Smoking..well quiting actually

I got Chantix the other day while I was at the doctor.The medicine is sitting there waiting for me to start it which won't be until the 15th of November.I'm working on cutting back right now.Shannon and I sat down and discussed a plan,goals that sorta thing.I'm happy to have his help but I'm struggling with whether or not it's the right time.Shannon's job is in the air and the Holidays are coming up quick so many things actually.Hopefully it will be the right time and it will all go well.The weight gain has got me freaking out a bit.I gained thirty pounds last time I quit ugh!

My first goal was to make two packs last a tad over two days...seems easy enough right?It might have been but I had a horrible night last night and didn't sleep much which meant being up more and smoking more.It's not looking so good right now.I'm just going to be really careful today and try to reach the goal.I'll update tomorrow.It may be a quick update because it's going to be a busy day.My sister is coming up tomorrow with her family and spending the weekend with us.I'm so excited about it! They will be here for our halloween party which will be really cool.Friday night we are going to the haunted corn maze...I'm not all that excited about that lol!The kids will have a blast though I'm sure and that's the most important thing anyway.

The cute thing that happen last night with the kiddos.....K needed to get her costume ready so she was taking a long black robe thingy and sorta chopping it a bit.J being the sweet bubba he is decides to put it on himself and he stood on a stool while she walked around making cuts....and bossing him around of course lol!I snapped a few pics it was too cute to pass up lol!

Sports and more sports!

The football season is winding down.J's season is over,T only has a few more games left.The little ones will be playing basketball.Our kids haven't played basketball in ages so this should be interesting!

J has made a complete turn around this year and I'm so thankful.He's keeping his grades up and working really hard...and staying out of trouble!I was really worried about the little ones being moved up to the big school but so far it's been a good thing.

Things at Shannon's job have been crazy.They say they will be shutting the doors soon.We don't know if he will get a transfer or what.We are keeping our fingers crossed and will deal with whatever comes.I won't say it isn't scary though!

On a different note...my inner spanko has been released....it's weird but fun and I'll leave it at that {wink}

Getting ready for Halloween

We spent the last few days getting the carport ready for the halloween party.The last few years we have had to fight the wind.This year we decided to build a false wall.The wall makes it much better.We had wind,rain and cold weather and it didn't stop us one bit from putting up some of the decorations.

My crew goes crazy over halloween...weirdos lol!Shannon got out all the fog machines and strobe lights and tried it all out.I will admit it was pretty cool! The kids were getting off the bus about the time we had it really going.The bus driver thought our house was on fire lol!The only down side is the two little kids won't go out in the carport alone now lol!I'm sure Shannon will spend every minute of his spare time working on it and coming up with new creepy ideas all the way up to the time for the party.

We decided to do pizza this year again.It was wayyy easier than me making a bunch of stuff.I will be making punch and a couple desserts/snacks.I haven't decided what I'm going to do yet but I want it to go with the theme (chop shop)so it's gotta be good...something with body parts maybe?

Anyway it was nice to spend a couple days together doing something fun!He's back to work now but it all goes well and he gets his three day weekend next week it should be fun.The kids have fall break then which means they will have a four day weekend so it should be some nice family time.I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he will be off!
