Surviving the Domestic Jungle

Halloween is a fun holiday and I am looking forward to taking the kids trick or treating tonight! I prefer the more innocent part of Halloween like fairies and princesses and prefer to leave the scary stuff to someone else. A bazillion years ago when I was a teenager I went to the Halloween celebration downtown and was scared to death. Everyone knows the mask from the Scream movies and someone was wearing one who was walking right behind me. I freaked out! In my mind, it was the real killer armed with a knife and about to kill the stupid high school girl walking in front of him…..I have not been to a downtown celebration of Halloween since and have zero plans to go! I will be hanging with my kids at my brothers house! Apparently their street does a whole big thing for all of the kids and they invited us to partake which is kind of cool because their neighborhood is better set up for trick or treating! Also it will be nice to have someone to take the kids trick or treating with because my husband and my brother both have to work a little late tonight. Unfortunately we will look like jackasses who hate children because our house will be dark with no one handing out candy but oh well, we usually are. Not because we are Grinch’s but because we usually go to friends or families houses to go trick or treating. Stay safe, have fun and overindulge in sugar!
