My house has been a spooky place this past week. There has been a foul witch haunting these parts, but I think she has been vanquished!
I'm not sure what is going on, but I've been a little too in touch with my inner hag. I am planning to dress up as a witch for the big day, but I wasn't planning on embracing the role so thoroughly! (Maybe I can just claim I was method acting?)
There isn't really anything wrong. All the small things just added up and my world starting to feel a bit too heavy. My minions have been misbehaving more than usual. Sleep has been elusive on account of teething and too much Halloween excitement. My husband went on a work trip last week. I have two giant pimples on my chin. I have a bigger than normal list of crap to take care of. But really I have nothing major to complain about and yet I find myself bitching.
I am normally a glass half full kind of girl, but this past week all I see is the empty half of everything. I generally roll with the punches, but I pretty much fell down about a week ago.
So I'm trying to pick myself back up. I've been drinking a few more cups of tea and squeezing in time to visit with friends. I am working a little less this week and reading a bit more. I've been trying to find fun activities to do with the kiddos. I've been avoiding the depressing news and sticking with the Style section of the paper. And I might have broke into the Halloween candy a little early.
And it is helping. Today is the first day I've really felt like myself for awhile. I think I've got my groove back. (I suspect it was hiding in the bottom of a glass of Sangria I drank last night out with friends.)
Hopefully, the witch is really dead. I really didn't like having her around.

Well, glad you're feeling better. That witch likes to visit me too from time to time..
Maybe it's because hubby is gone and everything is resting on your shoulders. Have another glass of sangria. It couldn't hurt.
Have a terrific day. :)
Sangria is the answer to all woes! I'm glad you are feeling better, chin up and give yourself a break!
Good to hear you're feeling a bit better. Booze is the cause of, and solution to, all life's problems.
Ahh, I to get cranky and times with friends ALWAYS makes it better.
I had 3 enormous zits last week, as a result of my home glycolic peel -- but you know what.... zits are hauling the yucky stuff out, so you can blossom like the swan you are meant to be.
And a teething kid might as well be reason to want to run away from everything.
Sangria is so good. I think I'm due for some in my next margarita, whenever that may be.

i totally get where you are coming from. i need to find my pleasant-ness. it's hard when my kid is acting SO BAD.
I actually said to myself in my head today, "do NOT drive angry." LOL.
My two "angels" were anything but in the grocery store. All the old women and single men (huh?) who shop at this teeny Giant near me were all aghast at the mom losing her sh*t because her kids apologies were just not good enough after their playing led to a hand injury (yeah, a hand injury, sigh).
If only I had a pointed black hat and green makeup, it would have been a perfect moment of witchiness.
I agree with Sandee, extra sangria is always a good thing. So is coffee at Grounded. Let me know if you are up for some soon. :)
LOL we all need to kill the inner witch sometimes ha ha!
I feel you. When I hit that slump, vodka and chocolate help pull me out. :)
Happy you're feeling happier!
I hate those weeks when we feel in a funk. It's pretty miserable, but I'm glad that you're kicking that nasty witch out!
BOYCOTT AMERICAN WOMEN
Why American men should boycott American women
http://boycottamericanwomen.blogspot.com
I am an American man, and I have decided to boycott American women. In a nutshell, American women are the most likely to cheat on you, to divorce you, to get fat, to steal half of your money in the divorce courts, don’t know how to cook or clean, don’t want to have children, etc. Therefore, what intelligent man would want to get involved with American women?
American women are generally immature, selfish, extremely arrogant and self-centered, mentally unstable, irresponsible, and highly unchaste. The behavior of most American women is utterly disgusting, to say the least.
This blog is my attempt to explain why I feel American women are inferior to foreign women (non-American women), and why American men should boycott American women, and date/marry only foreign (non-American) women.
