halloween dread
Halloween has gone very poorly with my daughter every year. In fact I think every Nov1 I swear that I’m not going to celebrate halloween with her ever again. (and yet here I am doing it AGAIN)
It seems like there is no reason tomorrow shouldn’t turn out to be just easy and fun. I think I have fairly low expectations, and she is excited about the idea of costumes and trick-or-treat. All we have to do is get home and eat a little something -just like normal- and then dress her in the costume that she’s worn several times (and loves) and go next door to get candy. If that goes well offer to take her to trick-or-treat at my folks house 5 min away. That doesn’t seem like too much additional chaos added to a normal day, does it? Well, it's been mostly a disaster every other year. We’ll see how it goes tomorrow, maybe my extra good mood will have an effect on the whole thing. Maybe I’ll start by going to bed early - can’t hurt. I didn’t really want to be doing my chores anyway.
