Edit: Some of this post has been deleted. Had a think about things overnight..
- Most men just don’t understand what goes into planning a party
- Party planning is like the proverbial Iceberg. 90% planning, 10% execution
- When they say they need a list of things to help with they don’t always mean it. And that is so completely NOT the point.
- Don’t attempt to get a room painted in your house the same week you have a party. You will be the one running around at the last minute buying the paint that was meant to be bought over the weekend
- Of the 3 children in my house it is always the boy that keeps the hair accessories and beads and bangles on for the longest.
- Ditto the handbag
- And my heels
- Potty training girls is not as easy as some Smug Moms say
- Especially not twin girls
- Do NOT buy little steps for potty training girls. They consider them to be potties.
- Risotto takes for farking ever to make and NOT a mid-week meal. Especially if one of us is running after aforementioned potty training twins
- Silent treatment is The Bomb
- Always be horribly late for work. That way you are guaranteed to miss the fire evacuation and the walk down 13 flights of stairs
- And lastly: screw the party budget. I’m going BIG.
Disclaimer: I reserve the right to have a general little whine. No children were harmed during the writing of this post.
Touch stressed I see.
Love Risotto,just don’t like to make it
Eish…the stress of planning a party. You are right. The men just don’t get it. And I LOVE the silent treatment. It’s my favourite form of tantrum. When I am not PMSing. Sterkte.xx
hugs…now I shall run off & hide till the party stress if over π
Hang in there!
Sounds like Mommy’s over-achiever gland is working hard. The party will be worth it, you’ll see!
Sterkte, dink net aan die ontspanning wat jy gaan voel wanneer die partytjie verby is π
LOL, good luck! Can’t wait for the pics!
I am sure that the party will be great. π xxxx
Wonderful post. Enjoy the party.
ROFLMAO! I wish I could’ve seen your unedited version!
I stress big time planning a party – planning & organising is really not my strong point. Neither is a houseful of kiddies. Potty training is bad enough on it’s own without also painting a room in the house, making risotto (what possessed you? Woolies has really good mac n cheese LOL) and planning a party!
Yay for missing fire evacuation. I would’ve been pissed if I had to walk down 13 flights of stairs when I just got to work in a frazzled state.
Good luck with the planning – the photos will be so worth the effort and the blown budget π
Every boy needs the budget on his party blown at least once! Good luck with the party!
Everyone is allowed to whine occassionally π
lol π good luck with the party prep!
