1. Halloween pics to come tomorrow! Our girl was a queen. A nice queen. We trick-or-treated with Rebecca's cousin-twin Hannah and her mom Jasmine.
2. The highlight of trick-or-treating was NOT the candy. It was the ringing of doorbells. The girls took turns ringing doorbells. We came across several homes where the people were sitting outside or groups of neighbors had a little block party in the driveway. These things were huge disappointments for our girls, because it meant they didn't get to ring the doorbell.
3. Rebecca got a SACK full of candy. She ate 2 or 3 pieces last night and then I put 2 pieces in her lunch box. And I got busted. Apparently there is a no candy rule at school. Rebecca scolded me for it this evening. Geez, not even a piece of your Halloween candy on November 1st?
4. This evening, I felt as though I earned the award for terrible mom of the year. Rebecca got covered in mosquito bites while we were trick-or-treating last night. Mosquitoes LOVE her sweet blood apparently. Poor girl!
5. Rebecca was sick toward the end of last week. Ramy picked her up early from school on Thursday, and we skipped her last night of hula because she was running a fever and feeling achy. She was better on Friday but ran a brief fever again that evening. By Saturday she was all better, though she milked it for one more night to get to sleep with mommy.
6. I don't understand the frenzy over Kim Kardashian getting a divorce 72 days after her wedding. First of all, these are reality tv stars who film their entire lives for fame. Secondly, did anyone else watch the wedding spectacular television event? They had nothing in common and they fought the whole time. It was clear they didn't have good communication skills or expectations and hadn't even considered anything past the honeymoon location. And finally, what's it to us? Yeah, she had a crazy elaborate wedding and got millions in gifts and that money could better be spent on starving children in Africa. I agree, but it's not my money. That money was spent whether they divorced or not.
7. I think what I actually find interesting about the apparent outrage over the Kim Kardashian/Kris Humphries divorce is that many of the people I know who are so aghast about it also talk about how gay marriage would erode the sanctity of marriage. Yeah, because straight people haven't thoroughly done that already!
8. This week at work I got officially switched from being a per diem employee to a permanent employee, and I got to keep my day off. I also got a nice raise in honor of my now being licensed. That has made work a lot nicer this week, I have to admit! But actually, it has been a good couple of weeks at work (knock on wood). The stress of the internal politics weighs heavily but I really do love my patients.
9. I've already started Christmas shopping! And I have firm ideas on a few others. That's so exciting! And so unlike me. Watch - I'll get cocky and then not do any more until December 20 and I'll be on here freaking out.
10. Goals for this week: Get Rebecca's flu shot (last appointment cancelled because she has been sick).
