How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

He Deserved It

in Everyday on

I love my Hubby, but I just gave him the finger.

We are getting ready for my baby’s birthday party.  This should be easy. Taking 15 girls out for supper and then back to our house for ice-cream cake, present opening, fancy nail painting and dancing dancing dancing.  So why the stress!

Uh. Cat room must be cleaned, house must be vacuumed.  Kitchen crap magent counter must be de-crapified. Loot bags finished, dance floor prepared and on it on it goes.  I have become the Party Mama from hell.  (without all the money and the pony rides) Add to this that dear Hubby is also Sicko Hubby.  He has the sniffles.  When the big man gets sick, he goes down hard.

While we cleaned, I heard the mumbling under his breath…and the mumbling that was not so much under his breath.  It was something very much like “This is the last Birthday Party we are ever having in this house…this is why we take these parties somewhere else!”  Hmph.

It’s just a little cleaning!  You did not marry me for my cleaning skills so there are times in our marriage when you just gotta suck it up babe!  We mumbled at each other for a bit and then I stomped my feet and gave him the finger behind his back.  Not mature, but it did make me feel better.

Anyone who tells you preparing for a little girls birthday party is not stressful is lying through their teeth.

Got to go and get my party on.  Wish me luck!

    2. Just get a dog with roundworms. Your house will be spotless, and your mind will be shot…

      Hey, remember me? I stalk you?

      I am seriously thinking of moving to a cold part of Canada, for so many reasons.

      Are we getting together for turkey this year?

    4. good luck! although, i have to admit that we quit having house parties a year ago. 🙂 we think it’s totally worth it to go elsewhere.

    7. Bet your party turned out fantastically well!

      I know how stressful preparing for a party can be… that’s why I told my son that for his next birthday (6th), we’re not having a party anymore, but instead will just be taking a few select friends of his to Disneyland for the day… and that’s it. 🙂

    11. Don’t think for a minute that cold of his made him not notice the gesture behind his back; he’ll hold you to it later. Men have a way of “knowing”.

    14. ROTFLMAO!! do you think he felt the wind whoooosh by his head from the flipped bird? 😀

      Hope the party ROCKED!

      Life… is but memories.

      Why is that so hard for people to remember to participate in the making sometimes?
