This year was a blur! I mean it. I love Halloween every year! This was not one of my favs! In fact for the first two weeks of October I think I was on autopilot! I was a zombie! This was my first tax season at a CPA firm and I was asked [and went willingly] to work full-time [for only 2 weeks mind you!]. I can't tell you I am not made to work full-time! 'It is not April? you say' well October 15th is the corporate deadline for extended returns. While I have done my fare share of tax returns at home for friends and family I have never worked as hard as I did for those 2 weeks. Learning new things, working full-time, football, soccer, being a mom, being a wife, being a cook, being a maid, taking a photography class, etc, etc.....I think I was the closest I have ever been to having a nervous breakdown! I swear I don't mean to complain. I have a wonderful family, I have a great opportunity at work, I have a camera I have wanted for years, I have so much! I just had too much at one time! OH MY GOSH! I let my favorite time of year totally fly by. Why? I don't know, I am having (still) the hardest time adjusting to my job and trying to keep all of the family stuff and other favorites of mine going something has to give! I don't know what my problem is!
I tried so hard to get myself ready. I tried to be organized. I tried to keep school work going (which totally flopped! My kids had the lowest grades they have ever had the first term of the year) and I tried to balance a small amount of me time in the middle! TO NO AVAIL! I stunk it up!
Someone please help me! What am I doing wrong? I feel like I am going 900 miles an hour and spinning in circles getting nowhere.
Okay I just realized I titled this post about Halloween and went on about me! [Seriously I think I have ADHD right now!]
I love Gardner Village! This year for witches weekend we got to share it with our newest cousin Eddy! What fun. I love the witches! So did the kids. They hay ride was great, it was chilly (like it was supposed to be) and the kids had a blast!
We did this on October 1st.....before the 'Mommy meltdown started!' I am glad we got to share at least one of my favorite traditions this time of year!

Every mom deserves a meltdown. Glad I'm not the only one! Not to mention that you were obviously ridiculously busy. How did you manage? Whew! Give yourself a pat on the back.
How is the photography class? Sounds fun, fun.
