And not the good kind!! The exhausting, lasted forever and had to work all weekend kind!
Friday was very long but SO much fun. The kids and I had to get up very early and get to the eye doctor's for our appointment. Punkin has to get glasses. I was going to keep the kids home anyways, so we headed up to the mall to pick out frames. I was a little upset though, because I had gotten the kids some Hallowe'en specific shirts to wear to school. Oh well. Punkin picked out two sets of frames (two-for-one) and I got frames and contacts. We pick them up next Friday. I picked up a black shirt to wear to work so I could wear my wings and my halo from my Fallen Angel costume. The wings kept getting in the way but I only worked for four hours, so I put up with it.
I walked to Tine's house right after work and she was getting ready. I changed and we headed out to the Hallowe'en party and had SO MUCH FUN! I drank too much, as usual. By the time I get into full-swing havin-a-good-time mode it's usually time to pack up. Although, two smirnoffs and two shots of rum/tequila (I think?) and I was done-for. I got home around 12:30am and went straight to bed. At 4am I had to get up because it was raining and coming through the ceiling and I nearly fell on my ass cause I was still drunk. At 6am I had to get up for work. o.O
I spent most of the day at work trying not to puke. At one point my boss asked me if I'd eaten anything because I was looking pretty green. He made me eat a plain (untoasted) whole wheat bun. Ick. It helped though. I made sure I was drinking water and kept swaying between trying not to throw up and being absolutely ravenous. By the end of the day I was feeling okay. I was able to get steak and peppers and cook supper and had a full meal. I was so tired, but kept soldiering on. We got the kids ready for trick-or-treating. Hubs used the fake 'skin' in the makeup kit to create a bullet-hole in Punkin's forehead and we both worked on her makeup. Pasty face, black in the hollows of her cheeks, black eyes... I pinned her hair up to keep most of it from getting stuck to her face and put lipstick on her. We dripped fake blood in the bullet-hole and from the corner of her nose. Dooger was such a trooper in his Grim Reaper costume waiting for us to get Punkin ready. We lasted over an hour going door-to-door and the kids got a decent haul. It was really cold, extremely windy and by the time we got out there it was already dark. There weren't very many houses participating (part of that could have also been the time), so we did pretty darn good. We sorted the candy, the kids got some and then we headed to bed.
We had to turn the clocks back and I like doing that before bed so that I get an extra hour of sleep! It was so blissful. I slept like a rock. I had to get up at 5am and work Sunday 6-3. I was SOOO tired. I put my name on the list to go home early, but there was little chance since it was SO BUSY. We had a skeleton crew scheduled, and it was back-to-back busy until 2pm. It really was ridiculous for a Sunday. It made the day go by so quickly, but it was EXHAUSTING. I craved a nap when I got home, but again stuck it out and played some WoW, then made supper and went to bed at a decent time. Slept like a rock, again. Hubs said I was snoring pretty bad (how attractive!).
Two weeks until the Slayer/Megadeth show!! SO EXCITED!
