Good Morning

Hope you all had a nice sleep last night.The sleep thing is still messing with me.I usually can get to sleep but staying asleep is a problem.Hopefully i'll get back to my full 8 hours soon?

Well how was your holloween? I took my two grandchildren out for a little bit before they went with their parents for the night.My 6 year old grandson was a ninja turtle,and my 4 year old granddaughter was a fairie princess.They were adorable,they melt my heart bit time!

I laid there in bed at 4 am,trying to get back to sleep but decided the heck with it,might as well get up and take a trip to dunkin donuts at 5,so im on my way for coffee and i think i'll grab a box of those little munchkin thingys...place your ordres(i love the blueberry ones!)~KIM
kim,

goodmorning, trick or treating is great excersise huh? i sat outside and passed out candy, the cool crisp air had me tired by time i came inside. it was a nice clear night though and my neighbor had a bonfire going so the crackling of the fire and the smell is so mesmerising. its my favorite. i wish they would make a candle that smells like a camp fire. the closest i came is buying cedar and mesquite inscence off the ojibwa indians in northern michigan. oh and i LOVE dunkin donuts coffee, its my favorite, i'll take a large double cream double sugar and i'll pass on the donuts : ) do you have anything special planned for today?

terrianne
What restraint,NO DONUTS,send me some of that will power.I was just reading your post to Rae about the kids and their candy, do you throw some of their candy out?LOL...my kids always hid theirs from myself and each other(but i was never LOOKING for it to throw it away unfortunately,lol) The weather was perfect,the first nice holloween we've had here in NY in years,i think it was like 63 degress out,it was wonderful! Going into work later this morning 9:30 instead of 7, so im enjoying the few hours i have,relaxing,typing,drinking that coffe and eating them yummy donuts you have such willpower to pass on!~KIM
kim,

i wish i could call it will power but really i have a sensative stomache to sugar and plus sugar makes me psycho hahaha and yes i really throw thier candy out. it dont bother me a bit! half the time i find it jammed in my couch or on the floor or somewhere else so i figure it isnt really that important to them anyway. yeah i remember hiding my candy too i have 2 sisters and a brother! i had to hide everything, my records/cassettes (makes me feel old not saying cd's hahaha) i hid my clothes, make up, you know how sisters are. i am a middle child, that should explain alot hehe

terrianne
Oh how i know!!! Im the oldest of 7 girls,nothing was sacred in our home.Clothes were community property,seven of us in 2 bedrooms.We SHARED everything! I couldtn count the times we fought over clothes,makeup,even deodorant,lol...we are all close though and it was a good childhood,but i never had a minute of privacy.And had to hide everything i ever had,but someone ALWAYS found it and helped themselves.~KIM
kim,

you poor thing, how many sisters did you have? i had to share a bedroom with 2 sisters too. oh and how many bathrooms did you have to share hahaha remember the fights over the bathroom? that was one thing when i got a place of my own is we were going to have enough bedrooms for everyone and more then one bathrooms. plus i stopped at 2 kids cause i didnt want to have a middle child lol

terrianne
SEVEN....7 girls,we shared 2 bedrooms and one bathroom.Dont even get me started on the bathroom,lol,no really,they are all great girls and for the most part we got along,didnt have too many fights.We basically just knew we had to share,money was tight,as i got older(i am the oldest) and i babysat or did other jobs for money,they would get so excited when i bought new clothes or makeup,perfume,because they knew it was like buying it themsleves,lol

I know what you mean.When i got married and finally had my own bedroom for the first tiem in my life(well my husband was there too,but that dont count,lol)it was pure heaven,it felt strange,but i got used to it real quick.It felt odd being able to set things out,fill the closets and dressers and not have to worry if it would still be there when i went looking for it.WOW...this brings back alot of memories.
kim,

yeah memories, dont ya just love to reminice? i do. i know it was a love hate with my sisters but we always knew no matter what we were there for each other. we even had boyfriend issues. when one would break it off with a sister they would move to a different sister, matter of fact the running joke was when we all were married is all the husbands would tell each other they married the wrong sister hahaha real nice huh? but actually now that i am older i just am over the whole drama thing with my sisters and my brother and i are the closest. besides he lives 10 minutes from me and we have way more in common. my sisters live an hour from me and thats a beautiful thang : )

terrianne
good morning...well, y'all just brought me down memory lane...i had 3 sisters, no brothers...did the clothes borrowing thing, we were fortunate....2 girls to one room....last house we lived in was 3 girls, one bathroom....geez! what were my parents thinking?

janet,

boy do i hear you, to this day i don't get ready in the bathroom, i sit on the couch or in my bedroom and do my hair and make up and i even have enough bathrooms one with a built in vanity, it just doesnt feel comfy. (there's no place like home, there's no place like home : )

Redd
Morning,Janet & Redd,it has been nice walking down memory lane this morning. I think families were much closer back in those days.Peopel couldnt afford big homes,everybody had to share/get along.Sometimes we did,sometimes we didnt but we always had each other for company(whether we wanted it or not,lol)~KIM
Goodmorning all.First thank you all once again for being who you are.I am feeling better(much).kim I have the same problem sleeping.Its getting better I get at least 4 hours which I can deal with.
Anyways it looks nice out in NY today.My mom & I are going out for a bit.It still makes me feel so good that my mom desided she wants to get to know me without my evil sister messing it up like she usually does.Anyways I hope you all have a nice day & Ill probaly check in when I get back.Talk soon to all love mj

Kim, memory lane is always fun to stroll down. My brother and I each try to think of the stupid things we did as kids and call each other out on them.

Janet, mmmm tea sounds good. Did you go out trick or treating last night?

Redd
i bribed my oldest to take him out...wasn't feeling up to it....it's been such a long time since we had rain, but don't ya know...10 minutes before they left, the heavens opened up...lol....


It started to rain just as we were walking back up to the house. How much candy does one kid need anyways? Its ridiculous how much he collected...good thing I'm around to help him out :)

Redd

i had about 60 trick treaters or so and i passed out pixie stix, i swear every kid was gasping with excitement or them pixie stix, it was so cute hehehe. so i had a goo halloween, my kids had fun, but i will be busting into there stash while they are away, eating a bit and throwing some away lol i know i am so mean but thats just me, i been accused of having a mean streak (like its a bad thing : )

what about you and your trick or treater? did you go out with him? thats fun too. this is the 2nd year i havent gone out with them, but my sis in law took cj, he's still a bit young to go out alone. paige went out with a mob of her friend(thier all good kids, i am super proud of her : )
