I won!

I love party favors. They make me feel like a movie star with a swag bag. Even if it's full of cheap dollar store toys and bubble gum. Anyway, I won a wooden puzzle from ImagiPLAY at the Mommies United Launch Party! I can't wait to see what kind it is, and my kids are going to enjoy it for sure.

Midnight Tea, anyone?

After a full day of babysitting, afterschool care, and youth group, I really could use a cup of tea! That's only one reason why I'm so happy today is tea party day. The other? Well, I get to break out my pretty china! Isn't it a lovely set? It's definitely not something I use everyday- especially not with my kiddies, but I really like using delicate china.
You'll have to excuse the dust on the sugar bowl; I didn't wash it because I'm not using it! I didn't mention anything about using EVERY piece, did I? I am using the pot, cup and saucer though, and isn't my everyday scratched flatware matched beautifully with my set? One day, I'll have to get gold flatware to match the rims.
I have to say thank you to my MIL, who left the set in my care until my SIL gets married? I would be happy to adopt it should she decide not to take it.
Oh, and in case you're wondering, I am drinking Vanilla Chai with sugar and 2% milk. Mommy hips and half and half like each other a little too much. Of course there will be a fine selection of the most exquisite Oreos to nibble on. And yes, my tablecloth is wrinkled, who irons a tablecloth? A woman who doesn't have anything else better to do?

It's a Party!!!

Hey, I'm only a day behind!!! Okay, so I've got to tell you about the latest blog party I'm involved in. It's being co-ordinated by Mommies United, and I love that it's Mommies! Who else understands that everything can come to a screeching halt because someone needs to go potty NOW, or that it is acceptable to dance and sing the "Poo-Poo" song in Target's bathroom because that same someone made a deposit?
They've got tons of great prizes, and I want them all, but I picked my top four!

1- Being of long torso and stretch marks, I would LOVE to win a Blush topless undershirt!

2- Again, I need these! Hip-T makes one that has lace on it. My sweet princess is always kind enough to tell me when my "panties are showing!" Especially in the middle of a crowded store.

3- A hoodie AND a tote??? Those are my two favorite things!! Thank you, Positive Chicks! A bag to carry stuff in and something to hid my extra, um, baggage...

4- And in case you think I'm ignoring my four sweeties, a gift certificate from bitty braille! It's fabulous that they are supporting the American Foundation for the Blind.

So now in true mommy party fashion, I will come up with some ridiculous party games that no child will want to play, but adults will be amused while watching others make a fool out of themselves!

Game Number 1-

What is the most embarrassing thing that you've ever done? Anonymous posts are fine!
I'll go first- Let me set the stage, Easter morning, sunrise service, it's wet outside, a little muddy. I'm wearing the cutest heeled sandals and carrying an infant in a carrier. Oh yeah, it's happening. The service has already started and it's quiet as we trudge through the wet grass to find a seat. My oh so cute heels get caught, and down I go, but wait! As I'm falling a lovely word escapes my lips. "Sh*t!" The baby is unharmed, and not too many people turn around. Later, during the breakfast, someone sitting on the front row comes up to me and says, "Are you okay? I heard what you said." AAAGGGHHH!!!! Well, we still go there, but I don't wear heels to sunrise service anymore.

All right, spill the beans! Share your humiliation. Remember what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger, and makes us laugh at your expense.
