my sister told me tonight that she wanted some funny stories here, no more re-runs and stupid poems. i wasn’t offended, and i thanked her for the feedback.
the boy did not go trick or treating on halloween and i’m struggling with it. he was supposed to go to a party before the treating but wasn’t feeling up to it. he’s had a sleepover the night before but came home very early the next day b/c he wasn’t feeling very well.
he stayed home from school on friday b/c he had a low fever. i had planned to take him in if his fever broke. i had a doctor’s appointment that morning that took way longer than it normally does so i didn’t get back home until like noon.
since we only have one car, husband couldn’t drive the boy in to school. he was ok to go to school, i think it was mainly allergies although he did sound a little like a baby seal when he coughed.
back to halloween night, it was raining and the dad told him that we might have to postpone halloween. i made it clear that i wasn’t giving up yet on the treating (the boy picked out his costume two months ago).
we waited for the rain to stop. a half an hour later i asked him if he wanted to go, we could bring an umbrella.
after the 2nd time, he said he was SURE he didn’t want to go and he was ok with it. i had a hard time believing that so asked him many times after that until he asked to PLEASE SHUT UP ABOUT IT ALREADY!!!!! (he didn’t really say that but he wanted to.)
so there we sat on saturday night, no halloween decorations out. typically i’m quite a fan of the halloween and have spent a small fortune building my collection.
over the past two years my halloween spirit dwindled and i hope to find the magic again. maybe i put it in a box under the house with the decorations.

That boy didn’t tell you he snuck out at midnight and caused major havoc in the area!

I haven’t been getting into the Halloween spirit for awhile now. It has been getting better, and this year we decorated our house more than ever before. But it just isn’t as much fun as it used to be.
Maybe I just need to buy a fog machine, I have always wanted one and they seem spooky.
Next year.

Yay…new stories. Thanks for that. You were obviously more bothered by not going than the boy was. Maybe next year you should simply leave him home and go by yourself. I had a lady that did that this year…she walked up and held out her bag and I guess I looked at her funny cause she told me that her daughter was sick so she was trick or treating for her.
Ookami NEEDS a fog machine. I have one and they are great!
