So ladies, tomorrow is THE BIG NIGHT. You know…my big cottage extravaganza! OK, really a potluck with a few other couples but I could not be more excited if I were planning the event of the century. Pathetic really. Shows you how uneventful my life has been recently (that’s another post altogether!).
Problem is, I have done this before – the getting too excited part I mean – and what I have found is that the actual event is usually a let down. I am trying so hard to manage my enthusiasm but I have already packed my kids suitcases (they’re spending the night with my parents) and tried on every combination of outfits I have! I’ll post first thing Monday to let you know how it went.
I was reading the comments and I thought it was funny, albeit a bit disturbing, that I have yet to mention my husband. The truth is, I rarely see him these days. He comes up every weekend but spends much of his time on the golf course or socializing with the many friends we have visiting. I am guilty of this as well but my excuse is that I am usually hard at work or looking after the kids.
Yikes! I just read that and I sound bitter and resentful…didn’t know it was so close to the surface. Truth is, I read Jen’s post 10 Years of Marriage in awe. It reminds me of those romantic days at the beginning of our relationship…
Anyway, enough if this melancholy mood. Off to the dock to share some time with my husband (yup, he’s here) and our pals. Wish me luck tomorrow night!
