For those of you that don't know, all it has done here in the metroplex for the past few weeks is rain. I heard on the news this morning that October is usually a pretty wet month, and on average we get about an inch and a half of rain. So far we aren't even half way through the month and we've already had about three and a half inches of rain. I guess we should be thankful for the rain, but enough is enough already. Today's forecast is cloudy and cool and tomorrow... you guessed it, more rain. They are saying the weather is going to be great this weekend, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed because I'm ready to see some sunshine.
Enough of that, let move on to the more exciting things :-) Everything with me is still going well. I'm just as busy as ever teaching and working the haunted house. I have the day off today and I must admit that I'm enjoying the break from everything. This is only the second day in the last month that I haven't been on the go or had something to do or somewhere to go. The first one was a few weeks ago when I was sick and stayed home and the other is today, a holiday.
Things at the Haunted House are going well and really starting to pick up. We had about 200 people come through on Friday night and 300 on Saturday night. They say that by the time Halloween gets here, we will have about 800-1000 people come through a night. I can't imagine what that's going to be like, but I'm sure it will be even more fun than it already is. It still amazes me how much I enjoy going out there and doing this. There are a lot of high school kids that come out and volunteer for various reasons, and it's so much fun talking to them and being reminded how I wouldn't want to be that age ever again.
As far as school goes, everything is still going great. I had 2 kids move this past week, so now I'm back down to 10 kids, but I'm getting a girl from one of the other classes on Wednesday so I'll be back up to 11. My kids this year are adorable and I love them to death. We have so much fun and I've been able to build great relationships with each of them. I say a little prayer everyday for things to continue to go well with them. I feel so blessed to have this great group of kids since this is the last year my school will be open.
Well, off to do some laundry and things around the house.
