Halloween Blues

I have to say that I am sad that Halloween is over. I love decorating and eating lots and lots of candy. I know that my mother still believes it is the "Devil's Holiday" but honestly it is a lot of fun. My son was a sea otter (I know, but I really wanted something different). I got it from Animal Planet online and it was really great quality. For as much as you pay at Target or any of the Halloween places, you can find great deals online. I was a rocker on a budget, lol. I bought a wig and tattoo sleeves and threw on a Zeplin t-shirt I had lying around. I was excited to find and make some decorations from Wal-Mart that were super cheap and cute.
Gosh, I am starting to sound like one-of-those mom's, but in our current economic situation we do have to watch our money more. I thought today that I am really becoming a June Cleaver so to speak. I love cleaning and the house is virtually spotless. I love to cook and decorate. I do laundry every other day. It's not that I wasn't a little of all of these things before, but until I had Gavin I really didn't notice it as much. Maybe I am getting older or maybe the motherhood bug took a huge bite out of me! I became a fanatical cleaner when I was pregnant, which is funny b/c I was in the hospital for most of it. Being on bed rest drove me nuts, especially if my not so clean hubby left the room in a muck. Oh well, it is what it is. But, I will never trade my Jeep for a minivan. ;)
