Usually this is my favorite time of year. The leaves start to change colors, which I love to watch, pumpkins flood the grocers which I also enjoy. Plus it means Halloween is coming, and I spend hours planning out exactly how I'm going to make my kids costumes. I watch Nightmare Before Christmas and make pumpkin cake, and apple cider... I usually LOVE October. But this year something in my brain has gone haywire! I can't stop thinking about snow, and handmade gifts. Not to mention how excited I am to cut down a Christmas tree, and wrap gifts. I'm looking forward to Christmas music (which secretly I have already listened to this month..I know, despicable) in the car. So what is wrong with me. Well the last two weeks I have made it a priority to do things one can only do in the fall. I've brewed apple cider, I've made the pumpkin cake, Holly and I even listened to Halloween music today, but all I really wanted to do was search the internet for gift ideas and decorating tips. I really think I'm going crazy. So as a last ditch effort I am blogging about it all in hopes that once it is all out of my head it will be all out of my system. And just as an FYI I really wanted to attach a Christmas picture to this blog, but I am forcing myself to use a Halloween one instead!

LOL--too funny! I'm the opposite, I feel like it should still be the 4th of July--especially now since we are living in what feels like eternal summer (it was 88 degrees today!) I need to catch up with the times though--I need to make another stocking this year!
Haha. Love the post. Isn't it funny how our bodies play tricks on us sometimes and just don't go with the normal flow of all the years prior? Ugh, it can be frustrating!
Here's to a Happy Halloween and a very Merry Christmas. :)
Hang in there Merilee. It won't be too long before Christmas is here and you are trying to motivate yourself to decorate your tree. Ours almost didn't get decorated last year. Nine months pregnant on a step ladder turned out to be a bad idea. Thank goodness Robbie was there to save Christmas by finishing the tree for me while I rested my sore keester. Really do stay off the step ladder this year!
