This was the most tiring day of the week and I knew it was going to be before it even started, not a good omen.
I opted out of the shower portion of the day, just didn’t have the energy (nor did I care); and frankly I’ve taken a shower every day lately and I deserve a break. Luckily before 7AM my peace and quiet came to a screeching halt, I guess I’ve had too much morning time to myself lately. Good thing he doesn’t want breakfast yet, because I really don’t feel like getting up right now.

I can tell already, this is going to be a trying day. I can feel it. I was going to wear yoga pants today no balance out not showering, but I decided on a velour track suit instead. (Not far off really)
Maizie miraculously got ready in less than ten minutes. Since I had a bunch of errands to do this morning, we drove the two blocks to school. We somehow were almost late, but made it on time. Three days in a row, this has to be a new record.
Stella and I head off on our long list of errands. We need to finish up Halloween accessories before the big party tomorrow night. From the looks of things, Sandy may take a bite out of Halloween, so they better enjoy themselves.
We starteded at BJs and I needed to get a temporary card because mine disappeared from my wallet. This sort of thing happens all the time, one of the hazards of living in a haunted house.
Stella and I went on an incredible journey.
 |
| I should really stop and get gas, but do I have time? So much to do (before noon) |
 |
| This truck was spewing “waste juice” all over the highway and my car EEEWWWW! |
 |
| I mat not have time to stop, but I definitely don’t have time to run out. |
 |
| On the hunt for Captain America. |
 |
| This was Stella’s impression of the Walmart bathroom, she’s the one that REALLY had to go. |
We went to Hobby Lobby to get more tulle for Stella’s costume, but it didn’t feel the same as the other tulle, so I didn’t get it. Instead we went back to Jo-ann’s where the original came from, you know what that deal is don’t you? (I told you it was going to be a tiring day.) They were sold out!
At that point, my “extra ankle” hurt so bad I didn’t care if we got it or not. So home we go, besides Teddy had to get to school.
Ted was a sweetie and brought him to school before he went to a meeting.
I finally get the candy corn costume finished. Thank goodness.
Ted came home sooner than expected, so Stella and I head out for a few more errands. We obviously need more tulle.
 |
| She was tired, but was given the option of staying home with Ted, she refused. |
 |
| Off to get the tulle. |
 |
| Had to buy accessories for my costume. |
We meet Ted and the kids at the play ground. (Left my phone/camera in the car) Head home and Maizie tries on her costume and then Captain America tries on his. He may have gotten the last one in his size.

| This is one happy little boy. |
Since its tuna salad week, Maizie hasn’t been eating anything (I mean NOTHING) at school. The only thing she has while she’s there is a juice box and a milk. So tonight I made her favorite…spanikopita (I didn’t really make it, it’s frozen) and salad.
Showers went smoother than usual, good thing because I am exhausted and I still need to finish Holly Golightly’s skirt.
Kids in bed. Check!
Stella’s costume completed. Now that my own personal Project Runway challenge is complete, I am going to sit on the couch and see if the All-Stars can handle the pressure (and to see how bitchy Ivy’s going to be).
Head on over to Adventuroo for more Wednesdays.
Phew!!! Those days are just exhausting, and I know what you mean about murphy's law meaning the store you go to is out of what you need. So frustrating!!!
Wow you guys were out and about a lot! Yikes. ANd I agree…you deserved a shower skip day 🙂
Glad you found some tule! Hope you all enjoy the Halloween party!
My girls would never let me hit that many stores in one day – you are a lucky woman !!! And I'm down with the skip a shower front, in fact I think I may have this morning, can't even remember?
Love the reaction to the Walmart bathroom- I agree! 😉
Your day wore me out!! I don't think I could have survived that many stores!
That is a lot of stores in one day. Wow. I only went to Target yesterday, and couldn't handle going out again, even though I sort of had to! ha!
WOW! You got A LOT accomplished!!!
Your shower comment cracked me up! And man that's a lot of stores– I hate when I have to circle back to the same store when running errands– ugh! Hopefully your Friday was easier and thanks for linking up!
