What a Blustery Day (299/365)

This morning for me started very early - 3am to be exact. Alice got up
in a dazed panic looking for Teddy. I sent her to the potty, then put
her to bed. I then tossed any turned until I couldn't take it anymore
and I got up at 4am. Strike 1.

It was unusually hot, so I opened the window and the sliding door
causing a fabulous breeze to come in and it cooled me instantly. I
surfed the web trying to get the urge to fall back asleep. Before I
knew it it was 6am and a nice breeze wasn't the only thing coming in
the window. Unbeknownst to me it was drizzling and the intense wind
was blowing it in the house - all over a stack of mail and the rest of
out green cabinet.
Strike 2.

By 7:30am the rain was heavy and the wind was incredible. Then the
sirens went off.
Strike 3.

It was going to be a bad day.

You may have heard that a huge storm passed through here that
stretched from Canada all the way to Tennessee that was in front of
the strongest low pressure front in the month of October ever recorded
- according to my local news man. Needless to say I was pretty glad I
didn't have to be anywhere today.

The girls and I played and I finally decided I'd better work on
Alice's costume again as she needs it for Friday and Sunday! Good
thing I did too because the hand sewing is taking me much longer than
I expected.

Tonight Alice and Matt carved the pumpkins - designs totally by Alice.
One even has a crown because Alice's just had to be a princess.

After my princess went to bed I watched Rocky Horror and then,
unfortunately, I watched The Amityville Horror and now I'm going to
have to watch something happy before heading to bed.

Stupid Halloween.

Even without babies that stuff is scary.
