Now the count is up to 53 and raising! Forget the steaks that we were planning to have...burgers!
All my son's softball team are coming now with their wives and girlfriends...and their kids!
Poor Marta, this happens every time, we love to throw parties, but it seems it always gets out of hand.
Everyone is going to stay outside, I don't give a d*mn if it is pouring rain and lightning!
Lately, between all the birthdays, graduations, anniversaries and all...we have put out at least $3,500.00 BUCKS!
And now, my lovely daughter in law (I do love her, yeah) is emailing me and putting a list together of what we need and who is expected to bring/get it. and guess what our name appears 75% of the time!
Going crazy here! And getting a little upset....:mad::eek::rolleyes::) Everyone thinks I am their banker. I don't mind parties, we enjoy them with family and friends...but come on now! This is going to run me another $6-650.00 craziness ! Not to mention that we will have to have the cleaning people come an extra day this week!
Had to vent!
