With Big J's birthday only 1 day away, I have a lot of work to do today as I am working tomorrow so won't be able to prepare anything during the day. As it rained all weekend, I also have lots of washing to do today.
* The balloons are inflated (although 1 has popped already - probably the first of many!)
* The cake has been taken to nursery (for him to celebrate with his little friends)
* We have bought another cake for home (after much discussion with Little Z who does not like plain sponge or jam and wanted to get a chocolate one instead of the Thomas the Tank Engine one for that reason, despite it not being her birthday and knowing that Big J would almost certainly prefer the Thomas one to a rather dull looking chocolate one!)
* We have bought the party food (which has filled our fridge to the brim and which we will probably take several days to eat, bearing in mind I am going to attempt to stay within the guidelines of Weightwatchers)
* I have filled a couple of party cups with "lucky bag" type Sweets & Treats, although Big J and Little Z are the only children coming to tea as Big J doesn't really have any friends apart from the children at nursery (I can't exactly invite 50 children to the house!) and the little girl in Little Z's class who we invited (as both Z and J get on really well with her) can't come as she is already going to another child's house for tea!
It does sound like I have done most of the preparation, but I still have to do another load of washing, clear the dining table so all the party food will fit, wrap the presents, write the card, iron my work clothes for the week, make sure Big J has clean ironed clothes for the week (I wouldn't normally bother too much but he is having photos taken this week and so need to make sure he looks presentable!) and get my supply teaching bag ready for the week.
So, if I have all that to do, what am I doing updating my blog?
Good point....
