Yay, last night a finally finished my kid’s costumes for Halloween.  I’m headed to LA today with Olivia and a friend.  We just need a change of scenery and I need a few things at IKEA (always).  I’m hoping their Christmas decor is out – gotta get me some of that fun Swedish stuff.

This week has been a little strange.  I’m extremely exhausted, and kind of feel like I’m just about to get sick.  I just want to curl up on the couch and nap, but there isn’t any time to.  I think I’ve just had too many things on my plate lately. I’m hoping this week I can slow down a bit.  So, I apologize for the lack of posts this week.  I had big plans, but just not enough hours in the day. Part of my problem right now is dealing with a High Schooler, Jr. Higher and Preschooler. Their schedules are all over the place and I can’t keep on top of their activities and the places they have to be. Right now, my mom role is taking all my daylight hours. Can you relate?

I hope you have a great Halloween! And if you are going to through a little Halloween get to together, you might want to check out these ideas from some of my favorite bloggers:
