I keep having to remind myself that today is Tuesday because of my mom hangover. Yesterday was Memorial Day, and like many we decided it would be nice to have a small BBQ mostly family and a few friends. Of course I spent most of the week prior on Pinterest pinning “cute” appetizers, and “Healthy” side dish options. In between school drop off and pick ups I managed to go to Target 4 times last week, in preparation of a one day event. I managed to throw away 3 huge garbage bags of RANDO crap ..aka TOYS. I was that mean mom who wouldn’t let my kids occupy the spaces I had spent hours on tidying up so my home would not appear to be the disheveled mess it usually is. Why tidy up before parties anyway? We all know our house is gonna look like a bomb went off after everyone leaves! I prepped most of my dishes saturday and sunday so that come Monday I wouldn’t have to do much, but really I was I hoping that by prepping everything before I’d really be able to wear a cute outfit and not be barefoot all day. I did manage to throw on a cute dress, but failed miserably at not being barefoot all  day. I even attempted to charge my camera battery in hopes Id get some cute photos of my food spread at the kids playing for this exact post, but of course I couldn’t find my charger. I have always been so into entertaining, i love everything about it, I love seeing my family get together, I love seeing my friends I don’t get to see often, I love seeing all our kids bonding  and playing together… But for fucks sake the work that goes into the actual festivity is exhausting. The day came and went. Lucy the puppy had a full belly of food left behind from the kids, Bubbles spilled everywhere, my lawn actually has an oval circle in it from the kids riding the dirt bike in circles, I keep finding half full juice boxes in weird places, sink full of dishes, TOYS EVERYWHERE, and I keep walking over my sticky dirty floor. My non alcohol induced hangover is preventing me from eating left overs even though I’m starving. I have Zero motivation today. Im writing this blog outside laying in sun, being grateful for my hangover. Looking at all the random  ride on toys spread all about my yard makes me smile.  I wasn’t even going to blog today, but then I thought about it and changed my mind. I enjoy sharing my life, I enjoy sharing the real moments, and raw feelings that come with it. Even though my BBQ wasn’t “pinterest perfect”, and I didn’t get high res quality photos yesterday, we had a great time spending the day with people we love and appreciate having in our lives.  So here I will sit and day dream until the babies wake up from their naps. The messes can wait.
