And there I go again, wandering off into the real world and forgetting about my poor lonely little blog.
I've been lost basically. Stuck in a rut, dealing with the day to day issues - tunnel vision. Well besides lately. Lately I was an idiot. A true idiot, only I would utter these idiotic words, "Hey, why don't we throw a big surprise party for your dads birthday?".... IDIOT.
3 hellish weeks later there is a party, theres is also a hurricane. Damn you Irene, damn you. Actually Irene was a minimal stress factor to me, the major stress issues came from within.
Sister-in-law: "Where do you want to put these trays?"
Myself: "I was thinking it would be ok over there...."
Sister-in-law: "Oh well wouldnt it be better here?"
Myself: "Ok, sure."
Mother-in-law: "How do you want to line these tables up?"
Myself: "I thought vertical to each other so everyone can talk"
Mother-in-law: "But wouldnt it be better if..."
Myself: "Sure."
Sister-in-law #2: "Do you have lights? We can string them up, where should we do it"
Myself: "How about under the canopies and around the deck"
Sister-in-law #2: "I dont know about that, what about down near the bottoms..."
Myself: "Just figure it out your fucking selves... "
Nightmare.
Greasy hamburgers.... tough tomatoes.... browning lettuce...macaroni and cheese is getting cold.... I bet the cake is getting too warm.... I just know that no one will come to this thing because of the weather....
Its over and I couldnt be happier. We DID have people arrive, the macaroni survived as well as the cake, I never saw anyone even request tomatoes, and once I felt I had completed my chaotic running around to make sure everything was fine and everyone was happy, I got drunkity drunk drunk drunk. :)
