Man am I bad at keeping up with these things!

So yeah... I wrote my last post fully expecting to post the next day about how the day went. Here it is... 2 weeks later.. and I am just now getting around to it. GO ME!

Anyway, so I got to my friend's party a little later than expected. When I arrived they were loading up the wagon for a hay ride. They asked if I wanted to go, so I ran over with Alena because I figured she'd like to go. They were using 3 haybales as steps to get onto the wagon, and then you had to duck under some ropes in the door, so I had to put Alena in the wagon first so that I could get in. She did NOT like that. She screamed like crazy and then when I got onto the wagon she had a death grip on me! So we sat down, Alena still screaming and clinging to me with her life.. haha. She calmed down when she noticed 2 dogs running around and went "PUPPY!! WOOF!" After that she was fine and we had a good ride... until it came time to get off of the wagon. Again, I had to put her down, and we had a complete re-enactment of the earlier scene.. haha.

So anyway, the party was good. I talked to some people I haven't seen in a while, Alena got to pet the horses and eat veal (I think it was veal anyways), and she pretty much ran around with the kids, chased the dogs, and had a good time.

Next we headed to mom's party location to help decorate. When we got there they were already decorated! So I just hung around for an hour and a half, greeting people, until my mom came. She cried. haha. She said she had no idea and thought no one was doing anything special, up until she saw my sister's truck in the parking lot! That kind of gave it away.. haha. The party was a good time, though.

At the end of the party, mom agreed to take Alena home with her so that I could go out. So, off I went to my friend's going away party. It was outside and it was cold! We all huddled around by the fire for a while, and then as people started leaving, a few of us decided to head down to the bar. That wasn't very exciting. There was hardly anyone out, but I didn't care because it was just nice to get out of my house for once!

So that was my eventful saturday. All in all it was a good day. I saw a LOT of people I haven't seen in forever and I got to eat cake! :)

I'm up too late.

So it's 12:38 AM and I'm writing my first blog. It's October 7th, so it's my mom's 50th birthday.. happy birthday mom! I have a big day tomorrow (today), and really should be getting some good sleep in. So what do I do? I stay up all hours of the night, as usual, cause I'm good like that. Staying up this late wouldn't be much of a problem if I didn't have a 1-year-old who likes to wake up earlier than noon.

Anyway, tomorrow should be fun and I'm excited. Some friends are up from New Orleans (they live here, but have been down there helping rebuild for almost a year). They're throwing their annual party at their house (Octoberfest), so I'm looking forward to seeing a bunch of people I haven't seen in a while, and I'm sure they all want to see Alena (my daughter). Last time I showed up without her they read me the riot act.. haha j/k.

We're also having a surprise birthday party for my mom. She's in the next room so hopefully she doesn't walk in as I'm writing this. It's just going to be a small party, but it'll be special. My sister did most of the work on it, but I'm going to go help decorate tomorrow (today). It should be fun, and I don't think mom has a clue we're doing this.

Then after mom's party I'm either going to go back to my friend's party, or I'm going to go to another friend's going away party. There is just tooooo much going on tomorrow (today). It's crazy. It seems like nothing ever goes on around here... and then BAM.. everything happens in the same weekend. Why the events couldn't have been spaced out a little, I will never know.

On top of that, another friend of mine is having a bridal shower, which I will be unable to attend, and yet another friend is coming up from Delaware with my favorite 2 little boys (her sons). Man do I miss them.

Well.. I suppose I should quit rambling get my butt to bed. I'll post more about how my weekend went, and I'll try to do it when I'm not so tired and incoherant.

Thanks for reading.. haha.

April :)
