Random randomness and then some Halloween tunes

I'll bet living in a nudist colony takes all the fun out of Halloween. ~Author Unknown
Why is it that for 364 days of the year we discourage our kids from talking to strangers? We tell them to "run the other way from the scary person trying to give them candy"?
Yet.
YET!
One day of the year it suddenly becomes not only OK, but us parents strongly encourage our children to go out and gather as much candy as their little bodies can carry FROM STRANGERS?? Not only do we encourage them to gather the candy, but we let them eat it too??
Why?
Does that strike anyone else as odd??
Not that I am complaining. Nooooo! Not at all. I am always the one that takes the kids Trick or Treating. Jefe would just do one side of the street and be done. But not me baby! I hit entire neighborhoods. My kids are crying "Momma. I'm tired. I wanna go home" and I'm pushing them on like a crazed crack head...
Me: No. We need more candy. Just 3 more houses.
Them: You said THAT 3 houses ago Momma. We're tired.
Me: Do you know how lucky you are to have a Mother who is a candy addict? Now go and get me more candy. Umm. whoops. I mean you. YOU more candy!
I watched the sunrise this morning... it wasn't that hard it was 8:00 in the morning.
YES!!
8:00 in the A.M. When the sun started sending pink lights across the sky. EIGHT people. Eight. What the heck?? That is just not right.
Does congress have nothing better to do than mess with the daylight savings time? (why did they change it?? seriously. is there nothing better for them to do??)
Don't forget to vote.
I like commas. A lot. Have you noticed? I put them, like everywhere. I, like them. To me they are the dramatic pause, that I hear in my head, as I am, typing my stuff... I like them. I use them. So what?? Jefe told me recently that my comma usage and dash (--) usage boggles his editorial mind. I just shrugged my shoulders, and inserted a dash-- and another comma, or two, or three.
Our fun neighbors brought us over a can of "bear be gone" spray for our little adventure! Jefe was really excited about this can of bear be gone spray, and it got me to thinking...
I am going to make (whoa. creative?) a can of "mean girl be gone" spray. All you will have to do is when the girl (or woman) is being mean... say "Hey! Can you hold that thought?" Then get out your mean girl be gone spray and spray it in her face... then I would strongly suggest running the other way.
See? Wah-laa... the mean girl is gone.
What do you think? Will I be a millionaire by next Friday with this hair brained scheme?? I could sell it for $9.99 a can. I think all the junior high girls will be buying it by the box... what do you think??
I can't believe that tomorrow is November.
NOVEMBER!! WTH??
Where has all the time gone? Seriously! I think we have entered some weird cosmic time warp... it's sort of freaking me out.
There ya have it, my random thoughts for the week! I put together a little Halloween play list for you to listen to... just another service I provide over here in Crazyland. It's just some random Halloween tune-age that Thing 3 helped me pick out... she danced her little booty off this morning picking out the songs for you to listen too!
Have a great Halloween, getting candy from STRANGERS! Just remember this: We are all entitled to the Mommy Tax when it comes to the Halloween candy. Make sure you collect your fair share!
See ya on the flip side!

Check THIS out. Is that not the cutest thing you have ever seen?? Or at least one of them?? If I had one ounce of crafting juices left in my body, I would attempt to make that... but I fear my crafting mojo has all run south for the winter.... or for life... I just can't seem to find that crafting mojo. Maybe its with all my decorations that have conveniently gone missing??*********************************************************************

We are headed to Yellowstone this weekend. I am pretty stoked. We've got a cabin on a lake and are vegging all weekend long. Thing 3 has been packed for 3 days now. Do you think she is excited?? I do! (i am too. it will be SO nice to get away!) I am hoping for some sweet shots of animals or geysers or other such things from nature. There will be no phone service and no television. I am excited, but a little worried. I hope the kids don't kill each other...********************************************************************
