Birthday Party

Today is son's birthday party.  Pray for me.  ha ha  The one thing that made me nervous about parenting was the thought of having to plan birthday parties.  Oi vey. I grew up in a rather solitary family.  My parents never had friends over or even family more than a couple times.  Socializing is just something I never learned.

Anyway, that's the genesis of my stress today.  We're heading over to an indoor pool for several hours and then back here for an ill advised (chuckle) sleepover. 

Our tree is decorated now. All these decorations have special meaning. The angel is from before I was born.  My parents bought it at Target for $2.39 I think.  So much has changed since 1969.  Not only in my life but also in the world.  Oh well.  I don't want to get going on that right now. 

Check out the balloons from the party:
Aren't they cute?  $30 worth and we had to tape them to keep the forward facing.  lol
I'd better go curl my hair for the party.  We only have an hour until they arrive.  Yikes.  ;-)
