Ok, so I know that some of my posts, while full of witty humor about my crazy day to day life, do generally talk about how my children make me insane. I don't really talk a whole lot about how they bring out the best in me.
Only my children can lay on top of me, with their poking little knees and elbows, and I will still be comfortable.
Only for my children will I spend two hours on the phone with the doctors office to people who just DO NOT UNDERSTAND what I am trying to say to them.
Only for them will I start planning a birthday party a month and a half in advance to make it as fun as possible on our tight budget.
Only for my children will I forgo the shower and the clean house so that I can spend two miserable hot hours sitting outside on the front porch watching them have all the fun.
Do sometime mundane research about finger foods kids love.
Pay for an Ariel birthday cake.
Buy streamers
Water balloons ('nuff said.)
Ok so this is kind of veering off about Scarlet's up and coming birthday party. But genuinely I have been putting in a ton of effort for just a couple hours of fun with her friends and family. I can accept that not everyone will have a complete and utter blast, and some may think that cutting hot dogs to look like an octopus is just silly. But that's the game plan because she informed me that she wants an Ariel birthday party. Wooo Hoooo.
Do you know how hard it is to find Ariel themed items, or to even make it LOOK like you got Ariel themed items??? Very.
But I love her, and I want her to be so excited when she comes home from a week with my mom, to see our house spotless, and filled with the decorations for her birthday party... Cause I'm just that awesome.
