Well, Happy Halloween to you and yours.
Did you survive your day? I did. I don’t know how because I only had two bites of my PB&J and then I just subsisted on candy corn for the rest of the livelong day.
We are not technically allowed to have a Halloween party so we just did a little Bingo, a little monster craft a la Miss Kindergarten, and we ate some trail mix of which almost all of it inevitably ended up on our floor.
I am pooped and tired, people.
And now kids are going to come to my house and take my candy. Where is the justice, I ask you?
On a good note, the hubby surprised me with:

Yay! I’ve always wanted one and last night we were both cold, and we said how great it would be if we had one because we were way too lazy to make a whole pot of coffee. We are also too lazy to turn the thermostat up. Or down. Or whichever one it is. These are the problems over here in my household.
Another problem? We’re always asking each other where Murphie is because she is never where she used to be.
Anywho, the Keurig will definitely help me stay awake tonight because I’m going to make a cup of coffee, bundle up, and we’re going to sit outside on the porch and greet all the trick or treaters. This is what we do because we are also too lazy to get up and down from the couch over and over and over.
This will be Murphie’s first year to be an official greeter, as well, so that’s practically a cause for some Bailey’s in my coffee, don’t you think?
I think so.
Well, it’s time for a Halloween Flashback of the Lost Limb Variety.
If you haven’t read about My True Halloween Ghost Story, well then, you should. I mean, it’s true. It’s real. It happened to me. Today marks the 17th anniversary in fact.
And, if you have already read it before, well then, I just took up a whole page to talk about candy corn, coffee, and my lazy problems so you just got a whole new blog post anyway.

Happy Halloween and stay safe, everyone!
Happy Halloween! Thanks for sharing my all time favourite blog post in the entire world. I may have printed out copies for my grade partners last year. You're the best. 🙂
Oh man, I just about died laughing at your flashback post. Thanks so much for re-sharing it. 🙂
We don't celebrate Halloween here in Australia, but last year I was in Calgary working at a mall and I had a ball handing out 'candy' ('lollies' to me) to the little ones trick or treating in from the cold. I just love your idea of bundling up with a coffee and sitting on the porch. Hope you had a wonderful night!

Love, Laughter and Learning in Prep!
That story of yours is my absolute favorite. I laugh so hard every time I read it! I would have died if that happened to me! So glad that it all worked out. Enjoy your Keurig- they are pretty cool. Carol
Thank you! That story is the best! I think it could easily go into a Chicken Soup for the Teacher's Soul!

Just as hilarious to read again 2 years later….
OMG…you are too funny. I really love your blog because I don't stress out when I read it. And I thank you for that! 🙂
I love my Keurig so much that I bought a new one for home so I could take my old one to school. During winter, I'm super obsessed with the Cafe Vanilla! It's like white chocolate in a cup!
Oh my, I just read your ghost story, and I laughed out loud, shoulders shaking, tears streaming down my face. Thank you so much for that. I needed it – badly.
