I haven?t done this in a while. I was going to list thirteen of my favorite blogs of all time in no particular order. But instead, I will list the things I?ll be doing tomorrow in preparation for my baby to turn another year older, she is going from 7 to 8. I?m not ready. I feel old.
1. Wake up. This of course is essential to any day really, but, since I am not going to work, the thoughts of sleeping later have already crept into my mind and I keep reminding myself that it will not be a lazy day.
2. Take the dramas to school. 7 has no idea I?m sluffing work. She thinks her party is going to be on Saturday.
3. After I drop them off, run to MIL?s house to pick up the new bike we bought her.
4. Crap! Stop at Target and get her a new helmet to fit her newly grown dome. I cannot believe I forgot that until right this very minute. Shit Shit Shit. Okay, I?ll do Target first, bike second. Shit.
5. Go pick up her cupcakes and balloons at bakery.
6. Take cupcakes to school and drop off after brief meeting with teacher.
7. Go home and clean decorate the house and put up balloons and banner outside saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY 7!!! (She is going to be so surprised!)
8. Somewhere in there, stop and have a cup of coffee and maybe a bagel. I am going to need my strength.
9. Confirm with her best friend?s mom that he is coming home with us after school.
10. Bake and frost her birthday cake.
11. Send The Man to pick up the dramas while I start cooking her favorite meal, Chicken Alfredo with garlic bread and salad.
12. By now, it will be 4:30 p.m. and the family members will begin arriving for dinner.
13. Eat dinner, have cake and ice cream, open presents, begin day one of hearing her new Hanna Montana, Meet Miley Cyrus CD over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
and over and over and over and over
and over and over and over and over
and over and over and over and over
and over and over and over and over
Dang, woman! I’m worn out just reading your list. Congrats, you’ll make it!
ReplyDeleteI would not want to be in your shoes.
ReplyDeleteHA! Hannah Montana is a must in our house these days.
ReplyDeleteHate to break it to ya, bitch, but you are old! :D
ReplyDeleteMy youngest turns 10 next month… but you’re still older (I think!)
You’ll get through it. Somehow.
ReplyDeleteHang in there and celebrate the days. As for the Hannah CD, hey, at least it’s not hardcore rap!
Happy TT!
13 made me laugh out loud. For me, it was the Animaniacs record: the song about the solar system that leaves out one planet (punch line: “What about Uranus?”
ReplyDeleteRe: 4. Hey, at least you remembered! It drives me crazy to see kids riding around WITH THEIR PARENTS and no one wearing helmet.
ReplyDeleteRe:5. How much were they? My wife was at an event last night where the events planner paid $33 for a dozen cupcakes!!!!!!!
You’re a great mom—I miss those days of kids’ parties when they were so innocent and simple shit made em happy!
I can’t believe our little 7 is going to be 8. How did that happen????? Give her a big hug and a big kiss from Auntie Monica. And, tell her I hope I get to see her before she starts college - which at the rate this is going will seem like next year.
ReplyDeleteBTW: the bff is a he? She is SO your daughter. Love you.
I am so sorry about the Hannah Montana CD. I hope her music is better than her show which is awful, and I like teen crap which makes me just a little pervy. But I can’t stand Miley.
ReplyDeleteHope the party went well, and that you got all that stuff done! :)
ReplyDeleteYou’ll be busy! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your little one! What a great day you’re planning for her, you’re making the rest of us look bad. ;)
