Divorced, and Halloween with kids 

It's Halloween and it's Friday night.  I'm single.  Shouldn't I be out on the town or something?  Instead here I am, prepping the pumpkins, donning the costumes and preparing for trick or treating with my kids once again.  Not that I really mind.  But in ten years of being divorced, I am the one that has taken the kids out every single year.  Seems my ex always 'has other plans'.  I'm not really complaining.  I love spending the extra time with my kids.  They are getting so big, so fast, in fact I'm surprised they still go out honestly.  But they do.  I just wonder why it is that I am always the one doing all of the wonderful things with my kids.  Does he ever feel like he's missing out?  I wonder if these things just don't matter to him, or if he just gives them up because he knew they mattered to me.  Anyway, I'm on my way out and can't wait, as this may be the last year for it in my house!
