The Party

Ok, Last night was.... So many different things Its hard to describe. I could look at the whole thing and be upset that hardly anyone showed up. but I'm not. I blame myself mostly anyway, I didnt get the invite out there in advance, not anything official anyway. Danielle had a perfectly good reason for not being able to make it, so she better not feel bad! lol And I'm not upset that Nikki couldnt make it, I'm kinda afraid she's a party girl and I dont need to influence a younger adult than myself. She's got enough on her plate as it is. I didnt however expect last night to go the way it did.

Party Prep: Brian took the kids down to his parents friday night while I was at work. His parents offered to take them to Portage to see their cousins w/them on Sat so we were kid free last night. :) Which also meant that he stayed down at his friend's place "The Cave." lol I had the house to myself when I got home from work. I got organizing done before bed. It made yesterday a lot easier to get through the day. Brian didnt get home until about 3pm. I was about to be getting up from my nap at the time. But that meant I had the whole day to myself to get ready for the party. Most people would hate having to do all the work themselves, but it also gave me the time to get pumped up, feel accomplished and be alone. No fighting, just me hanging out, cleaning. I did a lot of work, but I took my time, played MY music and enjoyed it.

Luckily when brian did get home, he was a big help! Helped w/decor stuff and whatnot. Another good thing that came from this party: I got a lot of little cleaning projects done that have been needing it! lol the basement is in much better condition, and the upstairs actually still looks pretty good. I still have many little projects I'd like to do, but my time is coming! only 2 more weeks of working. (side note: I think I need to write an official letter of resignation? my boss said something about it. now I need to look like an idiot and ask him.) So anyway, things were going good w/Brian before people got here so that was nice. The Burgs got here around 6-6:30 I think. maybe it was closer to 7, but I'm not sure. anyway... the fun begins!

First Arrival: Ahh the Selburgs. I heart them. when we're all in good moods and not tired we have a blast. no-matter what we do. somehow, we just always enjoy our time. So I decided I wanted to get started for the party and so we went to the backroom. I also had to finish my hair. I looked really cute last night but didnt take any pictures of myself. I only took 4 photos at all actually. and we should have taken more.

So we started just our usual, backroom, music, talk, goof-off for a little bit, I'm getting food stuff around also. I knew the only person I was waiting for was Mary and her bf Matt. well she finally txt saying that they would be there around 8:45pm. ok, a little late, but I knew they had other plans earlier in the evening. So we start playing kinect. always a good time, kinect. lol

It was about 9:30 when Mary showed up. Just Mary, Matt missed out. we played Twister, more backroom fun, then I pulled out what ended up being one of the most epic games ever! we all had a blast, we were laughing our asses off and didnt stop playing until Mary left around 1am...

Now, if the Selburgs didnt have to get up early we would have stayed up and continued to have fun, but it was bedtime so we hit the hay. but I still got .up at like 7:30am to make them breakfast before they had to go. yes, even after gourding ourselves last night. Anyway, I was on cloud nine last night, this morning, and mostly just feeling the need too rest now. lol  I drove down to get the kids and ended up over at the Burgs for the rest of the afternoon/into the evening. Just me and the kids, Brian stayed home. so it was a relaxing day today too.

Well, thats enough about my awesome weekend and wondering still how I got so lucky to have a everything fall into place last minute!
