Halloween was wet this year. It was as fun as that sounds. Not really. We found some good spots in there with the kids and making those. . . .memories. Maybe this would be a good one to forget. But they got lots of candy and lots of seeing others dressed up in their clothing. It was a good day. The kids were very cute. Patrick of course didnt dress up. He went off to a friends house for a while. Ireland was a goth-well kinda. She is too cute to pull off a goth! Liam and Bennie were both soldiers. As long as they get it out of their blood now I am good. Shea was a mermaid. All pink. After a few hours she was as wet outside as inside. Sean and I were the usual dressed up parents-as parents.


Time to be on another soap box. I went to a friends house to learn to shop with coupons. It was fine. Except if you asked any questions. Which, in this circumstance, every question was a dumb question. I am sure I bit my tounge no less thatn 4 times. The best one was when I mentioned in quiet conversation that cancer thrived on sugar. At which point the consultant blurted out "everything causes cancer" It was truly all I could do to NOT ask her how many times she has had cancer. I have never heard that fruits and vegetables caused cancer-just sayin. Then I decided to lash out with sarcasm the rest of the night. Frazzled her a bit and I kinda liked it. That is my mean streak in partial bloom.
