Am I making a mistake?? :/

Every year the Louisville Zoo holds "the world's largest halloween party" and if you've ever been, it's pretty much complete chaos. You can hardly walk 2 feet without getting run over by a stroller, or without running someone else over with your stroller. It's crowded, and you're almost guaranteed to step in bubblegum, get sticky candy on you, get something spilled or spit up on you, or perhaps your luck might have it that a bird poops on your head, or you step in some other type of animal poop.
We've braving the crowd and taking Peyton for her first "trick or treat" experience tonight! My sisters and their babies are going too. So this could either turn out to be great, or it could turn out to be hectic and stressful. Either way, it'll be an experience not to forget! I'm running on about 5 hours of sleep, which is not NEAR enough for me. So I'm trying to drink as much coffee and sweet tea that I can in order to prepare myself for the big event tonight...and it's not really helping with anything other than making me pee every 10 minutes and making me feel shaky.
Anywho...I was going to work out and complete my day 4 of the 30 day shred...but I have Gracie today and given my current state, it's probably not wise for me to work out today!

On a totally different note: I went grocery shopping (admittedly I haven't been in more than 2 weeks) and only managed to spend $140! Before my coupons I was almost at $200. So I'm slowly getting back into the coupon swing of things! Took me a while, but yesterday I went through my coupon book and organized it, threw away all the expired ones and cut out new ones. The way I have organized my tiny book has helped me tremendously! (Broken down by breakfast foods, frozen foods, refrigerated foods, canned foods, bath items, etc.) I also checked out the latest Kroger ad and matched up some of my coupons ahead of time to some items that were on sale already! I love having plug ins, refills and air/fabric fresheners on hand that smell great. Air wick and glade items are on sale at Kroger...combine them with coupons and you get a steal!
For example, I got a free air wick warmer unit (plug in), a double refill pack of air wick scented oil for $2.49, purchased 2 Glade room sprays (fall scent) for $1.24 a piece, pop tarts for $1.56 a box (for 3), box of snuggle sheets for $2.59, their frozen chicken breasts were on sale, as well has a huge rump roast...so all in all I was pretty pleased with all of my purchases. I didn't have coupons for nearly everything I needed, but I'm stocking up and I have a good feeling about my next trip. :)
