A friend of mine had a jewelry party a few weeks ago and the nice friend that I am, attended, plus I needed a night away from the kiddos. Anyway, I had an OK time looking at jewelry, chatting it up with other moms, and of course wining some free jewelry. Then I went and did something I shouldn’t have done - I signed up to have a party!
I know, I know, I should kick myself for doing it, but what’s done is done. I’m not going to cancel, so I will trudge along. So in May, I will be hosting a party for jewelry; a thing I said I would never do! I hate the whole idea; inviting people to it, cleaning up for it, trying to figure out what kind of foods to serve. UGH!
I’m just not a party person - home parties like this I mean :). I don’t like when people feel obligated to buy something because they showed up. I hate when people show up to have a good time and would like to buy something, but can’t because they can’t afford it. You know, all the same things that happen at all the other home-type parties.
So, I look at the bright side of it, if enough people show up, I get money off - plus free jewelry. Having the party gives me a reason to have people over and have adult beverages. Now that I am thinking about all the people that I plan to invite, all of them are brunettes. Nothing better then a room full of dark haired beauties 
- OK, dark haired 30-somethings that are getting together for a night without kids!
So, I will look at the bright-side, hope to have fun and look forward to everyone else having fun, or at least look like they are. In the event that anyone gets a bit over-done, I will also have some great stories to tell for “just in case” timing too!
Wish me luck!

Spring Break for my kiddos was last week. They stayed up late, they partied harder than mom, and now they hate returning to school. OK, so I was lax over the week, it was Spring Break for heaven’s sake., but no one can get back into the groove now. Tired and cranky is how the past few mornings have been, but usually once up, Miss K is ready to go. Not Mr C.
Sluggish and tired; no get-up and go, we all are still on Spring Break and want to sleep in, do what we want and forget time exists. Then I wake up from that day dream and realize we are in the real world again and sleeping in is a thing of the past. OK, I guess schedules win.
Today was just funny to hear nothing but, “I’m too tired to wake up.” ” No, I’m not going to school.” “Please don’t make me go!” Oh how I love the sound of tired in the morning, that means they will fall asleep at least on time, if not earlier, for bed tonight. Know what that means for mom? Yea, getting to go to bed early too! Hmm, what did you think I meant?
