Screeching and giggling
they take to the streets
Stomping and marching
their bags filled with treats
Wearing masks and disguises
all spooky and creepy
Some get surprised
and some get all weepy Continue reading

This week my girls started at a new school. Hubby and I decided that for various reasons the previous school they attended just wasn’t working. I stressed over this decision for a good couple weeks.

I could have sworn i had another bottle. hmmm I get to thinking, someone has been in my stuff;by someone I am thinking hubby. Continue reading

Ahhh, tonight isn’t the case you see; I have mastered ironing. In fact I find myself looking forward to this time alone, kids in bed, hubby watching his tv. Continue reading
