I think it is safe to say I took on too much (unknowingly) when I declared I wanted to host a baby shower for my sister-in-law with my mother-in-law and then opened escrow on a home. I figured that I am a woman of the 21st century. I can move into a house, upgrade the entire rental side and tape (someday sew) baby shower signs and bake cupcakes by candlelight.
Today is the baby shower, and I can't thank my mother in law enough for picking up my slack. She is a party planning guru like myself, but I just did not cut it this time with the house coming together and the extreme work it requires. Tomorrow our renters are moving in, so everything had to be done today that I was going to do, as everyone knows parties of any kind require prep, logistics, and sometimes that's doubled when they feed into a birthday tapas-red wine tasting party for your husband :)
It is going to be a long, but very fun and very rewarding day. I'd like to confess that I think I have the best mother-in-law EVER and I hope she knows how much we love her!
