I Must Be CRAZY and an Update on Life!
But I’m sure you already figured that out! Tomorrow was supposed to be Timmy’s 8th Birthday party. We ordered sunshine for his SURVIVOR party. But it’ll be raining all week. Thursday was supposed to be the rain date for party. Supposed to be 40% showers. So I emailed everyone asking if Sunday would be better, then had to email them back and say, “sorry, but FORGOT my kids have a matinée that day!” Sheesh, my kids as the leads in The Jungle Book. You’d think I’d remember. Truth is, we’ve been really spoiled with carpooling. The last couple of weeks a dad who is helping behind the scenes has been driving our kids!
Back to party. Well, I got to thinking what if people show up anyway to tomorrow’s party, what if those who were looking forward to the party can’t come on Monday. So, I’m having two parties. One for the group tomorrow that can’t make it next Monday and one for Monday which looks sunny and clear. Sure hope someone shows up to that party!
At least the house is clean for tomorrow. We showed our home to a realtor. We built this house twelve years ago when I was pregnant with Joey. It’s been wonderful, but we’ve outgrown it! We’ve thought about moving before, but ten years ago we fell in love with our neighbors. They were 76 years old then and have been like grandparents to our kids. We’ve stayed because of them and still can’t even bring ourselves to seriously consider leaving them. It’s such a hard thing to think about!
Well, back to party planning chaos!

Mary, interesting to read about your road to all those books … and on top of that, you build all the rest of us up! Thanks.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:45 pmI know the feeling on crazy life. I have sort of fallen off of the face of the earth when it comes to keeping up with all of my online pursuits. I hope the party goes well. And the house selling pursuit. How is the real estate market where you are? Here it is really really slow…like molasses!

June 17th, 2008 at 1:29 pmI want to move but I would want to take my next door neighbor with me. She is the best and loves to share her cooking. We live in the house my hubby grew up in and out grew it years ago. But mortgages just do not let up. Alas, some day maybe. Good luck with the showing and selling. And when in all of this are you having time to write?
Two birthday parties . . . that sounds like something I would do, Gina. I’m sure Timmy will enjoy having two!
Your neighbors must be 86 by now, Gina. You have to do what’s best for your family, but I know you will miss living next door to them. Have you already found a house, or are you building one? I hope you’ll live close enough to still be involved in their lives.
