Work, It's Real Fun Stuff

So I have a job.  I can't complain, because compared to most I have it made in the shade.  I'm a coach for a gym that treats all it's employees amazing.  I coach competitive cheerleading, recreational cheerleading, cheernastics, and anything else they need me for.  My recreational cheerleading and cheernastics classes have a showcase coming up that I have to prepare for.  In other words I have to make up an original routine for every class I teach.  It's been interesting.  The advantage of working at a movie theatre, or fast food restaurant is that your work doesn't come home with you.  This of course comes with making up routines.  It sounds simple, but a routine has to have an opening, running tumbling, standing tumbling, stunts, a dance, a cheer, and a pyramid.  In addition I also have to pick out my own music that needs to pieced together.  Fun stuff right?  Oh yeah, you guessed it. It's stressful.  As stressful as my job is, the more i work doing this, i love it more and more.  So as much as I can complain about my job, I love the kids I work with and make me smile so much.  Besides I would give anything not to be flipping burgers!

So Yeah, Halloween

Halloween. Every kid big or small loves the chance to get to dress up in costumes, and get free candy!  If you were to do that any other day you would just get weird looks. The question is though, how big is too big to tick or treat?  I've seen someone who is a junior in high school come to my door.  Then again, I've also heard of people who had several college kids trick or treat at their house.  The trick?  Instead of candy, they received Ramen Noodles instead.  Those college kids left very happy.  I know this is an extreme and they probably were just goofing around and having fun, but should college kids or juniors and seniors in high school really get candy?  I'm not so sure.  I think Halloween is meant to little kids to be all cute in their little costumes.  They can get all dressed up and get a special once a year treasure of a bag or bucketful of candy.  When older kids try to dress up and get candy I can't help but think "you could easily pay for this yourself".  Halloween will always be a fun holiday, but trick or treating should be just for the kid-os.
