Emotionally Insane

I don't know why I watch these videos that get me going! Anger, Self Pitty, Stress, Tears, and Worries comes with watching documentaries about the Autism Spectrum Disorder.

I just got through watching Frontline: The Vaccine War. I really did like the fact that they showed both sides of the so called "war", but I still get emotional and worked up about the subject.

I'm having a super stressful day! Ugh! Cyrus doesn't want to "use her words" to ask for whatever it is that's bothering her. Its really hard to sit here calmly while your child is struggling to express her wants and needs. :( On top of this, I'm in the process of potty training my 2 yr old son- yikes!

I plan on making our Halloween costumes this year and I need to start a few months early since I'm going to create 4 costumes! I've been scanning the web for some ideas, and I have to say there are some awesome costumes out there but I can't seem to think of a good group costume for two adults and two children. :( I came across this site http://www.coolest-homemade-costumes.com/ Has great ideas and pictures of some concept and group costume pics but I really want to do something original.
I know I can make something AWESOME with a great, original, clever idea but all I can think of is Yo Gabba Gabba. I could be dressed as DJ Lance Rock, Rick could be Plex, Cyrus Foofa, and Darius Muno :) -I know Yo Gabba Gabba has been done, that is why I'm asking for some suggestions from my very clever Friends. =)
Any Ideas!?!
... okay I've thought of some other ideas, I'm open to some opinions
  1. Futurama Characters (Dr. Zoidberg, Professor Farnsworth, Turanga Leela, Nibbler)
  2. Wow Wow Wubbzy characters
  3. Various VideoGame characters (AngryBirds, Sonic, Sackboy, DoodleJump)
  4. Adventure Time characters (Jake, Ice King, Princess Bubblegum, Finn)

Power Up:

Victory! I have completed the whole setup portion of my first blog. Yes, I'm a new blogger and would like to say thanks to anyone who is reading this and isn't posting comments about how terribly executed this blog is.

I'm going to leave my first offical post for tomorrow, since I spent practically all day on the computer setting up this site.  I need to care for my neglected children now, actually.... Cyrus was jumping off the bed pretty much all day and Darius(her younger brother of 2yrs) was pretty content with an all day marathon of "Yo Gabba Gabba" thanks to Netflix-My life saver! I did, however, take a few breaks to feed my kids but they didn't seem to have appetites when they saw the spaghetti. Sigh, at least they ate the garlic/parsley breadsticks I baked. My kiddos are pretty much Carbivores.

I will try to organize a schedule tomorrow so I don't neglect them as much and have time to publish another post. Have a good evening "y'all"!
