Soooo blah....

This has been a difficult week around here, as both Ed and I are suffering from the BLAHS! We are tired, sick of working so hard, can't keep up, and so on, and so on. It must be the time of year, with the onset of winter, the end of summer. Usually, one of us gets the blahs, but the other one will help turn that around. It is no fun when both of us are miserable!

The kids are doing well. They are very excited for halloween, and Cameron has been crossing days off of his calendar and counting down the days for the past week or so. I will post pictures of the kids in their costumes. They look so cute.

Last night, Alex had a Boy Scout Halloween party, and wore his Captain Rex costume. Captain Rex is a clone trooper commander in the Star Wars: Clone Wars movie. And, Alex's nickname is Rex, so it was a perfect fit. He has been soooo proud of his costume, and thinks he is the stuff with that costume. They were judging costumes at the party, and Alex was sure that he would win because his costume was so great. Well, I knew he wouldn't win, since there were three or four other boys with the same costume. When they announced the winners, he was so dissapointed, and was almost crying. It was one of those moments when you want to just pick him up, hug him, feed him, and make him happy. I felt so bad for him, yet I know disappointment is a part of life and he needs to learn how to deal with it. Poor guy, though, I know exactly how that feels to be so excited for something, and to feel so sure you are going to win, only to be let down.

I think I am going to get some sleep and sleep off this funk. I usually get the blahs on Wednesdays when I have had a busy week. I'll be back to myself by Friday!!
