Leave Me Alone!
The kids, the phone, the dog, the phone, the kids, the husband, the phone, the phone, the phone...In the last hour-
I Gave Caci money to go with her friend to get Ice Cream.
Answered the phone.
Found a glue stick for Joey.
Answered the phone.
Answered the call waiting.
Helped Joey make a man out of leaves.
Installed a computer program for Johnny - while answering the phone 3 more times.
Helped Joey tie his shoes.
Answered the phone.
Let the dog out. Cleaned up his throw up while answering the phone.
Told Justin to turn the music down.
Called to check in on Caci.
Called for Joey to come in while answering the phone.
Told hubby which windows I wanted - as if he will listen.
Answered the phone.
I had to physically bring the phone up to Justin because the music was still so friggin' loud that he couldn't hear me yelling for him.
Emptied the boys laundry basket.
Answered the phone.
Got the dog some fresh water.
Tried to make a grocery list - but the phone rang again - and I had a beep coming in that I refused to answer this time.
Tried to complete grocery list.
Called to check on Caci again because she may have been the one beeping in.
Ignored the ringing phone while I helped Johnny find the computer games guide book.
Answered the door while the phone was ringing again.
Called Caci, as it was her that called when I was answering the door.
Grabbed a bag of fun size M & M's closed my office door, and sat down to check my e-mail and wound up writing this lame post.
You think I would be 100 pounds by the way I never stop.
Perhaps, I should give up the M & M's - and probably food in general. And stop answering the phone ;)

Halloween Candy.
I hope everyone is recovering well from Halloween.Johnny & Joey lasted not even an hour. They hit maybe 25 - 30 houses all together. When we sorted out the candy and inspected it all, Joey had 5 pieces of candy that he liked, and Johnny had 7.
Justin (yes, he wound up knocking on some doors with friends) and Caci did much better. They got lot's of little Pretzel packs and Popcorn balls, which I think is great. And all the kids love them - so there was more treats for Johnny & Joey.
They picked up way too many Snicker bars - disgusting. At least hubby likes them, though they are not on his diet. But he figures one bite size bar a day won't hurt him.I picked out two Peppermint Patties, and one box of Junior Mints. That's it. No Milk Duds - my favorites.
At least the night was beautiful. It was a balmy 62 degrees, so no one needed coats - not even sweatshirts. And we went out a little later then normal, so the sidewalks and door steps were not too crowded.
