Halloween

Halloween is coming and Jack is so excited. Every day he tells me he can't wait for Halloween. This year, he really had his heart set on being a clown. You would think this would have been an easy costume to find. Wrong. I couldn't find a kids sized clown costume anywhere. I ended up finding one through Freecycle. Thank God. When I asked Jack what else he wanted to be, he replied a circus clown (like there is a difference). When I told him I was having a hard time, the look of disappointment on his face would have broken anyone's heart.
My sister Jody and Mom were kind enough to teach Jack what they call "The Trick or Treat Song"

Trick or treat
Smell my feet
Give me something good to eat
Thank you

As cute as it is when he sings it, I'm not a big fan of the whole "give me" part. Maybe since I don't sing it with him, he'll forget the words by Halloween, but since the kid seems to be remembering just about everything lately, I'm sure he will remember.

The Time Has Come

I go back to work today. I can't believe it's actually time to be going back to work. Has it been a year already? Clearly it has. Wow, that went by so quickly.
Not that I'm working a whole lot. I work one day a week and every other Saturday. That is of course, until I find another job or pick up extra shifts. I wonder how Jack is going to be today when I leave and he stays with the babysitter. I hope he is okay. I can tell already he's going to have a hard time. He already doesn't like it when I just talk to him about it. My poor, sweet boy.
Oliver, he will have no issues. As long as someone is around to feed him, he doesn't care who is with him. lol

I hope going in for my 5 hour shift doesn't kill me. I want to vomit all over just thinking about. It is definitely much harder this time around.
