Halloween costume-2

At lunch break, I went outside and smoked a couple of cigarettes with some of the other workers and all of them were marveling and commenting on how good I looked and how well I was carrying off what had to be a difficult costume to wear. “Costume!” I thought to myself. “If they ONLY knew!” After lunch, we all went back in and the “gals” and I freshened our makeup, which started a whole new round of laughing AND compliments on how well I did it!

The party itself began about 15 minutes after everyone was done with lunch and we took the wheelchair bound people down to the large hall first. I had no problems on the high heels, pushing the wheelchairs and, within about 15 minutes more, everyone was ready for the party to begin. We had spent the whole morning helping the clients get into their costumes and they were looking great! Everyone was smiling and having fun and then the band fired up and the party began.
We spent the better part of two hours at the party with the clients having a marvelous time and everyone who could, was up dancing. Now, I don’t normally dance unless it’s a slow dance and I like to be the one who leads, if you get my drift! From out of nowhere, one of the workers from another Day care center that was there sharing the party with us, came up behind me and tapped me on the shoulder! I turned around to see who it was and what they wanted and found myself staring at a guy who was, obviously, asking me to dance!
