Tonight me and the Mrs. stepped out with the two little ones (the oldest opted to stay at home and do his homework... a wise choice). It was cold, but very fun. The youngest displayed an amazing fear of dogs. Big dogs, little dogs, black and white dogs... and there was one house that he wouldn't go near unless I carried him. Even then he was very nervous (there were spooky noises and, were I him, I'd be scared too).
But, overall, I think the kids had a mess of fun, and they made out like bandits.
(More cuteness abounds, but you should see my wife's blog for details).
Our front porchlight was out, and we forgot to light the pumpkins, so not many people stopped by. Looks like we'll have to eat our candy all by ourselves. Darn it.
On the job front, I've discovered that Colleges and Universities are largely useless in the pursuit. I'm still trying, and they have guidebooks that I haven't utilized yet, but I'm not optimistic. I've had to withdraw from college for the semester (for reasons that are probably obvious), but I've put in for next semester and only have 20 HOURS left to go. Not 2 years. Not even, really, one year. If I were to go full time, I'd be done in 2 semesters (spring and summer). If I get a full-time job (which is most likely), it will probably take me between 3-4 years (3 credits per semester). I'm not really happy about that span, but I understand that we need income, and a full-time job actually offers that.

Man, I know what you mean. I just started back to school. I'm going through Keller, a school that caters to people with jobs and I'm still looking at about 3 years of school if I take one class per session. I'm going to try and fit in 2 per session after this first one. That could get me done in under two years, but that is going to be real busy while working.
I can vouch for the four year degree opening opportunities that otherwise wouldn't be there. I'm trusting the grad degree will be as good as the tell me.
Good luck. I'm glad to hear the home life is looking better.
