and wear my slippers and robe, all while carrying a baby on her hip, but changed her mind at the last minute. Tonight while she sleeps I'm confiscating the chocolate.

Yes!

Tomorrow hubs and I are going to an ADULT ONLY Halloween party. Thank the heavens! A night out with other adults, not having to worry about the kiddos. I can drink as much as I want (three drinks max or I'll get sick) and not have to worry about having to send my kids to therapy later. We desperately need this night out. My son has been super clingy pushing away hubs and I think he is getting his feelings hurt. So this will be good for us to get out and just relax. I am going dressed as an 80's workout diva, hot pink sparkly leg warmers and all! Hubby refuses to dress up. I told him to tape a Smarties candy to his ass and go as a smart ass, very fitting for him.

Sorry dear blog

I have neglected you, I just get so busy, work, kids, kids, and work, oh and hubby I must not forget my hubby. I think he is feeling a bit neglected. My two and a half year old son falls asleep in my bed (then I move him to his bed) but hubby came in and my son freaked out, didn't want him in the bed. I felt bad for my husband, I can tell he gets his feelings hurt. I told him it's totally normal and soon our son will be plotting hubby's demise and planning to marry me, he didn't find that nearly as amusing as I did. Our daughter went through the same complex with him. No one could get near her daddy when she was little.

So I have been making more of an attempt to be overly generous with the hugs and kisses to daddy in front of my son and it is working. He'll go give daddy hugs and kisses now and even last night went and laid down with him on the living room floor. He goes through phrases.

Yoga

Yoga is the control freak mommy's Valium. I am constantly on the go, busy, feeling guilty because lately my kids are eating more processed foods then home-cooked foods, and this past week dealing with two sick children. I have been intrigued by the yoga class at my gym, soothing music floating out the door, mommies looking very relaxed on the way out. So today I went to a yoga class and loved it! It's actually harder than it looks but it was very relaxing. I concentrated on my breathing and my poses, I actually could have fallen asleep on the floor during the cool down. I came home relaxed and was a much more pleasant mommy.

Just one.......

So I'm sitting last night on the couch listening to my husband, we weren't really arguing, just disagreeing and while I'm sitting there staring at him, I get this urge just to punch him, right in the nose! Seriously, while he is sitting there defending his point of view (it was something about how he really doesn't look, he glances) and I'm thinking...."What would he do if I just punched him a good one, right there, BAM! Would I have time to make it to the bedroom and lock myself in?" Seriously? Who thinks of stuff like this? I think my hormones are all wacky.



And the guy does not look-ever-he glances. He calls me at work a few days ago because he can't find the envelope with the grocery money. I look in my purse, it's not there I tell him. He swears that I have misplaced it. So I get home and he asks me too look for it. Fine. I look one more time in my purse then go to where we always keep the money. I move a small coin bank and lo and behold there it is. Right there where it always is. He swears up and down that I found it in my purse and put it there, nope. He just doesn't look, he glances and if he doesn't see it then it's misplaced or lost. Move something dammit! I love my hubby but he drives me crazy sometimes.

Pregnant

No I am not pregnant, but for about a week, I seriously thought I was. For the past year or so my periods have been screwy. I talked to my OB about it and he basically said I'm aging, deal with it. Okay, not like that, but that is the way I took it. So last month my period was barely there, 3 days of light spotting. Then I was about a week late this month. I started thinking, what if all the running I have been doing knocked my IUD loose and one of those little suckers got up in there?? Maybe that is why I can't lose the last ten pounds, never mind the two Hostess Cupcakes that I ate in ONE NIGHT. Boobs hurt, a bit heavier (even though I am running now), moody as hell. So last night I walked to the store to get a test, but I only took ten dollars. Since when do pregnancy tests cost fifteen dollars?? And of course today I started. Whew!

Although, I was entertaining the idea of having a little brother or sister for my son to grow up with. My daughter will be off to college when he is in third grade. I thought about how to convert my hubby's Star Wars room (yes you read that right) into an extra bedroom, and how I could finally get him to convert the garage into his man cave. I was getting excited. I mean, my aunt had her second child at forty, if she could do then I could too.

But it's not happening. I am a bit disappointed.

Ingrate

I know that I am going to come off as a total spoiled bitch because while my husband did get me a gift, it was an email from Amazon that said, "You have been given a gift card from The Worlds Greatest Husband". Hmmmm, yes I am thankful, but am I evil for wanting a bit more romance?? An email notification of my gift card? That and dinner, which by the way was great.

He knew that I was a bit disappointed. I told him, I truly only expect romance two days out of the year our anniversary and Valentine's Day . (I told him over dinner while we were talking about what each other would do if one of us became brain dead.) I didn't pout or let it ruin our dinner, but I did ask him why. I'm so bad, I kept expecting him to give me a mushy card or love letter, to surprise me with a small (sparkly) token of his affection. But my gift card will have to do.

The gift card is to go to pay half of my Kindle. So the thought was there, even if it was a bit off.
I love my husband, I do, but romance is not his strong suit.
