My favorite holiday of all time as a kid is Halloween. Dressing up, being scary, Halloween decorating and horror movies are hella fun. This year the big kid in me has returned and I am gonna really get into the spirit. I am gonna be a pregnant Angel (not a old witch hag that some people expect)--complete with wings and a halo, but with a really scary face. I am really excited to enjoy my last Halloween as a childless woman, for I'm sure the Halloweens to come will be full of magical fun of the cuter sort...not demons, evil angles and ministers of darknesses, I'm really going for scary this year.....so we invited a few friends over for a small party and we are gonna stop at the local bar (virgin drinks for me, so don't worry)
But, for the first time I realize, that sometimes single, childless people act like freakin' senior citizens. Some complained that we should have the party on the weekend. Some exasperated people talk about how they have to work the next day and a party on a Tuesday is just too much for us to ask for! I guess some even think Halloween night is a non-event or they are just too tired..If anyone should complain about being tired it should be me, I'm the pregnant one! I can't wait to dress up, pass out candy and just be silly, but so far, we are only counting on 2 people who definitely will show up. Well the rest can just go to hell! Now I know why people with kids hang out with other people with kids. I think having kids really make you re-live your childhood, plus maybe it weeds out the lazies who have no energy for bloody punch and spider legs cupcakes. I suppose in the future, I'll just have to invite a bunch of parents and their kids over. Someone's gotta appreciate the haunted forest I created my living room.
