Pregnancy brain is in full effect, let me tell you! Not only is it making me mix up my words in the simplest of sentences, but I am fully blaming it for thinking that throwing this little crawfish boil a mere three weeks before my due date, was a good idea in the first place.
This "little" party that we had dreamed of planning, is turning out to be much bigger than we had expected! Although Mark invited everyone that he did because he wanted them to come, he was positive that certain people wouldn't be able to make it...well, I have received their RSVP's and they are coming! We are so excited but I am starting to get a little stressed out. I thought that I was really on top of it all because I had already ordered the bibs, cups, koozies, etc. I even have all of Mark and Trent's presents already. I initially thought that the only things left to do for the party was to clean the house and buy the good for the boil but I am realizing that I was mistaken! There is a lot that goes into a crawfish boil!
Because we won't be in town the weekend before the party, we have to get everything down these next two weekends. Unfortunately, however, many of the things that have to be done, cannot be completed until the week of the party which means that I am going to be running around like crazy. I showed Mark the list of things we have to do before the party and I believe he said something about most of the things on the list being my responsibility. I am assuming that he meant that I was in charge of most of the things because they have to do with cleaning but if I do all of the tasks on my list having to do with cleaning, I will go into full blown labor! My to do list consists of everything from cleaning the blinds to bleaching the grout in the kitchen because Trent's spilled chocolate milk stains are driving me nuts!!
Anyhow, thank goodness I am the organized person that I am and I have made a schedule laying out when everything will get done. Most importantly however, my parents are coming up early to help me out! Without them, I am sure I would be lost. And unlike last year when I chose to make the cake and cupcake myself, this year, I have opted to have all of that made!
To top it off, these last few days I have felt like I was going crazy because it has been sounding like Trent is saying two four letter words that he is not supposed to be saying at all. I was positive that he was saying "sit"and "frog"but it sounded like the "s" and "f" word. He also points at every single clock that he sees and screams "cock" at the top of his lungs. It is mortifying. He did it today at my old law office and at the rental company place. At least it is obvious what he is referring to when he says that word and it's even obvious when he is saying "shit" because he sits down every time he says it. I am, however, at a loss for the "f" word. I swear, I have never slipped and said that word in front of him...not even once. I am trying not to draw attention to it because I don't want him to say it even more, but it is so embarrassing. Being the boy that he is, he also feels the need to announce, at the top of his lungs, either when he has farted or when he has to fart. It typically sounds like this, "Mama, mama....I farrrrrteeeed!" Unfortunately, I know that this is just the beginning of the things he will say that will embarrass the living heck out of me!
On another note, like I put on Facebook, if you have received an invite to the party, please RSVP one week earlier than noted on the invite. I didn't realize that the rental company needed a final count so early. Thanks so much.
Here's to hoping that I don't lose my mind before the party :)
Now, if you will excuse me...I have to go pop some Tums like they're chocolate. This kid is going to be one hairy monster like his big brother!
