Last night I made Halloween cupcakes with DD but I am a control freak with cupcake decorating so I just let her pick out the colors and the pieces and then put them together.

Honestly, she wanted to put the eyes on the BACK of the cupcake monster. *shakes head*

That said - she still seemed to have a super fun time sooooo...I don't feel too badly for being a crazy head. And next year she will probably be much more coordinated and able to keep her fingers out of the icing when applying candy eyeballs lol

When I got Halloween candy, I also got a bag of Reeses for me. I lost the bag. So I ate all the Reeses out of to candy to pass out.

When I "check" my kid's candy at the end of the night I take out all the recce cups.... for myself.

@mamahawk12 - no, but I'm an SLP and have a couple on my caseload

I hate when family members with kids (like my sister) think it is acceptable to try to get me to take care of their kids because I am pregnant with my first and "need to practice."

At our family Halloween party my younger sister sat outside and anytime anyone told her one of her three children needed something, she told them to tell me because I needed the practice. Yes, because taking care of a 3 yr old, 1.5 yr old and a 3month is really going to prepare me for a newborn.

I started to doze off on the couch last night, so DH kindly walked the dog. Almost as soon as he left I just started watching TV instead.

SO LAZY.

Oh that's right! I knew you had commented.... (yes, I'm too lazy to go back and dig right now...). We have a special place in our heart for our SLP. He goes more for expressive speech delay (unrelated to cleft) but she's pretty much resolved any of his cleft related issues (nasal snort, etc.)

I hate Johnson and Johnson commercials. They make me cry every damn time. "you're doin okay mom"... okay let me go roll up in a ball and weep the rest of the day... thanks...

finchfeeder80 · October 2014

My local news channel ran a story on the news this morning about how the Cedars Sinai NICU dresses all those little teeny premie babies up in costumes for their parents on Halloween. I cried.

I'll read the others here in a sec, but I have to put this here before pregnancy brain kicks in and I forget:

I think we should let the eager-beavers go ahead and start their stupid FB group.

Trampslikeus · October 2014

This commercial. Every damn time it played. Tears.

I have been not so patiently waiting for an Amazon (prime) package to arrive for a few days. Today I got online to track it and see where it was. I logged into my account and clicked on my orders and it wasn't there. Confused, I clicked on my cart and saw that I never actually "confirmed" the purchase last time - that damn final step. I was on the last flippin' screen and never finished! And now the prices on 2 of the deal items I had have gone back up.

Damn you pregnancy/mommy brain!!!

brody624 · October 2014

DH and I are planning a date night for tonight... Halloween. So we don't have to be home while people ring our doorbell and our 3 fur babies go insane barking all night... I felt a little bad, but now I think it's a great idea

mamahawk12 · October 2014

@NoeliaV - I totally agree! Who wants to be in a facebook group with a bunch of strangers?

dkleid · October 2014

My husband posted a picture of me and the dog both passed out Tuesday night. Me on the couch dog on the floor. My fil commented "who wore the dog out, I won't ask about D." Really??? You know to not make any comments about me being pregnant wtf would you post that!!!!

beersandweirs · October 2014

One of my friends is also pregnant with her second (this is my first) and due about two weeks before me. I am secretly a little worried and jealous about people comparing us and our babies. She is super crafty and creative, and I am...not. I feel like people will think her baby is better and like it more. I KNOW it is a really stupid thing to think, but it still nags at me.

neongreen · October 2014

Today's incredibly timely and relevant confession: I give precisely zero fucks about Halloween this year. This is Baby #1, so no other kids to dress up and run around with. I'm working from home today, so no need for a costume (I probably won't even bust out my Halloween t-shirt). I know the doorbell is going to be constantly interrupting work/dinner, so I usually make DH deal with that anyway.

Whatever the Halloween version of Scrooge is, that's me. And I'm not sorry.

So my sister already has 2 little girls, and she is super crafty and makes them the cutest halloween costumes, hairbows, outfits, etc. and I am so not like that. She is also an absolutely amazing mom. So patient, she handles stress well, and she is just your all around supermom.. I think we will be compared a lot. Especially since I've always wanted kids, and she swore she would never have kids.

I understand the worries about comparisons, but I gotta say, I think most mommas will just be like, "Damn, I would never have time to throw that freaking Pinterest-perfect birthday party. I'm lucky if my kid is wearing clean pants to daycare." And while they might admire the crafty-patient-perfect mommas, they will not give two hairy fucks that your kid is wearing nothing but a tutu and rain boots while eating off-brand Oreos instead of organic-homemade-whatevers while your friend's kid or sister's kid is looking photoshoot ready every day.

I think most parents really do know the score. It's hard. Keep 'em cared for and loved and you're doing a good job.

I confess that I spent the past week judging DH's best friend's parenting skills after we spent last weekend at their house. I know I shouldn't judge, but it was painful.

ohiodoxiemama08 · October 2014

So my confession is I'm over 6 weeks but I felt the urge to POAS yesterday. I have a bunch of wondfos left and not tons of symptoms and I'm paranoid. Good news is that usually they take forever to show up and it was nice and dark and showed up right away. That was reassuring but at the same time I felt like a crazy lady.

beattykid · October 2014

My favorite thing to do on Halloween is to hand out candy to the little kids. I give it to the big kids too, costume or not. I just love that everyone is a kid for a minute or at least re-living their childhood a bit. Well I haven't gotten to do this for the past three years because we had to go to my husband's brother's house to have some bullshit little Halloween get-together because they didn't want their precious daughter out trick or treating. She is the first grandchild in my husband's family and the attention everyone gives her drives me crazy. I mean, she's a nice kid, whatever. She reminds me too much of her mother and I can't stand her mother. We don't have a relationship with my husband's brother or sister in law unless there is an occasion for gift giving and then we are ALWAYS invited. Well, I told my husband that this year I'm not going. I'm sitting at home and giving out candy. If they want me to give their little girl anything for Halloween she can come up to my door and say trick or treat. DH is staying home with me too and it feels damn good to not let every freaking holiday revolve around the child of someone who can't stand us.

This is my first ever "board" and I'm not usually much of an internet user, so I'm not up with the lingo...when I read the first "October siggy challenge" thread I though it was for pregnant mums trying to give up smoking... Whoops!

mrscampos4life · October 2014

I judge people, how they raise their kids and their teaction to situations and how they handle them. I judge my own family members.

Meh, I don't care if people like or not.

RayWil528 · October 2014

There is a fall festival petting zoo for preschoolers outside my window today, and I basically have done zero work because of it. I feel no guilt about this.

I also had two pieces of frozen cookie dough at lunch. Raw eggs and all. The horror!

tahitiandreamin · October 2014

I'm too lazy to really care about Halloween this year. DD's costume is just something that we already had in the house. I couldn't even be bothered to get pumpkins to carve so we have 0 decorations. We'll hand out candy and that's it. I'll drag my butt off the couch to take DD to a few houses for trick or treating because she really wants to based on what she's seen on TV. But if I'm honest... it's cold outside and I'm already freezing because of these pregnancy hormones... not too thrilled about the prospect of taking DD out.
