I’ve never seen that movie, but just looked up the soundtrack 😱😱😱. It’s amazing. I love Rufus… I cried when I heard him play hallelujah live a few years ago. I mean Jeff Buckley’s sigh at the beginning of his version will forever be the best version, but this is a good second. I also love Ray lamontange… Not a great movie, but Zach Braff really knows how to build a soundtrack. This exactly what my husband said 😂.

Also a touch of The Cranberries is great for 90s moodiness. Cass loves Zombie. Have you heard the cover by bad wolves. I think it’s a really good cover. No. I'll have to check it out.

Transitioned Cadence to party #2, picked up groceries, and now I'm back on the couch.
I have to go retrieve her in a little bit and hopefully she'll be so worn out she'll just want to veg the rest of the day.

Hello! It poured and poured at Trunk or Treat last night. Today has been a bit of a shit show. At L's soccer game C hurt his big toe. X-ray confirmed it's not broken luckily. L was a hot mess and is napping now, thank goodness. We are going to my nieces birthday party soon.

Happy Halloween weekend! We have been cleaning today and I took j to his end of season party and he got the "most coachable" award, which I thought was nice. K has a low grade fever again after her nap but her appetite is back at least.
My mom is at my sister's and somehow fractured her wrist yesterday when getting up off the floor, but didn't mention it to my sister until today, so they are at the ER getting it set. Not sure if she will be able to fly home Monday as expected, and then how she will manage solo. Blerg.

With all the chaos of our trip, I'm not sure I mentioned this but your post reminded me. two weeks ago, my dad was on a 6 foot ladder (only half way up it) inside one of our 53' van trailers. He was pressure washing the walls and the hose got tangled on his feet and he fell. Caught himself on his elbow and completely tore his rotator cuff. His left arm is just dead weight. He can't use the muscle at all. He has surgery next Friday and will be in recovery, unable to drive a semi for 4-8 months. He's already bored and driving us all nuts lol. He's so dang clumsy.

Morning. This morning my in laws came over to celebrate ds’ birthday (their shop is open on Saturday, so yesterday wasn’t an option). It’s still mind boggling how little interest show in us and the kids, they literally talk about themselves and their neighbours second cousin before thinking it might be nice to ask the kid how his party was yesterday. I went to the supermarket and got a bottle of nice Merlot, I figured we deserve it . My boss got me a therapist trough work, I wanted one outside of work, since it isn’t about work, but since the the earliest I could find a therapist was February/March, this might heel me over.

Morning. Mmm...crepes sound good.
I have no clue how late my kids stayed up. The fact that they aren't awake yet tells me it was late.
Busy, but productive day yesterday. We ended up going to a corn maze.
The girls have riding lessons today and have insisted on trick or treating without us tonight.

MH is at the Texans game. My in laws gave us their 5 tickets (their flight doesn't land till 1) and it's family day, but I didn't feel comfortable taking the kids. We're having a lazy day.

Hey. The weather has turned here. I went outside a little bit ago and it was cold and very windy. Trick or treating will suck tonight. DH worked yesterday so it was just the girls and I hanging out at home. The big girls are across the street playing with the neighbors. V still isn’t feeling well. She is very subdued and doesn’t have much of an appetite. I’m wondering if I should take her in or get her tested for covid since this has been going on for a while now.

I dont blame you. Regardless of covid, NFL games are loud and people are crazy. We are going tomorrow night and could have taken Evie, but the tickets are expensive and she's going to be a hot mess already!

nam2013 my in laws are like that. My MIL has shown more interest in the puppy than she ever has her grandchild. I even mentioned it jokingly and she confessed that she just loves the puppy. Like WTF! Anyway I feel your pain. I’m glad you are getting to see someone. Anyone is better than nothing. It’s worth keeping an appointment for further out outside of work just in case you don’t mesh well. That’s kind of how we are piecing by together services for C since everything is so booked. trtlcrzy I hope she feels better. I would take her in for both tomorrow if she’s still down. Poor girl.

The party was fun yesterday. They had a beyblade tournament and C was in the finals. He lost and was doing so with grace until the little shit. next to him rubbed it in his face. He is a known shit and did the same to another kid as well. There were some tears but it ended ok. My brother came over for movie night and that was fun.
Today I ran errands and got my yard prepped for tonight. We are headed to our friends house but I have my porch camera set up to watch reactions. I may use the mic a few times to really scare some kids we know. I love Halloween!

Happy Halloween!
We had a lazy morning and got in a few episodes of Sulphur Springs. We have to take some bins to storage and we’re going to ToT in a neighborhood close by. One of our neighbors with boys the same ages as mine moved this month and they said to come over to ToT there- it should be good. I need to make dinner before we go.
