MedicMom Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I have twelve people coming over for dinner and a movie in two hours, including my boss. My husband has my dining room torn apart because for some unknown reason he decided today was the perfect day to get rid of our boiler, which is the only source of heat we have, and install a pellet stove in the dining room. Except it isn't working and the place he bought it is closed for the weekend. My three year old with zero interest in potty training just announced that he needed to wear big boy underpants and use the potty right now this afternoon. And my boss just texted to see if he can bring two other supervisors. I am glad I have a sense of humor.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I'm always so impressed by people who actually entertain. Especially if they can manage to be and have an authentic life all the while. Bring on the potty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring on the potty! I'm MONSTER impressed! I don't know how people do it. We're having our God daughter who's coming from college over for Thanksgiving and I'm already freaking out. I'm like, "Wait. I have to clean, cook, bake, fix up the guest room?! How am I going to do all of that?!" Alley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmama Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Wow. That is bad! I felt obliged to host a baby shower for my niece this summer, and it almost killed and bankrupted me. I hope to never entertain or host anything ever again. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belacqua Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Yikes...sounds like an episode of Bewitched! I don't suppose you have an Aunt Clara who is likely to disrupt dinner...? I admire your aplomb. I'd probably be huddled in a corner with a blanket over my head mumbling something about taking them to Chipotle.

MedicMom Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 Did I mention I got off a 24 hour shift at 8 am this morning? Aforementioned husband had promised to clean the house, but he forgot and went and bought the pellet stove and a new rifle instead. Because, after all, hunting season starts next month. And now my sister just called to say she and her husband made a quick trip into town and maybe possibly she could use my guest room tonight? I hope all my guests bring wine.

MedicMom Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 Don't be too impressed. I just made an executive discussion that I'm ordering pizza and premade salad. My husband decided to take a nap and my son is running around naked peeing on the bathroom floor... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, sister, you can stay if you promise to help me pull this thing off. Oh and dh? Um, honey, if you can buy a new rifle, then I'm going to buy a costco sandwich and veggie tray and call it good.
