*banging head*

210 treaters......200 treat bags.  AUGHHH.....  You make MORE, you get less.  You make less, you get MORE.
Darn good thing we had a big bowl of candy in reserve (for he-who-likes-candy).  No treater left empty handed!  Ah.......and it was a good night for the wee ones.  Gosh golly, they were adorable!  Amazingly so.


AND lemme bang my head and repeat what he-who-does-black-and-white said.

"You get to go back to work....isn't that what matters?!"

Ummmm...NO.
YES......but no.

I mean YES--  I'm gladder than glad.
And no.....cuz I think I'm just a tad unsure how I'll manage with some of the pain I get.
But YES cuz I miss people and families and kiddos and doing what I get to do.
But no...  *sigh*

Best plan is to get in there and find out, methinks.
So...calling the boss today to talk about HOW and when and all the details.

Ohhhhhhh....it'll be good!

WOW...210?!?!?

I was talking with a dear friend of mine last night who lives in Florida, while she was handing out candy to the Trick or Treaters last night, and she said the same thing! She had more this year than last, and was scared she was going to run out of candy.

I told her, "Pennies...give them pennies!" HA!

Happy Friday, dear lady. Have a super weekend!

((((((((((( You ))))))))))))))

Wow, awesome turn out...we had maybe 10.

And you live in a small town??

I wish I lived in an area that had a community that did stuff like that still.

Miss all that fun...

Glad you had a good time with it!!

Hi Mel,

Well done! Wow; that;s a lot of kids!! How disciplined to count them all and still find time to enjoy small talk & costumes.

It all worked out... you just raided Sir's stash :).

Be well, my friend xox

210 ... wow! We had.... er... none. Of course, I didn't expect any with the area being so quiet. Good luck with the going back to work bit if that's what you decide. That's the trouble with having so much time off, people get missed... and how!

Wow 210!!!! I'd say your got an extra blessing. ;)

As far as going back to work. I'm thinking the pain may be less because you'll be focused on doing what you love and loving on all the people. ;)
