What would Halloween weekend be without a ghostly post from me - eh? That spirit has fucked up. I am now announcing a full out war.

You see, from time to time, when it's not making me uncomfortable, or letting me see it's shadow, things... disappear. One time, I was looking for the baby monitor. It wasn't on the cabinet where I'd left it. I looked there. I did! Then I enlisted the help of my husband. First place he looked: The cabinet. It wasn't there. So we looked & looked & looked. Finally - I looked at the cabinet again where it's supposed to be, and surprise! There it is! So things disappear, then magically show back up.

But now - he's (or she) has done it. My coffee is missing.

This is unfair battle tactics. You don't take a person's coffee. I don't care if you are living or dead - you just don't do that.

We bought a full thing of coffee at the store yesterday. I remember putting it away. Why? Cause it caused a 'tiff'. I tried to put it in the pantry with the "C" foods (for coffee), and my husband insisted it go under "F" for Folgers. (sidenote - this is HIS compulsion, not mine, I just pick my battles). I argued with him and said people don't ask for a cup of Folger's in the morning, they ask for a cup of coffee. So - ultimately, I won of course. He put it with the C foods. When the coffee turned up missing, I thought he was trying to be a turd and checked the F's, and it's not there. We looked all over the fricking house today, and it's nowhere to be found. This entity has screwed up. It has absconded with my coffee and I can not allow that! It should have had the decency to at least return it by now! And I know it was the ghost because he/she/it was here earlier today. That's another thing that ticks me off. It messed with Ethan! Poor baby. He's not feeling well, and he came screaming out of his room and told me he doesn't like the angry man. I asked him what angry man? And he said the angry man in his room. My oldest, Ashton - just nodded knowingly. "Oh, him. He won't hurt you Ethan. He just looks at you." WTF?? "You've been seeing something??!" I asked her. She said she had, but not for a very long time. She didn't seem too weirded out by it. She says she used to see him all the time. So I guess she thought it was normal.

What really chaps my ass is now I have to make a special nighttime trip to WalMart to get more coffee. I've got a raging headache (from caffeine withdrawals) and I know I'm going to be the puke catcher again tonight.

Man I'd kill for a big cup of coffee right now.
