One Foot on a Banana Peel

Blinkie by LilMsGlitter

There is so much I could should be doing today.  I have tons of things to price for my open house, posters need made, prize baskets need put together, the sink is full of dirty dishes, the dishwasher is full of clean ones, everything is suddenly dusty and as always there is a mountain of laundry.  I just don’t feel like doing much of anything.  I think inspite of all my precautions I might be coming down with a cold.  Poo.

Tonight is the official trick-or-treat night in our area.  Odd for us, because most years it’s always on the Saturday afternoon closest to Halloween.  Nice to see them letting the kids have the fun of going around in the dark.  I always thought it lost something in the daylight and let’s face it, the boogie men who put bad things in little kids’ candy still do it in the daylight.  It’s not like they are standing out there on the street corner shoving razor blades into candy bars and need the cover of night to hide them.  And as for keeping kids off the streets and vandalism down…..yeah, right!  Kids are kids and if that’s what they’re going to do they will just go out at night anyway.

Tim and I aren’t doing anything for Halloween.  Megan is going out trick-or-treating with her friends.  Yes, she is in 9th grade and yes, I think that’s too old, but I’m a big meanie if I don’t let her go because somehow or another it got to be okay in this area for sr. high age kids to trick-or-treat.  We’ve laid down the law, though, that this will be her last year no matter how much whining goes on.
