I made myself do it. I was freaking me out with all the no pictures. So there you go. A cat. Meow.

I appreciate the well wishes and encouragement in the last post. It is what it is though, so I am trudging through. And doing NaBloPoMo this year! So, get ready for lots of Lou this month. Boring, dismal, depressing, oh my heck would she just shut UP already Lou. Keepin’ it real.

So last night I take the kids trick or treating. Jonas does just fine. Maggie, however, flat out refuses to hold my hand which isn’t a big deal until you pair it with the fact that anytime I was more than two feet away she would whirl around wildly screaming “MOMMY! MOMMY! MOMMY!” Then I would reach out my hand to her (because seriously, I was always close enough that I could have reached out and smacked her upside the head) and she would scream, “NO HAND!” Rinse, lather and repeat that about 200 times and you have the gist of my night.

Oh wait- I got us lost too. Yeah- about three blocks from home I took a wrong turn (not my fault, military housing all looks exactly the same) and we ended up hitting the same street twice ( I knew because it was the same decorations). I literally had to ask for directions to get back to the main road. When I was two blocks from home. This is why directuionally challenged people shouldn’t go out at night alone, and also why all towns should be built on a grid system and there should be no cul-de-sacs and sidewalk shortcuts.

Stay tuned- more coming soon.
