Have A Grown Up Halloween - Giveaway (10/14)

Tweet

October is upon us, and one of my favorite holidays is nearing. Halloween!!! As mom’s we’re mostly busy with our kids and figuring out their costumes, buying up the candy we’re going to hand out, or getting ready for trick or treating with the kids, but what about us adults? Can’t we have fun on Halloween too?

How about this year, making some time for ourselves with ways we can have a “Howling” Halloween!

- After the candy is counted and put away make sure to leave time for a little Trick or Treat for the adults
- Surprise your partner with some sexy Halloween costumes.
- Have a Halloween Scavenger Hunt, Grown Up Style.
- Let your partner pick your costume and vice versa. Find out what you learn about each others fantasies.
- Rent horror movies and spend the night curled up tightly together.
- Make your own "grown-up" Halloween candy like chocolate covered strawberries, homemade taffy, anything with whipped cream and then help each other taste your sweet creations.
- Grab the camera and make your own B rated horror film.

Finding the best deals online....

Tweet

With the holiday season approaching, shopping online is something a lot of us tend to do almost daily. Trying to find the best deals, best prices and best items may not be an easy task.

I know that I tend to use a lot of promo codes and coupons and do a lot of searching online for the best prices, but not everyone has the time or internet savvy to do that, so finding a place online where you can shop for the best fashions, deals, holidays, gifts and more, a place with over 800 merchants where you can find the best deals and discounts are ideal.

Having a one stop shop where you can get the best deals and make online shopping a little easier for those who don’t have the time to scour the net for things is the best option for a lot of online shoppers, do you have a favorite place you go?

Sometimes it comes down to meds....

Where have I been? I’ve slacked not only here but on my other blog as well. It’s been a rough couple of weeks around here. I blogged last week about how hubby was away for training for work for a week and how my anxiety was at an all time high, well it didn’t subside once hubby ended up coming home either.

Remember how I said things were driving me so crazy, I wanted to pack up all my camping gear and camping tents and just run away? Well that’s exactly how I felt and that’s when I felt like I was falling off the deep end.

I finally went to my doctors and did something about my anxiety and the depression it was bringing me. I finally did something, finally got on some meds, and am finally starting to feel better.

I’m not 100%, I’m not my complete self again I can’t feel that yet, but the fact that I’m going to talk to someone, the fact that I have some meds that I’m hoping will help have calmed my fears, have made me feel better, have allowed me to get out of bed, get out of the rut or at least start getting out of it and start living a life again.

I’ve suppressed my anxiety for as long as I could by myself, it was time to get help and that I did. I’m not a big fan of meds by any means, but I felt myself it was finally time to do so.

So with that small blurb about where I’ve been, I hope to get back on track with my home, my self, and my blog within the next week or so, actually blogging today is a good start, but I have a ton of stuff to do around my home which has gone through hell and back as well. Bare with me….

What a week....

What a week it’s been. My anxiety as it all time high levels, I’m stressed out, and BLAH!!!

First off, hubby is away for the week, yea yea, most of you would probably be thankful for that right? NOT ME, lol although let’s be honest, he can get on my nerves and I do like breaks, but when he’s away, my anxiety flairs up and I hate being alone! I’m one of those odd people that actually like my hubby being around, and being home and spending time with me… Go figure! I can say, anxiety is really good for appetite suppression though, I haven't had any appetite all week!

We drove him to the airport Monday, and will be picking him up Friday night… I know not a long time, but it feels like weeks to me. There’s no way I could ever be a military wife, I don’t know how you guys do it….

My stress, it comes from my period being a week late….That’s right, we’re careless! We have sex and lots of it, and we don’t use birth control of any kind, no condoms, no nothing… Birth control makes me crazy with mood swings, and condoms…seriously…not that I’d ever tell my girls this because condoms ARE important (when you're NOT married) but come on, what a way to ruin the mood and the sex at the same time, ugh… HATE THEM!!

We don’t want any more kids, no way, no how… The thought of having any more ‘diva’s’ in this house is enough for my husband to want to have a vasectomy, however he still hasn’t found the time to go and do it….

Yes, my period has been in limbo for a week… Last week my husband said I was acting ‘weird’, emotional, moody and just odd… He asked me a question, a question I didn’t want to hear, a question that made me want to grab my camping gear and camping tents and run far, far away. The dreaded question was, “you’re not pregnant are you?” OMG! PLEASE LORD NO!!! He said the last time I acted like this was when I was pregnant… And ever since that dreaded question, I’ve been in fear….

A week late… A husband out of town for this week, do I test? Do I not test? Do I really want to see a + sign on a stick and be alone knowing that I’m going to freak the hell out??? I think NOT! So I wait… Hoping, and praying and CURSING my husband, because you do know that if it’s positive and I am pregnant it’s now all HIS fault for asking that stupid question!

Two nights ago I was on the phone with hubby saying our ‘good nights’ when I screamed out THANK THE LORD! OH MY GOD! THANK GOD!

Hubby was like what’s wrong? What’s going on? My only question was what the hell do you think I would be saying all that for? His response “I don’t know!”. I’m sure you all could guess.. MY PERIOD SHOWED UP!!!! A week late, but it finally came!!! YAY!!!! My husband just cracked up, saying check you out getting all religious now and stuff lol… My only response was SHUT IT!

So my stress is somewhat down now, but man I hate these scares, someone needs to go get snipped and QUICK!

Summer feels like it flew by. We had a lot of fun this summer as a family; we took a family trip with my parents for two weeks out to New Brunswick Canada and Cape Cod MA. It was a blast!!!

As soon as we got back though it was time for work, time to get things for back to school and have a change in our daily routine, again.

I don’t know what it is about this year, but it seems to be flying by so fast! At least for me, some weeks tend to crawl, but lately it seems that they’re whizzing by at lightning speed. I’ve already bought the girls their Halloween costumes, we’re already thinking about my daughters 7th birthday, planning Thanksgiving, and I’m already starting to stock away things for Christmas.

Before you know it, believe me Christmas will be here, and it seems like almost every year we start earlier and earlier in the retail stores and I believe it. But we’re probably partially to blame, I mean look at me, I’m already preparing and shopping and stocking away for Christmas gifts so I’m not so rushed when the time actually gets here.

From clothing to kids furniture, some educational toys and even books, I’ve got a ton stocked away all ready and every year I say the same thing, they’re not going to get as much as they did last year… Who am I kidding!?!?!

This year for Christmas though I’m lucky enough to have partnered up with Constructive Playthings as a Constructive Mom and lucky for my readers you can get some great toys from them and get 15% off your order!!!!

Just head over to my other blog, A Wrestling Addicted Mommy and click on the Constructive Playthings button under my Sponsors section on my right side bar, a coupon code will be automatically applied to your order, once you’re ready to check out, BOOM 15% off!

It’s a great deal!!!

I woke up and it's a start to a brand new GOOD day!

Tweet

YAY for a new day!!

My allergies aren’t bothering me too much this morning, which is great. It’s freaking COLD here in Ohio though; it’s almost noon and its 64 degrees. Not that I’m going to complain at all, it’s a nice break from the heat, but I’m COLD! Windows are all open; I’ve got on a sweatshirt and wrapped up in a blanket, hoping that this day continues to go well.

So yesterday I let you all in on the fact that I got a job! Its part time and pay will be about $8/hr. Luckily I won’t need to rush out and get a new wardrobe, or id badge printer or even any HID proximity cards, because I get to do it from home, which is GREAT!!! It’s not anything luxurious, but hey, extra cash is extra cash. I’ll be doing some light office work from home for a fellow blogger, a local blogger that writes Saving Money In Toledo. I’m glad to help her out, but to get paid for it at the same time is even better! Especially since Christmas is coming around the corner, I can use all the extra cash I can get, these girls get spoiled off their asses come Christmas time….

So I’m scrounging for content today to write over here, I had a great post thought out last night about couples and finding the time to actually ‘do it’, but it’s gone, lost into space with who knows what else I had in that brain of mine, that only wants to work apparently at night when I’m in bed…

So what’s up with my readers? Anyone have anything they’d like to blurt out there, a topic I can write about and get interesting with? Let me know, I’m open to hearing any and all suggestions you have from me!!!

I am slowly going crazy....

Ahhh life…

It has it’s ups and downs… And lately it seems like it’s been more down than up.
Don’t get me wrong, I love my life, I’m happy with a lot of things, but why is it that everything wrong seems to all happen at once?

Not only that, but my kids are driving me absolutely BATTY! If my oldest isn’t throwing a hissy fit for one reason or another, my youngest is crying about something. They don't want to listen, they repeat themselves 9458430963 times... I AM ANNOYED!!! I have a headache today, my allergies are killing me, and I just want to get away!

I’d love to sail away on one of those Royal Caribbean cruises, but alas we’re BROKE as usual…. Would be nice to get away with hubby since it never seems to happen, nor does it seem it ever will…

A girl can dream….

On a good note, I got a part time job today working from home, so YAY! Hopefully that’s the start of GOOD things to come.

And that's my venting/ranting for today, I thought it would help, but really.... It didn't...

Upcoming things and a note...

So, I’ve got a few things up my sleeve for this blog. First of all, just a reminder that it’s going to be a little more on the ‘risqué’ side sometimes, not to say that it always will be, but I don’t want those of your subscribed to have surprises in your in-boxes on some days.

I’ve got some great reviews and giveaways coming up for a few adult products, one is a toy and the other is a sexy adult Halloween costume! I may even have a few books to review and giveaway in the works as well.

Also, don’t forget to check out my other blog A Wrestling Addicted Mommy for some great Back To School Giveaways!
