We had a pretty uneventful Halloween evening.  This was the first year our kids decided they were too old to trick or treat.  The boys were at their moms and Hylari went to the church to serve food to help raise money for the teens to adopt a family at Christmas time.  I handed out candy in which we really didn't have all that many trick or treaters.  Our street is a cul de sac off of the main street in the neighborhood.  Only us and the people across the street were passing out candy so perhaps the kiddos didn't think it was worth walking up our street for two houses.  All I know is I am going to have to get rid of the leftovers so that I am not munching on it.

My cell phone rang around 8:00PM and when I answered it the caller indentified himself as the superintendent of our school district.  I am heavily involved with the school but wasn't sure why the superintendent would be calling me directly.... especially on my cell phone.  I then quickly noticed it was a recording informing me that our school district has a confirmed case of the MRSA virus.  I couldn't find much information on the website nor was there anything on the news last night or this morning.  The website did give suggestions on how to try to prevent from catching it so I sat Hylari down last night and told her about it and told her to not be using anything of anyones and reminded her to not be eating or drinking after anyone.  The whole thing weirds me out.  I want to know which school it is at.  I would venture to guess one of the two high schools in the district but then again you never know.  I am going to frequently check the school website today to see if any additional information comes up. The recording did say they would send a letter home today with the students.  As well, we have a PTA meeting on Tuesday night and I am going to be asking questions. 

Tonight is Mike's final high school football game.  It is a happy and sad occassion.  I cannot believe how fast time is flying by. I met my husband when Mike was 11 and now he is months away from turning 18. It just seems like yesterday he was a little boy and now he is a man.  It may be a cliche but they do grow up so fast.  Last night as my husband and I sat on the couch waiting for trick or treaters to come to do our door we talked about the reality of it just being us two in our home one day.  While we will enjoy that chapter of our life I fear it is going to come way to fast.  I don't want my booboos to grow up and move out.

Have a great day!
