Good Evening! It’s Sunday night and here I sit facing the same all too familiar dilemma as most Sunday nights.; the unavoidable approach of Mucking Funday!!! Just about every Sunday night I stay up late because I don’t want to accept the fact the weekend has ended. I can be dog tired and my mind won’t let me rest.
The grand-baby is tucked in bed and the vampires have taken a temporary furlough. This is what I call our grown kids who won’t leave! I liken them to vampires as they are up all night and sleep all day. They try to suck the life out of me every chance they get!!! They leave home but they keep coming back! I don’t get it? My generation couldn’t wait to spread our wings and fly away… I would love to write a post; “50 ways to get your grown children to move out permanently!” However, I have had no success in this department ,and I have already tried more than 50 ways, and No Sir-ee Bob , they are not going to budge…
So here I am relaxing at my computer soaking up the silence…The house is quiet; just the sound of crickets outside my open window and the cats prancing around doing their nocturnal dance. I finally have a a little time to myself to ponder my next post…..
The Vampires got me thinking about the time of year and all the ghoulies coming out , so perhaps I will do a Halloween post next. I only have a couple issues with this. First, I can already foresee it turning into several posts as I have several ideas for a Halloween post(s). Secondly, I spook so easily! No kidding!!! I can’t even watch scary movies by myself anymore… I don’t like the dark evil stuff in my head. It scares the crap out of me!!!
My mother was Pennsylvania Deutsch and she educated me on the Boogie Man and Bad Juju! I’ve always considered myself to be a cross between Stephen King’s Carey, Karen Silkwood, and Ferris Bueller. LOL! So perhaps I will write 3 posts; one for each personality… a scary folklore post, a scary reality post, and a fun Halloween post…. Any thoughts on that?
Okay. I guess I have finally grown tired, and am going to have to sleep on it… I strongly dislike Mondays no matter how I try to psyche myself out… Goodnite… and have a Happy Mucking Funday!

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I’m looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
Thanks for your interest in the post. It may be a popular and timely topic as Halloween is soon upon us and many people have diverse opinions as to what this celebration really is and/or represents. I have my own opinion on this subject, but giving readers a choice of 3 different angles may appeal to a wider spectrum. The Mucking Funday post is basically tossing a brain fart into the blogosphere to survey others’ preference to which angle if I am to do a Halloween post… Which Halloween post would you prefer? A folklore/ fictional post? A reality/non-fiction post? or a fun Trick or Treat post? If you prefer all 3, then you may be right; it may be complicated….

For my first Halloween, I was 10 months old, and there is a picture of me — ancient Black & White photo — of me and my Mom, me in a Mickey Mouse mask & costume, and my Mom looking beautiful just like she always did.
Actually, I never went out for Halloween that year (1959), and have no memory of it anyway, (other than the photo), because we couldn’t go out Trick or Treating until my Dad got home from work and he had to work late, so I’d fallen completely asleep by that time.
I didn’t really miss anything, but I think the aunts & uncles were disappointed that the new ‘little-one’ didn’t come for trick or treat… Ah well, we all survived it.
But I still cherish that picture and the story.
I have both fond and scary memories of Halloween as a child. My Grand Baby’s first Halloween was last year. She was only 1 yr. old, so I suppose it was for the grown-ups more than her as she won’t remember it either. She was a little Devil but didn’t like her red shoes too much. LOL! She just handed out the goodies, and we paraded her around to a few close family and friends. This year she will probably be a butterfly if Nana can get on the ball. That seems to be her new favorite word at 2 years old… “BU FLI ”
BTW… There is a market for Vintage Halloween costumes. If you still have your vintage Mickey Mouse costume (in good condition of course, and/or with the original box), you can probably sell it. There are some adorable Vintage Mickey Mouse Costumes for sale on ebay.
I’m off to work on my next Halloween post now. Check out my first one; Trick or Tweet! I had to take a short break from writing my second Halloween post because it was too scary! It gave me the Heebie Jeebies!
Happy Halloween!!!
