Halloween...
What would we do without it? A backdated story...
Well, as you all know, my morning wasn't the greatest. It started miserably at 5 am, being scared out of my wits by my ever loving hubby.
About 7 am I have breakfast.
Anyhoo...I had a 9:30 appointment to drop off some Avon to one of my newest customers. It went well...Until she had to tell me she had to cancel her large order. And while I about died right there in front of her, I understood. She had recently had back surgery and they had to double her medication and that lead ( according to her ) a $153 prescription. But she still wanted at least one item from it.
Next on my hectic schedule we ( hubby, live in friend, me and the Terrorist ) went trick-o-treating down town. The city has it in the morning for the little kids up until preschool age so they can have a chance to trick-or-treat at the local businesses on Main Street. And then the elementary aged kids have 3 - 5 pm. Well, we hit every business that was participating in 1 hour and 45 minutes cause we still had two more stops in our holiday visiting. By this time exhaustion has set in big time for me.
My pitiful lunch consisted of a sausage, egg and biscuit thingy from McD's. I'm not really hungry cause I'm still tired..Plus my stomach was in knots from some stress...@_@
So after we have that bit of fun, we go visit my mother briefly at the hospital cause she wanted him to come over in his day time costume, which was his Batman outfit from last year. He absolutely loves it. We didn't stay long cause my Dad wanted us to come and visit him at a place called Harmony House. Well, I was WAY too tired and so was Dylan after his morning trick-or-treating expedition. So we didn't go there and went straight home where, Dylan and I crashed for the next 2.5 hours.
And after the nap, we stayed home ( the baby and I ) so we can have dinner before going out again around 5. Our local Wal-Mart offers in store candy hunting and so after going to my mother in laws house to finish my costume ( I put on face makeup ) by then we were ready. I was an Angel of Death with a bad makeup job and my son was a Tiny Ninja complete with swords. :-) And after we hit Wally World ( where he got a nice haul again ) we hit the neighborhood around my in laws house. By this time it was 7 pm and he was getting tired again, and so was I. So we hit Walgreens where his "aunt" works and got a few pieces of candy from their bowl. ^_^
And after lingering a few minutes there we went to check on Daddy. There weren't many customers that night. Our high school was having Senior night and the final ( if I'm not mistaken ) football game of the season, so a lot of people were there instead of home. Which really sucked because Dylan would have had a lot more candy than he did..Of course Daddy and I would have been more than happy to uh, "help" him eat it... ^^;; Anyway, he asked us to come back in an 1.5 hr. and get him since he thought they might close early. And they did and his boss wasn't pleased. Oh well...So we went to go visit my friends mother in the nearby nursing home and stayed there for about 45 minutes before going back to Andy's.
He still wasn't ready so we decided to get some chicken from KFC. Well, this is where we have a bit of police excitement....We get there and we want to go into the lobby and get our separate orders so we don't confuse the poor drive thru person. Well, we can't get in because the lobby is closed due to Halloween. And that's when two cop cars pull up behind us rather rapidly. We all joked that they were hungry and that they didn't see the sign on the door. Our laughter was cut short as a shift manager let the cops in. We could tell by their body language that it wasn't a dinner run. So we decided to get the hell out of Dodge. And as we were leaving a 3rd cop car pulled into the lot. Well, whatever was going on we didn't want any part of it and scrammed. We got David and went BACK to Wal-Mart to pick up dinner.
By this time it was fifteen minutes to 10 as we were exiting the store. I was fucking starved by then. All I had to eat since 12:30 was the stupid biscuit. The little bit of candy I ate from Dylan's haul was all that was keeping my sugar from dropping...I never want to have another day like that. It was too damn crazy. I wound up scarfing down dinner too fast and I got full really fast too...
Anyway, that was my crazy ass day. I actually went to bed early because I was so damn tired. And I rarely do that... @_@
