I planned.
I shopped.
I planned some more.
I baked.
I decorated.
I stressed.
I shopped some more.
I stressed even more than I shopped.
And for what?
Jake's 10th Wii Birthday Party. With 18 ten year old boys. In my house.
Did I mention that I stressed? I even prayed a little.
I also schemed how to make a break for it and escape, in the event I needed to.
Despite my poster board filled brackets, and individual medals I had for the winners ... there was no tournament.
Why you ask?
Because there was a football game going on in my back yard.
That's right. A football game. And every single child chose to play football rather than play the Wii. Or even step inside the house for that matter.
So ... all my decorating. Planning. Stressing. Shopping. Baking. And Scheming ... was for nothing.
Probably because I did that little bit of praying.
My prayer was answered, because a smile never left the face of any child, fun was had by all, not one argument, not one bit of misbehavior ... and the birthday boy informed me that was the BEST PARTY EVER.
And even though not one picture was taken (can you say "LOSER MOM"?) I suppose that's a Wii Party we'll never forget, eh?
So, there ya have it. I was hoping I could slide by without anyone noticing or remembering, but as per Cindy's request, I knew I had to fess up and fill you all in.
Are you happy now?
