Okay. The Christmas tree is now up. Merle has literally been asking since July when she saw someone in the apartment across from us had theirs up (or left up still from last year).

I promised her that we would put it up tonight if she cleaned up the area that we planned on putting it, and damn she did a pretty decent job.

So now it is up and the Christmas ambiance is kicking in.

Well, this has been a fun week, hasn’t it? I’m not a stress eater because stress usually turns my stomach, but this week. Oh, this week I demoed through the Halloween candy like it was my single goal in life.

Never in my entire life have I ever refreshed pages on the computer as much as this week.

And 99.9% of the time nothing changed.

It was a cold one today so we did a quick run outside to take a couple of Halloween costume photos for Merle.

They didn’t turn out super great but we were freezing and we just wanted to get it done and get back home quick.

Roo is still finalizing her costume. Like literally right now at 10:30 pm.

Remember the days when you used to fold your jeans in at the ankle and then pin them with safety pins, then wear a pair of slouch socks? No? Am I dating myself?

Anyway, I have been longing for some cozy socks like that and I think that I found them. I want black, grey, and white set.

I am not sure if this has felt like a long week or a short week. I have no idea. That honestly sums up the last 7+ months for me. Not a f**king clue what is going on.

So while I was finding things I liked tonight I noticed a theme which leads to a couple of things about me.

Are any of your kids super dramatic about relatively small things? Both of mine are. They get it from their dad. They hate needles as all kids do, and we went to get our flu shots yesterday.

Merle was so nervous she was sweating profusely which made it difficult to get her arm out of her sweatshirt to get the shot.
