Happy Halloween

Well, the kids are done trick or treating, and with Halloween comes the official start of the Holiday season. I can not believe that is officially Nov. in 2 hours time. Where does the time go? To fast I tell you. I keep forgetting that my age is catching up with me. You know you are getting old when the people you work with point out that your hair is looking a little grey, and it might be time for a dye job! Ouch. Wasn't it just a few years earlier that I was the one going trick or treating? I can remember the costumes that I even wore. Come on, you can too. Who can forget those plastic masks that had slits for the eyes, nose and mouth. You know the ones we wore on our heads and pulled down when we got to the door. The same ones that created all that condensation on the inside from our breathing. Costumes are not what they use to be! Oldest was Mother Nature. She wore one of my two look a like bridesmaid dress, put flowers in her hair and around her waist. She was so pretty. Daughter number 2 was a Devil Woman. Very appropriate for this spirited little girl! Unbelievably, it is the only time she lets me fix her hair! Monster boy was a pirate. RRRRgh I tell you. Give me candy, or I'll hit you with my sword. (OK, not really, but he does have sword, and it makes really cool noises, so he might noise you to death with his sword!). Now I have to figure out what to do with all the candy. If it does not disappear soon, it will find its way to my hips. And trust me, they don't need to go there. Think the kids will notice if I start "trashing" it piece by piece. I know, bad mommy, but what else do you do if you are the one w. no will power for chocolate. Come on- what female can resist that sweet stuff? Happy Halloween to you. I hope you get more treats than tricks.
