Who am I kidding.
Lets start with reality:
One:
Everyone stayed up too late last night. Oh, never-you-mind that everyone was in bed but nobody fell asleep until well after 10pm. This alone equals catastrophe for the next day.
Two:
My son wakes up with a fever. (Let the whining begin.)
Three:
No one has eaten real food since I bought Halloween Candy on Tuesday.
These are the kinda things that are already stacked up against me. I will now predict the cluster that is going to be Halloween this year.
ooooOOOOOOOooooOOOOoooooooOOOOOoooooOOooo (That's my spooky ghostly noise.)
First:
My oldest will come home from school and immediately start asking me when she can start dressing up for Halloween causing a complete meltdown from the twins who will think that they are being left out. Meanwhile, I will be trying to get everyone to take a nap, (see above) eat a decent meal, (see above again) and not destroy every Halloween decoration they touch. Not to mention the homework that my VPK child has due tomorrow that I totally forgot to have done until about 6 am this morning.
Next:
My mother will come over to "help". Let the havoc commence with full swing. My beautiful angels turn into raging lunatics when my mother comes over. I don't know why they think the rules don't apply when my mother is involved... Oh wait, yes I do. It's because my mother lets them do what ever they want.
You want candy at 3pm? Sure! You wanna put your costume on before you eat dinner? Sure! You wanna watch tv and not do your homework? Sure! It's Halloween!
Oh yes, mother. I'm calling you out!!!
Lastly:
My husband will get home much later then the appointed time we are anticipating and by the time he will come through the door he will have three stir-crazy, anticipation and sugar filled ankle-bitters in costume all clamoring for his attention and demanding to get out the door as soon as possible, and any delay will in fact ensue a complete and utter meltdown that will make Pompeii look like a hiccup.
Not to mention that I'll be ready to pull my own
hair out, close to tears and moments away from running away myself.
Welcome home, Honey!
There you have it! A prophecy if you will. I feel like it is eerily accurate already. The best part is that Halloween is just the start of a whole season of celebrations that will go exactly like this. Only instead of costumes replace it with Turkey or presents.
It's the most wonderful time of the year!! How long till Saint Patricks day? Now there is a respectable holiday.
