I've been having a pretty fun day so far (I'll go in to more detail about my team's interactive costume once I get the pictures uploaded) until a few minutes ago when I got smacked with some depression. The company allowed employees to bring their children in to trick-or-treat along the offices. The kids just walked by my office. Most of them were really little - like 3 and under. It's times like that when I really miss the possibility of motherhood. I still don't understand why it's not in the cards for me. I know, people will tell me I still have plenty of time left...but really, I don't. I'm almost 35...that doesn't really leave much time. I'm pretty sure at this point that it's a dream I have to give up and it breaks my heart. I know many of you share similar feelings and know how I feel. Just needed to share.
Sorry this one wasn't funny.

I know how you feel.
I had a little tinge of that when I took my nephews to my ward Halloween party.
(But, I have to admit that by the end of the night, I was happy to send them on their sugar-high way.)
Laura, come on in and volunteer in my classroom this year. It is enough to drive me to drink. Not really, but I feel like I need 5 morning Pepsis just to be ready to speak to them. I actually told one of my students this morning that I wasn't actually ready to hear him talk yet and that he needed to sit quietly for about 2 minutes before he talked to me again. It lasted for about 30 seconds, but that was 30 more than I had originally.
I don't know if coming to visit my class would really help because we all assume that when we have kids of our own they will not be little monsters. Although it does make you wonder and worry. At least it does me.
