Well, it was a good day....
Sunny, brisk, and pleasant. The kids played relatively calmly together. And we had Boy #2's birthday party at the Chick-Fil-A in Taylors. All of the friends he invited from church were there and none of the friends from school. I guess I'm not surprised; I'm under the opinion that the kids at the elementary school don't tell their parents what they need to. I just hope that no one went to the more local Chick-Fil-A looking for us. He won this party from the local radio station and this is the store that sponsored it, so that's where we had to have it. But despite there only being half the boys there, it was a good party anyway. They went into the inside playground and ran around in there like maniacs, they ate the food, enjoyed the cake and ice cream. Boy #2 got nice gifts, the most exciting to him being the Game Boy Advanced that Mommy managed to track down.
We had the opportunity to go to one of two parties this evening, and ended up going to neither. I can't say I'm terribly disappointed; after supervising the birthday party, I was rather tired out. And I have Christmas cards to do as well as finishing the decorating. The kids and I will be working on it over the next few days. We've got the tree up and the lights on it, and that's as far as we got yesterday. Tomorrow we're going to my bro's and SIL's to celebrate my SIL's birthday. I have no idea what to give her. I guess I'll figure out something.
Don't know why I'm so down about the holidays. I think I need to get back working with Flylady. I was so much happier with my house in order. Sigh.
