But how do I tell her that I don't want to spend five extra days with them? I want time for me.
I have told my mother that I "didn't have enough vacation," was "meeting a big deadline" or "had a project that had to be finished before the end of the year" in late December for roughly 25 years. After about four days at home, the twitching sets in.
{{{Suzi}}} and ~ma to your mom and Cody.
I learned today that I have very special calves that don't like knee-high boots. It was very sad until I found these: [link] They're all stretchy goodness! And now my Halloween costume is complete.
The dog - sprained his toe. He is also on pain meds. I think that is what made him puke.
I want to dress for Halloween, but no inspiration on a costume. I have a cool red and black cape. I love my tiara. Vampire princess?
Oh my lord, Suz. I know I shouldn't be laughing so hard. Poor wee beastie.
Oh, poor baby!
Also, Vampire Princess sounds perfect.

P-C, embrace the white lie. Say, "It's really not possible. I'm so sorry." And leave off the part that it is not possible because you need to keep your sanity.
Oh, poor puppy toe! I hope the pain meds don't mess with his tummy any further either cause poor you, SuziQ...
P-C, what sj said.
Sleep now. Me. Please.
This.
Also, Suzi - Wet'n'Wild has some fun temporary tattoos out now - you could totally find some cheapy Vampire Princess accessories. I found mine at Walgreens. Good times.
I think (if I dress up) I'll go as Kiss Of The Spider Woman. I've got web tights, a web cape, many spider rings, and the temp tattoos. Also, makeup.
I'm getting the stuff to make mine and Em's costumes this weekend. I think the tutu's are gonna be red, blue, and black. I need to find wings, too.
I wish we had a party to go to. *pout*
