Britney Spears Circus Tour ... --- Blah! WHAT CRAP!

So, I am finally getting rid of all that Britney Spears Circus Tour CRAP! I hate anything to do with that fricken Tour! It is where HE met HER while they were working the tour working selling that BS merchandise. It is where THEY took that "extra step". It is where my life was turned upside down. That stuff has been sitting in the house. I see it and it always reminds me of them. So, I am selling it. I figured I can get some money for it. It can go towards bills. We have plenty of those. It's been hard (financially) with him out of work and then starting his own business. He always said he would sell it. He posted it once before and didn't get a bidder so then he threw some of it away. Then he posted again but they didn't hit the reserve. Finally last week he told me that he would just give it all to me and I can take care of it. I am so glad to be getting rid of that visual reminder. I just can't stand it!! The good thing on some of the items is that they were already posted so I just used some of the photos and descriptions that were already there. Why work harder when I can work smarter!! My son even gave me some of his souvenir stuff (his Dad had given him) to sell. He wants the cash!
Cleansing of the house... cleansing of the mind!

Asthma

My asthma has been the worse it has ever been this year. It has been really bad the last month. I had asthma. I had a really bad attack last week. I could barely drive home I was having such a bad attack. I beeped the horn a few times and my son came out, came over to the car, looked at me and went back in the house. He was awesome. He went inside, grabbed my inhaler, called my dad and came back out to take care of me. My neighbor also came out (probably because of the way I honked the horn). My son had me sitting on the porch step asking me if I was okay. I took my inhaler, which was my low one, so my son ran in to find another one. The good thing is that I just got a refill a few days earlier. My neighbor was offering his kids medicine to me (he also has asthma). I shook my head no. Can't really talk when you're in the middle of an attack because you can't even breathe! My dad got there shortly after my son called him. I was starting to feel embarrassed because everyone was just standing there watching me. In all honest, I probably should have gone to the hospital. (I try to be on top of it because I have a friend that died from his asthma. He left behind a wife and a very young son. So sad!)

So, I hate my asthma!! If there was anything I could change about myself it would be NOT to have it!!

Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving we are volunteering to serve food. This is something I have been wanting to do for years but have never found a place where my son could also help. There have always been age limits. We do volunteer here and there with different organizations but never on Thanksgiving Day. We really excited about doing this. This also works out for the best this year because of family issues. It's hard sometimes because of the tensions with my extended family and my husband. Also is the issues we have with my sister. So, this couldn't have come together at a better time. We are spending time together as a family and doing something good for others! This makes me happy!

Halloween

Halloween, it's one of my favorite holidays! I love decorating the house. We have a haunted house we put up. A huge inflatable Frankenstein (my most favorite decoration), a small inflatable frankenstein, ghosts, a "Jason" mask that I get a jacket and stuff so it looks like there is someone standing on the proch. I have a fog machine and a bubble fogger. The bubble fogger is pretty cool. I bought two new ghost this year. One of them moves back and forth on the rope and makes "spooky" sounds. We always have the best decorated house on the block!! (Just saying!!) It is always great when you see the faces of the kids and how they enjoy it. This year we got a lot of compliments on how great everything looked. One family told us that their kids always ask to come to our house so they have to come every year. That was sooo cool to hear! They said that each year we add something new (which is true). I am already trying to think of what do do for next year. We had tons of kids this year. I try to buy good candy but stuff we tend not to eat. I ran out of candy... good thing I bought an extra bag of the stuff we like, so I just used that.
