Calgone!
How exhausting is Halloween?
I took my four kids out for trick or treating along with their friend in my lovely Dodge Stratus. I’m amazed that they were all able to squeeze in there…treats…costumes…snowy feet and all!
Where we live we have to drive to trick or treat. We started five miles out of town and made our way back, stopping at the houses where there were porch lights on (there were very few of these). We then went in to town and were able to hit about one house per block. The folks in this town come here to hide, not to give out candy, apparently!
The kids didn’t care. They were joyous that they got to be out running around in the snow after dark. They had a heck of a time and made a pretty good haul considering how few people were actually doing the treat thing.
Now everyone is tucked in and Mom is exhausted. How would it be to have been able to send the kids out with a boyfriend and his kids and just sit home handing out candy? Not that anyone could find my house in these woods, but still, you get my point. OR How would it have been to have a boyfriend along for the ride helping me get the kids, costumes and bags out of and back in to the car?
How would it be to have a boyfriend here now that all is quiet so we could rub each other’s shoulders and wind down from this long and stressful day?
I have to say that on a cold winter’s night like this one, it sounds pretty darned nice!
*Note: I’m not often such a sap, so drink it up while you can!
