Is it really Monday?

I am still recovering from my weekend. Had DH's birthday party yesterday with both our families and I have to admit, I am not good at throwing parties. The party itself was fine, but I was so exhausted last night by the time everyone left that I pretty much went to bed. I have to remember to thank my mother yet again for cleaning my kitchen as the party was winding down. I never would have had the energy to do that myself and would have gotten up to a complete mess this morning.
Also, I used my first OPK yesterday. I used a First Response and of course was so confused until I realized I was looking at the results upside down. So much for carefully reading instructions!

Re: Is it really Monday?
Hey cutie! I am probably the only one here that is happy it is Monday. I am off today, but I do have to clean my whole house and get it ready for company tomorrow. So cleaning = no fun, but I guess it is better than being at work.
I'm sure your party went great! Hey, moms don't help clean up unless they want to if it isn't their own house so don't worry about that.
Hi there! What company are you having tomorrow? I do think the party went well, the food was good and everyone had a good time. My nieces and nephews are always entertainment, and my MIL was thanking me for having the party every year for her son, so that part was good. It's just the preparation and making sure everything is done that is tough for me.
Oh, my mom is always good for helping clean up. I wish I was better at helping her, but my SILs are always so quick to help. Usually I wander around her house looking for things to take into the kitchen. How was your weekend? Where did you have to go again? I feel like it was Baltimore? Did I totally make that up?
No you're right I was in Baltimore! It was ehhh. We played on Sat., won, but rained out yesterday. The good news is I got home 5 hours sooner so my H was actually awake and we had time to hang out.
Tomorrow night we are hosting the students that work with us all year, so there will be like 20 some people. It is a BBQ, and last time I checked it is supposed to rain. I wasn't gonna go nuts on the house, but if they are all going to be cooped up in here, then I better clean it up!
I hear ya on the prep stuff being exhausted. I do stuff all at once, then I get back spasms while people are here or at the end of the night while I clean up.
That is an ambitious party you have planned! Good luck cleaning - I hope the rain holds off for you. For me, my legs get so tired from standing all day, making food or running around just making sure everything's going okay. About 8:00 last night, I could barely stand up, my feet and legs were just killing me. I was asking my H last night how my mom has so much energy and I inherited NONE of it. I worry about chasing after a toddler someday!
Hopefully you can get your cleaning done fast and then rest so your back isn't acting up tomorrow!
Yeah my mom is one of those non-stop kind of moms too. I don't know how they do it, maybe it comes with the mom title. One day, we will get transformed!!
Yeah at least I'll have tonight and tomorrow to rest my back before everyone comes over. I am thankful for that.
PS - When I click on your chart, it doesn't show me yours, just some FF random page.
Well I'm cheering for you too love!!
