Okay, it's 6:30 and all but one person is here for Betsy's party. 4 girls and 2 guys....waiting on one more guy. I really hope her party is a success. I get nervous for her, almost like it's my party. I remember being so shy in school....painfully so. I couldn't stand talking in front of people, and I always worried what others would think. I am so glad that Betsy isn't that way. She's pretty much a "take it or leave it" kind of gal. They are going to go out on the porch when the straggler gets here....and then I will order the pizza. What a good mom I am! LOL....
Wee one is spending the night at my mom's, so as not to "bother" the partygoers. John is holed up in the bedroom, watching a movie with the dog. He's not the sociable, friendly dad....he's more of the quiet "I can't handle all these teens" type. So, that leaves the chaperoning to me. Gee, thanks honey.
I woke up this morning and turned over, only to pull my back. Dagnabbit it hurts! This is the first time I have sat down all day, as the only time it doesn't hurt is when I'm standing. I took a hot shower, rubbed icy hot on it....and now it's numb. I tell ya, growing old is painful!
I ended up making an ice cream cake for Bets. Chocolate with B&J peanut butter cup ice cream in between, vanilla frosting and pb cups for decoration. It looks pretty darn good! I'll have to try to sneak a piece before it gets devoured.
Well, I can concentrate no more, as this music is boring a hole into my brain....technically, I don't think you can call it music...more like screaming, gutteral noises with bass and drums thrown in. Wish me luck!

I hope she has a wonderful birthday. You are a wonderful Mom for doing all this. How long will it last? Sorry to hear about your back. I have occasional problems and what I have found that helps the most is putting ice on it. I just stick an ice pack on my back and let it go numb. I do this off and on all day long and usually it gets better quicker. We've had some serious back problems in this household and I'm pretty certain that you should stay away from heat (at least initially). Feel better soon!
You are such a good mom Sherry.I'm sure the party will go great.If it were my hubby,he would be out there frolicking with the kids and embarassing them do death.Have fun and take a muscle relaxer.KIM
I hope it turns out to be a success!! I can remember my first "party"-- all of the girls ended up crying over the boys--LOL!! Let me know how it goes! Love, Kim :o)
I pity you, I truly do!! I hope this party at least ends a bit early, but I know that is just being overly hopeful! Good for Betsy not being shy and being the sort of woman she is! Maybe by the time Bethany is her age, she will also come out of her shell more. And, a big (((((Sherry)))) for your aching back! Take it easy and put those earplugs in!
Hugs and love, LIsa

Hope she has a great time with all her friends and I hope your back feels better. Maybe when they all leave you can sit ina hot tub. Or John can give you a a back rub! LOLOL Ok maybe just the bath.
My husband is the same way when it comes to the kids friends being over...he's not much of a teen socializer that's left up to me which I don't mind anyway I enjoy the kids...
AWEEEEEEEEEEEE I wish I was there to hang with you..sounds like so much fun. You are a good mommy. My hub would be the same way. Well, he would hide at first and then he would come out. Or just hide. LOL I don't even know what he would do anymore. LOL Can't wait to see the pictures.
