So Done With Halloween!

I'm kinda done with Halloween. We had a jam packed day today. I was helping do another huge party tonight and was in charge of getting some things set up. I didn't want it to be like last time were I was running around with my head chopped off and my kids were neglected and side-swept, so I made a proposed schedule last night to attempt to do some fun things with the kids and make the party things run smoothly. Here was/is today's schedule (as you can see, I'm supposed to be flopping on the couch right now):

So far things have gone as planned (mostly). However, the slot that says "come home light our jack-o-lantern and wind down together" turned into, "light our jack-o-lantern and then put the kids to bed before I explode while trying to maintain some semblance of patience and love." It was a horrible mom moment, actually. At least I can be happy that tomorrow after I clean up from this event, things will be back to "normal". I really am so done with Halloween.
