Oh it was long. I helped with favors... and that was quite enough! A whole wek went into this thing adn I wasn't even helping arrange! I made little pots with plants in 'em, had to run them over my mother's (an hour away) who of course wanted me to spend time, had to rearrange the day I was going to do that bec. the little one got sent home with a 102 fever, had a test at school, worked 2 days (unusual, I'm leftover Christmas help at a mall store and I get like 4 hours work a week maybe), had to pack us all up for an entire weekend away (more work than you think!!) and had to figure in the kid's dance class the mornnig of and we HAD to be there bec. there was a parent's meeting where you found out about the recital in late may/early june and how/when to get tickets -- this place has 2000 students and people CAMP OUT the night before they go on sale to get tickets!!!! holy cow!!! And we had to drop off the puppy at mom's which is out of the way to the shower bec. he couldn't go and he couldn't stay home... did I mention getting and wrapping presents?

So the shower was nice. The next day mom wants to go buy curtains for the living room she's redoing and she takes HOURS and HOURS and I"m STARVING I was going to KILL her... then I develop a 102 fever.

Fun huh? I'm just now out of bed and I still have a sore throat.
