Cute kiddie quote: "Miss Cindy, can you come to my house on halloween? It ok, I can ask my mommy"

I had a busy week. I had three days at extern, one class, and one adult diagnostic. I get so tired during the week! I swear, I need 10 hours a night to feel good.

My little cerebral palsy girl had a seizure. I feel so awful for her. I see her twice a week and this week I read her a book and sang her a song. She loves to play with drums, so she plays that while i sing. We're quite a band! One of my favorite children's songs is the itsy bitsy spider. I really love the book, "where the wild things are".

I love halloween.. I think it's my second favorite holiday, after chrismas, and tied with my birthday. I love getting dressed up, going out at night, and seeing all the costumes. I remember being a kid and joining the silly halloween parade at school. There weren't any kids in my neighborhood, so we didn't go trick-or-treating. One year we went to my aunty's house in ewa beach, and I had the best time.

Just a note, I miss long hair!

At Kahaluu elementary school, I've been eating a lot of cafeteria food. One of the cafeteria ladies was wearing an apron that said, "Nothing scares me, I'm a cafeteria lady". I thought that was hilarious. I know it sounds weird, but I love school cafeteria food! Maybe it's from all of the years I ate it. I love the hot turkey sandwiches, the submarine sandwiches, and the spaghetti! I think that the worst part about elementary school was taking the bus.. it was horrible! I had this overcrowded bus with the most jail-bound children yelling and screaming. I feared for my life! They wouldn't let people sit down, they'd harass you for money or candy, and they'd make fun of you! If at all possible, I hope I can pick up and drop off my kids. Whenever I hear the school bus driving by my house, I still cringe.

I hope everyone has a boo-tiful halloween!
