Birthday Party Excitement

The big day was a month away and Aliyah could not stop talking about her party and party plans. Funny because I never knew we where having a party. You would've thought she was planning a wedding the way she had notes and party planning meetings. Well as the day grew closer and all the party locations she wanted her father and I to rent where unavailable my home became the target. So not only did Aliyah recruit her friends to help in convincing me that it would just be a small gathering she convinced her brother and my boyfriend to allow this event to come into my private sanctuary I call home. You must understand in the years prior my children had convinced me of allowing two other house birthday parties. First, Aliyah's 12th birthday party in which she invited 20 kids oh so I thought. I recruited my friends to chaperon and we agreed. Within 30 minutes of the party starting I had not 20 not 30 not 40 but 50 kids on the 3rd floor of our home. Yes, 50 preteens......Now that was not the worse. Then there was my son J's 15th Birthday Party where he asked to just do pizza, games and movies with 8 - 10 friends. Well 8-10 friends I thought where going to be the guys...NOPE... 8-10 meant 6 guys and 4 girls .. 2 guys where without girlfriends at the time of this event. Needless to say I broke the party up rather quickly and it resulted in me enjoying a nice bottle of Merlot once the house was cleared out....
