I haven't really been sure what to write about here since last week. I don't want to go on and on about what's happening with my family because, well, I think it would be pretty boring to read for one thing and I'm not sure I can even express that just yet. I know it will come in time but for now there's just too much we don't know and the emotions are pretty raw.
I sat outside yesterday handing out the Halloween candy. For some reason they always have Trick or Treating on the Sunday before Halloween and it's during the day time which seems to suck the life right out of Halloween. I mean I get it...there are too many weirdo's out there these days but Halloween used to be so much fun partly because you WERE allowed to go out dressed in a costume and run around the neighborhood at night. Still, we had hoards of kiddoes at the house which was pretty amazing considering it was colder than a witch's you know what and there were 25 mile an hour wind gusts. I gave up an hour before the festivities ended. I was just too cold. Today I woke up with a sore throat and ears. Probably just the wind but, eh, it's tea for me all day today.
One thing that always makes me laugh at Halloween is those people who say "Did you see that? Those people brought a baby in a stroller who can't even eat candy yet! That's not right!!" OR they say "Those kids were at least 13!! That's not right!!!" I mean seriously people - you're handing out a Snickers bar the size of a quarter. Does it really matter how old or young the kids are? It's once a year, people. Sheesh!
