On Monday Hollace turns 7. Where does the time go? Since that is Monday (a gym day, oh the horrors) we celebrated this weekend.
On Saturday me and Hollace headed out to Build a Bear for our annual trek to get an over priced stuffed animal. As per usual, she got a horse, not a bear, then to play in the castle in the mall. We then drove to the other mall for our lunch at Rain Forrest Cafe.
Today was the big party. I had 20 girls invited. Because it was Super Bowl Sunday, only 14 could come. Two of them had to leave an hour early for a Super Bowl Party. As usual, the party was at Art Works. All the girls had a good time as far as I could tell. Hollace raked in the loot including a Hello Kitty toaster! One of the little girl’s mom had asked on our answering machine when RSVPing, what Hollace would like. I didn’t call her back feeling kind of weird returning a phone call telling them what to buy my daughter. That mom who was black stayed at the party with an older eastern European woman who also acted like the mom. I couldn’t figure them out. And guess what she finally decided on getting Hollace for a gift since I didn’t call back with suggestions…$20. I guess she really needed the suggestion LOL
The only other adults that hung around the party besides RAW was Deb, Hollace’s godmother who as usual took notes on gifts for us. And Sharon and Barb and her husband who I think is forced to attend these things against his will.
I know this is Art Works and Barb and Sharon’s kids are Art works but I was hoping their older kids wouldn’t come. Barb’s poor husband could of stayed home with the over bearing Marcus. And Gabby who also is overbearing was ok. They did however sit in the middle of the table taking up spots for the real guest eating all the food and Marcus was driving me nuts begging me for a goodie bag before I knew if I had enough.
We came home and I went at it making cupcakes for Hollace’s class tomorrow. I am beat, it is time to go to bed and recooperate on Monday.
On Monday, Hollace’s actual birthday I will finally try and get to a Weight Watchers meeting. I tried last week but I couldn’t get the times straight. The Monday meeting is 6pm and 7:30. Somehow I turned into either a 6:30 or 7pm meeting. I drove out there early for the 7pm meeting then realized it was 7:30 and newbies spend an additional 30 minutes which would of put me back home after Hollace went to bed and that was the night she lost her first tooth. I didn’t want to miss that.
On Friday I went to my annual Gyn checkup. I guess I gained 30 lbs in the last year. She is testing my thyroid but I know it is all me and my crappy eating thing that is too blame.
