I never thought a party could be this exhausting. There were 5 of us cooking/organizing/partying (not the fun kind) and all of us were seriously sore by the end of the event. There were lots of great costumes and lots of glitter, sugar, and fun had by all. A enjoyed himself thoroughly, although, he didn't appreciate the noise levels or the kids trying to play with his toys (what can I say he suffers from only child syndrome). In the end everyone had a good time, we didn't run out of food (HA--if you knew my mother you would appreciate the irony in that fear) and no major catastrophe (although attitude was had in the pre-party prep, but that always seems to happen).
I feel like I have my life finally back and I can't wait to do something for me.
