How is it Halloween already?! I don't even have anything clever to say, just this shock that the year's almost over. Last Halloween, Char Bar had just learned to roll over, and this year I had to put the pumpkins on the mantel so she wouldn't run off with them.
So yeah, like every other parent, I'm exhausted. So much so that I sometimes wish I could trade all my shoes for a nap. But I'm also -- happy. Because that's one of the things about being busy. The little things that used to bother you seem kind of ridiculous. Mostly because they're replaced by big things, like trying to stop your toddler from racing across the street. But also because being in charge of a life other than your own has a way of putting things in perspective.
So happy Halloween. I'm grateful that I get to spend even a little of mine with you.
And also that the husband snagged me some pumpkin M&Ms.
