I am not a party planner.

Grayson's birthday party is on Saturday. If there is one thing I have learned about the process of planning a birthday party, it's that I am NOT cut out to be a party planner. Nope. Not at all. Here are some other things I have learned along the way:

• I am a huge scatterbrain. I have about 10 projects started and only 2 things complete. 
• Modge Podge is a pretty fun invention. I'd never used it before until a couple weeks ago. It's great!
• DIY-ing can still be expensive. Michael's & Hob Lob will steal your money right out of your wallet!
• Speaking of Hobby Lobby, am I the only one that almost always has to buy a random treat (ie: circus peanuts or poppycock) when I am in the check out line? 
• Hot glue is a dangerous, dangerous thing. I should know this since I used it all.the.time in the classroom...but, alas, I forgot. I have burned myself approximately 14 times this week. 
• Monogrammed sugar cookies are SO cute! However, I will have to use G's future college tuition to buy them. Note to self: become a baker.
• Apparently I like to add more stress to situations. For example, I thought this week would be the perfect time to finally make drop-cloth curtains for our big kitchen window. Um, those took 3 hours on Sunday. That also meant getting Ben to hang a curtain rod and hooks on each side of the window. As if we have nothing else to do!
• lastly, I need to win the lottery so I can hire a party planner. the end.
