Done and Done
Well... with about 19 hours to spare, I am done with the sewing of costumes, buying of accessories and set up for Halloween. Well, not entirely done- as I still have a pumpkin to carve, candy bags to throw together, and little gems to glue onto a Cinderella dress... fuck- I guess I am not done... but the big work is out of the way.
My hands are now in full on rebellion against my Halloween Cause, as my fingers have spent the better part of the last few weeks asleep, and have now started the night time sabotage of sending shooting pains up to my elbow as I sleep. Those are big fun- especially when they wake me up whimpering like a whooped pup. So, I finally broke down and made an appointment to start my third trip through the tricare referral system to get my Carpal Tunnel Syndrome looked at. No big surprises that it would come to this- sewing, gaming, typing and 6 years of color-guard in my past with all the fun-fun ripped tendon injuries that went with it.... I am really hoping for a steroid shot and a pat on the head to send me on my merry crazy ass way. We'll see on Monday... after Halloween, and before I have to start the holiday stressing.
I will be posting costume pics both here and on my sewing site... If I am going to suffer for my work, I might as well show it off like the pompous ass I am.

I can't wait to see the costumes you made. I hope your little ones have a great Halloween.

You are such a good mom, Halloween is one holiday that comes and goes without my notice. I'm gonna be a difficult mother, and my kids are no doubt going to LOVE halloween...
About the Carpal Tunnel...have you ever thought of acupuncture (sp?)...I don't know how readily available that is in Germany...but it worked for me. I have 16 years of drum playing, and other various hobbies...I cringe at the thought of that kind of pain again. Good luck! and...
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
