Happy Halloween

Don't worry, this isn't Johnny's hand. 

But since you wondered, he is feeling no pain these days.  His appointment is on Tuesday and we're hoping for the best.  He says that the tingling in his finger bothers him.  I take that as a good sign, right?

I find that my child suffering proved to be a popular post.  So I suppose whenever I need to energize my blog, I'll just write about one of my kids in pain.  I mean, I have four of them and they're always getting hurt.  I might as well take advantage of the situation since, apparently, you all love blood and gore.  Seriously, I got six new followers since I wrote about my poor baby.  You're all sick!  I mean, I love you, thanks for reading!

Okay, so it's Halloween.  It doesn't feel like it since we had a snow storm on Saturday.  I was depressed the entire day watching the snow fall on the beautiful Autumn leaves.  It just wasn't right.  Seriously, I felt so off that I actually logged onto my Twitter account.  This is what I wrote.

Up to 6" of snow today in Central PA. I'm not prepared for this. I have 1 winter coat and 2 sets of boots for 4 kids. It's not pretty. m.

Karen, from Ow, My Angst replied that for the first time ever, she bought "that stuff Before the first snow of the year".  I replied "Stop bragging".  Honestly, the nerve of her rubbing it in my face that I'm a lousy parent who's not prepared.  At least that's how I took it.  Maybe she was just trying to be nice since hardly anyone ever replies to me on Twitter.  I was depressed and drinking at the time, who knows!  But seriously, go visit her, she's a nut!

I'm much better now though, thanks!  It's very rare that I get into a funk.  So like my other inferior and Liberal emotions, I bury them deep inside and count the hours until the day is done.  The kids never know.  Fred, occasionally, feels my wrath but I'm pretty good about letting him know that I'm in no mood for his little jokes.  Usually I find them charming and cute.  But when I tell him that I'm in "no mood", truly, it means that "I'M.IN.NO.MOOD".  He backs away slowly being careful not to make any sudden moves.

It's Trick or Treat tonight.  It was suppose to be last Thursday but the forecast was for heavy rains and high winds. This is 2011 and children are glued to their Wii(s) and Xbox(es).  They barely leave the house when it's 80 degrees and the sun is shining brightly.  Drag them outside in 60 degrees and a slight breeze, it's almost like killing them.  They are such babies.

But it is Halloween and really, doesn't it just seem right that Trick or Treat should be held on Halloween?  Honestly, do you open presents four days before Christmas?  Alright, maybe some of you do.  But if so, you're wrong.  In fact, if I were to take a poll, I bet most folks would agree with me.  Let's see what these people have to say.  Especially the hot 20ish, 30ish, 40ish guy at about a minute in.



Happy Halloween!
Your Friend, m.(Susquehanna Dad)
p.s. Do I really sound like that?  How awful!
