trick or treat = mommy's fever!
Yes it has happened.... AGAIN... Mommy is home sick! After the weekend in Disneyland, non-stop party planning, 2 hour commutes home every night, the party, practice, and night of trick-or-treating... whewwww?!
Halloween was fun. Unfortunately AJ's pre-school did not permit the kids to dress up and parade around campus like in the past (many of co-workers were really looking forward to it!) So I had asked to leave an hour earlier so I can get home in time to change the kids and get them out in the neighborhood early.
AJ was a pteradactyl and Mio was a blue parrot ($10 bucks each at Costco!). I found an evil queen costume for $20 at the Halloween store, and Damoomoo was farmer to match his co-workers as pumpkins. Damoomoo already mentioned the hords of candy we DIDN'T give out ( I still insist that I was right!). But I was able to take the boys trick-or-treating the old skool way... door-to-door. We did the mall thing twice... and honestly, that was enough.
It actually can be more hectic and chaotic than in your own neighborhood. At least our neighborhood consists of 1 court and 1 street so it was easy to walk around, and just enough to tire the little one out. Although they didn't wear the hood part of their costumes (still a little too big to fit on their head comfortably) everyone thought they were sooo cute saying trick-or-treat and thank you every single time!
We came home to find dinner ready thanks to farmer 'moomoo. But I wasn't in the mood, I could already feel the "bug" hitting. Sure enough by the next morning... I was feeling the achey body and the fever that was about to break. Unfortunately, it also meant that AJ wouldn't go to school, so he was stuck with me. The next day, not any better, but damoomoo worked the season opener for the Warriors and convinced me that I wouldn't want to get up later to pick up Mio from the sitter... he was right but it was just getting worse.
I finally called my mom to come out and help. Thankfully she did. Today I woke up thinking I could go back to work but as soon as I finished the shower, weakness just took over, and all I wanted was to sleep! Thankfully in-laws took the boys and for the first time I was able to relax. I should be working on my resume and job application due to tomorrow!
