It's 9 days before Halloween and my house has yet to be decorated for the holiday. Is my husband finally wearing off on me? Did I somehow trade my excitement for everything holiday for this? I have a whole tote full of fun halloween decorations. And usually October 1st my house explodes with halloween. But not this year, nothing, nada halloween is out of it's box.
Is it bad that I feel sorry for my halloween decorations? I feel guility not putting them up. Not getting them out of their box were they have been jammed into for the past 365 + days. So even though my poor decorations will only be out of their box for little over a week I think I'm going to have to decorate my house.
My next delema is do I stay home on Halloween to give out candy to the neighbor kids or go to our church Trunk or Treat? Normally they have Trunk or Treating on the Saturday prior to Halloween, but not this year.
The advantages of going to Trunk or Treating is:
- I get to see all the kids I know dressed up
- I get to hang out with my friends
- Free dinner
- there will be a magician afterwards
The disadvatages of Trunk or Treating are:
- We don't have kids
- I have to sit outside in the cold giving away candy to 400+ kids
- The Magician will probably suck - really Magician in Utah...
- My costume is a little on the skimpy and uncomfortable side, do dress up and feel like I'm being judged or not dress up and feel like I'm not in the halloween spirit?
And finally in the non-halloween theme: the husband and I are starting Chlomid again this month. And I just figured out that the husband will probably be out of town while I'm ovulating. Yeah that sucks. We need extra prayers that this will work, I'm not sure If I can handle another misscarriage. So everyone think baby thoughts for the husband and I the next couple of weeks.

I think with what you have been going through, it is very normal to not feel so festive.
Here is something that I did after I lost my son and had a miscarraige (Both were before MY holiday...Christmas)
Go put up three decorations. Pick your favorite things. See if it makes you feel better and if you want to keep going. If you do...GREAT!!!!
If you dont, you will still have those three things up and won't feel so much guilt about how you "Should" be feeling.
I hate feeling judged, but as I live here I can see the delimma. The key winner for me in both those lists???
GO WHERE YOUR FRIENDS ARE.
Hug.
Keep the decorations in the box, you'll just have to take them down in a week or so! Maybe i'm just lazy.
I go through decorating phases. I say do it when you feel like it, otherwise it takes the fun out of the whole thing.
I'll think positive pregnancy thoughts!!
C'mon! Halloween is your favorite!! Our halloween party (for just the grownups) got cancelled because of sick kids. what the hell kind of halloween curse is that?!! so think of me, sitting at home, in my unhalloween costume with my unhalloween candy and treats, not playing "grown up" games with my friends.
Happy friggin' Halloween.
So? What did you decide to do??
I'm just talking to myself because I miss seeing you around n' stuff.
:D :D :D :D :D
I have had the smae problem this year. Last year I went all out and decorated everything. This year, not one decoration has made it. We barely arved pumpkins in time. I don't know what is my problem this year. My husband actually started asking about decorating...but I have no interest. Which is strange because I LOVE Halloween it is my favorite holiday especially since it is my birthday too. I need to get out of this funk.
I will be thinking of you and sending good baby thoughts your way.
