Two Throw-Ups and a Biting incident: A Halloween Tale
Ok so I got a big slap in the face today, on this feast of all Hallows Eve. I barely made it through the day as the darling little goblins known as my students EXPLODED with excitement. The day brought quite terror to this pre-school teacher. Two children really did explode with vomit. I couldn't tell you where it came from, because they really didn't each much candy. And then there was the biting...yeah that was bad. Poor little 'adult balls' Bakari got attacked. OH MY GOD what a day. So this is my reflection....My life has changed...alot

Just a few short years ago (ok 5 years, but it seems like a short time to me) I was not living through Halloween, I was living it up. It was my senior year of college, and I was living with 5 other girls. We all decided that we would do a costume together...What else could six college buddies be but a six pack of beer! It was so much fun. We packed ourselves into a borrowed van and headed for the Castro in the city. Now, I feel as young now as I did then, but guess what? Tonight I could not gather the strength to get my butt into a costume, let alone get myself out of the house. HOW SAD. Tonight my sister is in the Castro and I am in Castro Valley Oh man, getting old is so weird. It is not a bad thing, but it is strange to think how life can change. Just a reflection.
