Only Wednesday

So it hit me yesterday that Friday is Halloween. I mean I knew it was Halloween, but since I’m not the one rushing around getting the kids’ stuff together for it, I guess it didn’t really strike me that it’s Halloween. He has them because 1. it’s the weekend, and 2. it’s his dad’s birthday. I’m not sure I really like the idea of being without them on Halloween. It’s going to be weird. I know I’m not staying home, because I’m too afraid of someone doing something or whatever seeing as how I’m not passing out candy because 1. I have none and 2. I’m not going up and down my stairs a 1000 times in one night. My Mom suggested I go out with my friends, but that’s easier said than done for her rather than me. All my friends either have kids or are already going to a party or something. My friend at work wanted me to go to a party with her, but I don’t like going places where I don’t know anyone, and plus I don’t have a costume. My friend said I’m welcome to go to her parents with her and take her daughter trick-or-treating, and I probably will, but I’m almost wondering if that’s going to be even harder. I guess time will tell.

The kids did not want to get moving this morning. I can understand Libby because she was up late last night doing her homework. I told them from now on they need to do it at his parents, and if they have a problem, I can help them or he can help them once we get them. Even Lexi was up late doing hers. Normally she zips right through it because she’s too smart for her own good, but last night it was taking her a while. I said something to her, and she said that ever since she bumped her head, she can’t remember things. This was the first I heard about this. So I asked what she was talking about and she said that she was playing at daddy’s and hit her head. Obviously it must have been quite a bump if she’s saying she can’t remember things. For now I’m just going to brush it off because she never said anything before, but I’m going to keep my eye on her just the same.

It feels like it should be so much later than Wednesday. What a long, slow week…hope it picks up speed soon.
