Back to normality...

Not that normality is normal in this house but happy is good, fun is good, being able to talk to people without shrinking and cringing and hating myself is great.
Went for coffee today with lovely Donna, we went to a posh coffee shop, and I had hot chocolate, in a tall glass without cream, marshmallows and chocolate flake but with chocolate muffin. Shoot me.
We were having a pleasant and ladylike time when 2 young whippersnapper employees ran hell for leather through our pleasantness, in a most unprofessional manner, not condusive to pretending we were sophisticated and carefree ladies out for coffee.
"Tut tut said Donna , how unprofessional"
" Indeed, said I " except i think I heard one of them yell, 'where's the stopcock?' as she ran past.
" oh. well, maybe that will excuse them then"
Indeed they were looking for the stopcock which they didn't find because the lights went out and water poured through the ceiling.
Typical.
Ate my muffin though, oh yes, in the dark, with water cascading..first things first and all that.

I am going to become a new agey type hippy. I am sick of stupid meds making me more mad and stupid than I already am....I have been thinking about reflexology, aromatherapy and having needles stuck in me, anything has to be better than pumping myself full of things that cause mayhem to my poor and weary body.
I need cures for insomnia, twitchy legs with a mind of their own and anxiety.
Sara, who reads my blog and has 3 of the most divine children alive ( who luckily are truly beautiful because they are really REALLY busy and inquisitive, read her blog and find out how busy!!) well, she emailed me today, right after my decision to be all tree hugging and natural and said that her mum is a holistic therapist...hoorah, send me to her. Hopefully she will come and visit and we can talk about her mum and Acora and children who are too darn clever for their own good ( jack is just 4 and can read like a grown up kid, watch the video of him reading, its amazing) He is so like Seth in so many ways.

I am really keen on the idea of acupuncture, there is a place near by that deals in acupuncture and I shall be looking into it very soon. I wonder if I am lacking something if the idea of having needles stuck in my person is appealing. What the hey......I have to find something, right?

I am trying to come up with an agenda for this party that has become the talk of the town, it is going to be in 3 stages. School friends. Families. Big kids friends ( where I shall be the most terrifying thing in the house if they push their luck!!)

I want, for the little people to have cookie decorating and making witches hands. 4.30-6pm, long enough, send them home full of food and happy memories.

Next, the families, many of whom will include teens, young ones, keen to be scared..so that's where I am kind of stuck. I could do the fear walk, peeled grapes in dish soap ( eyeballs). Cold spaghetti in sauce for brains, that kind of stuff, blindfolded. Max's CDs will be great here as they are so spooky.

Jordan and Sophie's friends, well they wil pretty much care for themselves. As long as there is food they will be happy. Maybe get some freaky scarey DVDs for them to watch.

Food. We have so much stuff that is sweet, cupcakes, chocolate, candy. cookies, all halloweeny of course.
Savoury food, maybe make a huge pan of my home made tomato spaghetti...it's delicious, could have garlic bread. Could make jellies ( jello) and put jelly fangs and snakes in them. Cheesy doritos with dip......green if I can manage it.

No alcohol..maybe Coke and Fanta, black and orange drinks. Give me any ideas you may have..Lacey sent some cool ones, we'll be using some of those for sure.
