It’s that time of the year when our downtown has their trick or treat event for the local kiddos. Today I will be handing out little trinkets to hundreds of kids while my own kid holds down the fort inside.

This is usually a stressfest. But fun. 🤣

Trying to keep the business secured and kids quickly ushered in and out without chaos (especially when you have two people vs hundreds) is crazy. 🤪

The event is starting an hour earlier this year so from 10am -1pm it’s going to be utter chaos. Most likely will be u day caffeinated and holding on for dear life. I love this event but it also scares the shit out of me.

I carefully choose things I think kids will like instead of the usual Candy stuff. Every year we get kids trying to double or triple dip into the goodies they’ll come back over and over again. It doesn’t make me mad. I think it’s kind of funny and I love that they love our stuff so much that they always want to come back and get more . I don’t love when the parents ask for stuff… That kind of irritates me. But we’re also trying to promote our business at the same time so it’s a double edge sword.

On top of all of this, I am working on about 6 1/2 hours of sleep. We have had very long nights at the shop. Lots of events and stuff. I am running on fumes! I love Halloween… But this time of year kicks my ass. I’m not getting any younger. 🫣😂

Wish me luck. I’m gonna need it 😬
