Katie's Birthday Bash and Kindergarten Fun (or Trauma)??!!

Wow, it's been 5 weeks since it says I last posted. I believe it because the time is passing by without a second to waste. I'll have some more time to post now hopefully, now that Katie has started kindergarten. Today was her first day and I'll write more in depth of what happened as I also want to blog about her birthday party too. I'll have to add pictures another day since it's past midnight and it'll be my 2nd day of waking up at 6:45am to get Katie up and ready and off to school. Usually I'm waking up around 9am, so this is a somewhat of a shock to my body!

One thing I found out about myself is that I am horrible about organizing. I already knew this about myself, but my gosh, I am really bad! I have been planning Katie's party for 3 weeks, and why is it that I was still up till 1am getting things done?? I had so many "to do" lists going, but somehow something did not go right. I spent too much time making those lists, and not organizing my time getting them done. I know many people can't understand why it would take 3 weeks to plan a 5 year old party, but I enjoy it even though it is a lot of hard work. I think it's different if I had a job, otherwise I wouldn't or even couldn't put a lot of time and effort into it, but I have the priviledge of staying home with them, and I want to do whatever it takes to make it special. Speaking of jobs, I take that back....I do have a job. I am fortunate enough to have my business so that I can still purchase things without breaking into our budget. I have made an effort to be responsible for any purchases that aren't necessarily needed. So all the clothes for the kids, eating out, presents for any occasion, and so forth I take care of. So I'm very proud of myself in that I was able to cover all expenses for Katie's party. That for sure eases the stress on Stu. It's also very gratifying for me as well. So, these past couple of weeks have been so hectic with orders that I had to get done, getting the party planned, and getting Katie ready for school. So needless to say, the house looked like a tornado hit it, but Stu is great in helping me clean the house. He is awesome actually. So awesome that he is staying home this Saturday night with the kids so that I can go see Depeche Mode in concert with friends. It's been about 20 years since I saw them last. Scary!!! Gosh, am I that old?? It's so sad that kids in high school now a days have no clue who that is. LOL
Alright, I'd better start heading to bed since I have to be up in 6 hours. Hoping I get the chance to blog about school later this week. It wasn't that bad, however there were a couple of things I wished we didn't have to experience. Lets just say that some parents are rude in the car pool lane and that they need to get a life! With that said...goodnight :)
