Ok, I just need to do a little venting. I am hostessing a 50th Anniversary Party for my in-laws tomorrow and have about 55 people attending. Really, it is my husband and his brother who are giving the party, but you know what that means. Myself and my sister in law have planned everything. Now we are down to the wire and it seems like more stuff is getting dumped on me. My sister in law is a teacher, so she is now completely out of pocket. The location of the party is an hour and a half from me, so I'm going early in the morning to set everything up. Problem is for me to leave early is a nightmare. I have 2 daughters to get ready, and my Alzheimer's mother, who today is deciding that she cannot get out of her bed. I was going to take her to the beauty parlor or the doctor, but she wants to go to neither...so her hair hasn't been cut in ages and I think it's been well over a week since it's been even washed. I can't find the dress that my 4 yo is supposed to wear because we are getting family pics taken before the luncheon by a professional photographer. Also, I don't even know what I'm going to wear. I haven't bought anything and I have a feeling I'm too fat for any of my fancy dresses.
Plus, my puppies are 3 weeks old. I need to get them wormed today, but I'm still not sure if I go to Vet A for a more expensive treatment or Vet B for a self dosage wormer. Also, I wanted to start them on food today, but now I'm thinking maybe I should wait till after tomorrow's party. Once I start feeding them solids...i don't think I can leave them alone for half a day....I'll need to watch them and make sure they are getting enough.
Also, I 'm babysitting for a neighbor at 4 o'clock and having other neighbors over for a cookout at 6pm and I still need to put together 60 plastic champagne glasses and go buy a gold frame for the signed picture mat that I'm displaying tomorrow at the party. Do I sound stressed? I AM! I guess I better get moving!! Pray for my sanity!
