It took me a week to clean up and once while I still found some gold fish "in" the couch, and even in the bed of the cat. For the whole day, my cat was hidding because of too many people. Anyway, any ideas on how I get out of the birthday party for a 6 year old boy? :p Your blog reminded me the last year birthday party for my 5 year old boy. ilinap is right.. too many kids, too many moms or grandmoms.

It's so easy to stay sweet and swear free under the circumstances... hahaha! Great post. Found you over at Surrender Dorothy, hence the references to cussing. Just in case your mom is reading... :) Yeah, I can’t imagine why you would have any desire to cuss. It’s so easy to stay sweet and swear free under the circumstances… hahaha! Great post.

"Birthday cake, the new white meat. It’s whats for dinner." You're brilliant. Even with brain nummage. It seems like your formula is one I can't duplicate, but I bet I could make up my own formula for brain nummage. I'll let ya know! Haha! “Birthday cake, the new white meat.

LOL Ilinap! Cheers to that! See now, my zombie state is absolutely MY fault. I completely put too much in one week. BUT the self run b-day parties are my silent protest against farming out b-day parties to the tune of $400+. However, home or not, I'm not sure there is ANY way to avoid the exhaustion. 16 kids at your house? ACK! I had 10 w/ parents and felt totally over-run. But everyone had fun, the pinata was the most expensive single item, and really my pickled brain was the only downfall of it all. Oh and my ceiling fan almost got its ass kicked when a helium balloon got wrapped up in it. Both the fan and I are recovering however. And thank God birthdays come only once a year. Thanks for the welcome back Corina!

Last year I had 16 4-year olds and their parents and a magician and too many balloon animals to keep up with (and away from the babies not included in that 16 count). I'm exhausted just reading your post. Now mix yourself a Moscow Mule! Exactly why I’m not having birthday parties at my house anymore.
