Halloween Party

I love Halloween. It's my favorite holiday. So tonight after work I went over to the Halloween party at church. It was fun. A lot of my kids from Sunday School class came. One of my friends said it'd be nice to see them when I didn't have to work. Well, I didn't have to teach Sunday School, but as I assembled 100 hot dogs to feed the masses, I figured that I'd somehow got roped into doing work. It was fun and the kids liked it. And I'm ready for Halloween. Just have to remember to buy candy for the trick-or-treaters who are coming Thursday. They're coming to my work, not out here to No Man's Land.

Even though I have an unmanageable amount of children in my Sunday School class, I wouldn't trade it in the world. They are great kids, and the fact that there are so many of them makes me very hopeful for the future of the Church. A couple of weeks ago I was in town walking around the track and little Jack from my class was there riding his tricycle with his mom. He was so excited to see me and we had a good chit-chat, considering that he's not yet 4 years old. Today when I got to church for the party, little Rita from my class was all dressed up walking to church. When she saw me, she screamed my name, ran over to me and walked into the parish hall with me, holding my hand. Even though I don't have little ones of my own, it's nice to make an impact on children. Maybe someday I'll have my own kids to dote on, but until then I'm content with borrowing others' for a few hours.

I love the fall, but I don't enjoy the shortened days. I've always suspected that I have seasonal affective disorder, and I'm pretty much useless in the evenings after the time changes. The minute the sun goes down, I am ready for bed.

One final thought for today. I've been following this whole Kate Moss thing a little bit, and I was just wondering if anyone was really, honestly, truly shocked that she was on the nose candy. Seriously?

I've been neglecting the song of the day, mostly because I've been neglecting the blog a little bit. Anyhooo...not much to say about it. It's pretty self-explanatory. It's funny. You know this girl. Hell, you might even be this girl. Everyone has someone that "Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off" by Joe Nichols reminds them of. Now pass me a margarita...
