My insane life and times filled with teen drama, marital comedy and realizing that 600 miles away from my insane family still isn't far enough!

What Will I Celebrate?
It finally came!!! My Disney party in a box was waiting for me when I got home today! It was big and red and shiny and, and...and let me just say that I have never felt such pressure to have a party in my life!!!
Okay, the Mickey Moms Club people have asked that this party be hosted between March 16th and April 5th. Well, it's March 24th and I have just NOW gotten this kit! Secondly, I really don't have anything "real" to celebrate right now so that means I have to create a reason to celebrate. Should be easy, right?
WRONG!! I could just celebrate my friends. Always a good thing (I have really good friends). We could celebrate Nick getting his first car. But does a 17 year old REALLY want a Walt Disney World themed party complete with Hannah Montana magnets? I don't think so. We could celebrate Spring? It would be nicer if it was actually warm out. Michelle suggested celebrating the closing of the bookstore. How sad and depressing of a party would that be? Even WITH the Hannah Montana magnets! We could celebrate Disney itself - and I could have my "extreme" Disney fan friends over. We could battle for who knows the most useless Disney trivia/info. It could get ugly.
So right now I am just not sure but I have to make a decision FAST! This kit is pretty amazing. It came with party recipes, a Disney Bingo game, coloring kits for the kids, canvas bags with inserts, a vacation planning DVD, a photo album, fortune cookies, balloons, Disney drawings, trivia cards...it quite literally is a party in a box. There is very little that I will have to do to make this all happen.
I just have to let my inner Disney-diva/goddess come out and plan...
Your gentle face and patient smile with sadness we recall, you had a kindly word for each and died beloved by all. The voice is mute and stilled the heart that loved us well and true, ah, bitter was the trail to depart from one so good as you.
You are not forgotten loved one nor will you ever be as long as life and memory last we will remember thee. We miss you now. Our hearts are sore. As time goes by we miss you more, your loving smile, your gentle face. no one can fill your vacant place.

I am a 40 year old mother of two who is still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up! I am a wanna-be author, a homeschool mom, wife, and all around mom-on-the-go who does her best to avoid her crazy, extended family!
