Not a Halloween party, just a pity party

I'm throwing myself a pity party today. Once again, I'm the designated chauffeur to a bunch of Teenagers tonight as all the parents are going to be at different Halloween parties. Again, I'm the one that is going to be home alone, while all my other friends wont' go out and they won't do anything fun this evening. Either because they will work tomorrow morning or becuase they have other plans or just won't go out. Drives me INSANE.
I PROBABLY could find a party to go to by myself, but then I keep thinking the cops will be out, the people are all going to be drunk crazy and I don't want to dress up. I KNOW, I sound like a total pooper.
I don't attend meetups anymore, because I don't want to run into anyone that I knew. I know that sounds stupid, but I kind of realized they weren't really my friends, but only mere aquaintances during a time when I needed friends.
My mom said, I should go on a date and I told her the LAST thing I want to do right now is date. LOL. Dating a guy, just to get out of the house seems really stupid, because it adds that un-needed stress in my life, when I'm actually happy the way things without a man in my life to cause drama. That last drama with RF was enough for me to keep me at bay from meeting anyone else. The men, just always seem to have SUCH issues. UGH.
This whole working from home, isn't all it's cut out to be. I'm just finding myself recluse more and more. Totally sucks.

Nothing. It's really hard, because anything interested will be completely full time. I need something flexible. DD is competing in gymnastics now, so she has practice 3 days per week at 5:15. So I can't do the 9-5 thing anymore.
How are things with your job? I know you're going through a rough patch with it too.

I usually don't get dressed up or go out on Hallowe'en either- but this year I'm doing BOTH!
I have a HUGE pity party on my bday nearly every year: Valentine's day is my bday.
If it makes you feel any better PreciousTwo, I just had a blowup with my STBX over trick or treating and our children. He's all about whatever he wants or whatever is easier. He even managed to pull out the curse words at me while we were outside. Lovely. NOT! I'll take your teenage carpool over that, any day ;)
I'm sitting here at work, putting new real estate listings into the computer. So at least you guys all get to be at home. =-)
Joining in. I am stuck here at work. I am bummed because I ran last year with RG at night in the historic section of a beautiful CT town. The kids were just getting started at trick or treating and the homes were all decorated. We had a blast. But now I am at work and he is home bored.
Holidays have no meaning for me anymore. I am usually at work and thousands of miles away from family. It sucks.
folks at least lets turn on a scary movie and eat ice cream or pizza (good idea Mark). Cuddle our dogs and chill a little.

Well, this year was DS's first trick or treating experience. We went to the Children's museum for some activities and then went to a few houses for trick or treating. We were home with him in bed by 8 pm, just in time for my Halloween treat "Ghost Whisperer". Of course what I really want right now is someone to rub my aching feet. :(
BTW: DS did great and was so good. He didn't even complain when we called it a night (the rest of the group were staying out) I will have to post a pic soon. He was a train conductor.
Our bell has only rung three times.
Don't you feel pathetic when your mom starts to want to get involved with your love life? My mom is a guy magnet, and every now and again she tells me about some guy who is a son of an acquaintance, who makes a million, who has some kids, etc, etc. Like I am going to pick up the phone and call this complete stranger.
I also wind up in the mode of the mom who can do this, that, and the other thing, cause I have nothing else going on. Sigh.
I wish I had more of a social life, but I live in the burbs, everything shuts down pretty early (ye olde fashioned blue laws of New England) and half the time I am too damned tired to be nice to any potential dates OR friends.
We should get together. I am in western Mass. I know what you mean by towns rolling up sidewalks at 9pm. Unfortunately I work at one of the few places that stays open 24/7/365.
