Then they both cancelled on me. One mom had bronchitis and needed to rest, and the other one couldn't get her little one to go to the car because it was thundering and he was afraid. So she called me, and I told her the other mom couldn't make it....so we chatted over the phone and made the plans. I'm disappointed that we didn't get to meet in person, as I NEVER have ANYONE over here to visit with or serve goodies to, and during the holidays it's fun to visit with friends (or so I've heard, lol). Oh well. I suppose I can look at it this way....my house is clean, I've got an entire plate of cookies that I don't have to share with anyone, as well as a pot of coffee, it's only 10:15 and it looks like I've cleaned all day. *Sigh....still, it would have been fun to entertain this morning.
In any case, we did plan the party and it should be fun for the kids. It will be the last day of school before the winter break, so we could not plan anything but just have them chat and eat and they'd be thrilled. I remember as a kid, being so excited for the class party. Everyone was in a good mood, the teachers were happy....even the class bully was tolerable on that day! Man, it seems like just yesterday when I was looking forward to those parties. And now, I'm at the end of my 12 year run with my kids. Next year wee one will be in 5th grade, and that will be it for the parties. Where does the time go?
Okay, I'm going to run to the store and get the dog's medicine....after that, well, I dont' know what I will do....I've got an entire day of freeeeeeeeeeeedom~! WooHoo! Have a great Friday!

I have been awake since 6am. My house is trashed. I have heart burn. I haven't moved. Except to poor briannas cereal in her bowl. I'm squinting and I have a confused expression on my face thinking that you could have had a coffee clotch in your kitchen while I sat here smelly and lazy all morning. And to top it all off you are planning the biggest party of the year for weeones class. Alrighty Martha.......Youre lucky I love you so much or I would almost hate ya. Enjoy your freedom

People coming to your house and you like it?! Nuh-uh, not me! I would much rather do everything either through email or on the telephone (although I even hate the telephone now!). No people coming to my home thank you very much! I am such a loner aren't I? But, at least you have all those delicious cookies to eat now and your house is spic & span, not to mention the wonderful candle smells! I can smell them from here! :)
Hugs and love, Lisa
Sorry your day didn't turn out as planned. But you got a clean house!! Hope you still enjoyed your day!!!

Hey Sherri- I have been gone from journal land for too long... miss you! Had the flu and then the Thanksgiving thing started and then some of my cleaning helpers freaked out and I had to go get things calmed down and turned around. I hve been playing catch up and wow I missed so much in your journal!! You always have the cutest graphics in your journal! Take care & I should be getting back to my Christmas Cards so I'll catch ya later,
Lisa

I should have asked this before really as I have wondered....what kind of strange American thing is a Room Mother? I'm sure we don't have anything like that over here in sunny England! As we watch quite a bit of American TV I always think American culture is familiar to me & very like my culture....but occasionally I wonder! You Americans do have strange foreign food & practises!!!!! It's been really intriguing reading an everyday American journal finding out the small differences.
Hey dear, I would come over if I were closer. . .we could enjoy some chatting voer some refreshments! We could share. . . LOL Cya, Kris
