All Halloween Weekend!!!

Since Halloween fell on a Sunday this year we found out that some towns here in Oklahoma were doing the trick-or-treating on Saturday instead of on Halloween night.  I loved that idea!!! Thanks to all those "bright" people who are paid to come up with this stuff. You just made Halloween a two day party! I can handle that.  The kids on the other hand......

I don't think they mind so much, however, once the sugar starts dying down they do look a lot like zombies don't ya think?

 My daughter spent Saturday with her grandmother and went trick-or-treating (I found out earlier this evening that she was so sugar high Saturday night that she was allowed to stay up until 4:30am) and then tonight we all went to our church for the annual Trunk or Treat.  She's now crashed out on her bed sideways with all her clothes on.  :-)  My son, well, he doesn't get much sugar, and after one piece from dear grampoo and papa, he was bouncing all over the car within 10 min.  He and my hubby are crashed out on the couch drooling.

So is there such a thing as too much Halloween?

My First Rant in Cyberspace.

Well if you're looking at your screen wondering how you got here instead of a sewing blog really showing you how to thread a needle then let me explain my little inside joke.

If you really think about it, and believe me I do, life is like trying to thread a needle.  You have the sturdy, hard core needle always knowing exactly which way it's pointing. Then you have the thread which is always flopping around every which way, never cooperating with you. Somehow you have to get these two very different items to become one and then will it assist you in creating whatever it is your heart can dream up.

Life is very much the same. People, whether it's coworkers, family, friends, whatever, will be at odds with you. So at some point you have to cooperate with the other person and get the job done.

This is my little rantings and stories of everyday life as a nurse/mother/wife/daughter/sister of some very goofy characters that I hope entertains and will create discussions that will not only give inspirations to us all but make us able to laugh at this ride called life.  Remember, it's not the amount of breaths you take in a lifetime, it's the amount of moments that take your breath away.
