Baby Shower Fiasco..or not??

                           

Ok, I'm back with an update on the later part of the day..... At about 2:00 my neighbor came down with about 2 dozen pieces of chicken (no lie) and asked me if I could do her a favor and fry all of them for her..... Okkk what was I going to say? I couldn't possibly say no. Even though I didn't feel like standing in front of my stove which was the reason I didn't cook for myself today lol.... So I said fine. I seasoned the meat and put it in the fridge until 6:00pm. The party wasn't starting till 8:00pm. Time flew , I wasn't doing much in between that time. Just watching television and sitting in front of the computer.

6:00 pm came and I started frying. Ughhhh let's just say that it took forever. Finally about an hr and a grease covered stove later I was done. I brought it upstairs and used that opportunity to let her know that I was probably not going to come up for the party , because I was unable to get a gift right now. I wanted to feel her out and see what she would say. Ummmm she just said Ok... lol I was kind of happy that it wasn't made a big deal but also shocked at her reaction. I guess I wasn't going to be missed lol...

 

Ben came home from work at about 9:30. Not too long after I get a knock on my door. It is my neighbor's daughter (the one who the baby shower is for) . She wants to know why I am not upstairs. I tell her my reason. She looks at me like if I am crazy. She tells me that it doesn't matter about the gift. She wants me to go. I again told her I did not feel comfortable showing up empty handed. She goes on to tell me "You did the Chicken for us , you helped us out , You don't need to give me a gift!..... What was I going to do ?? Sit there and go back and forth with her. Finally I told her "Ok.. I'll go. She left.

My daughter turns to me and says" I told you Mommy the Chicken was a good gift".. Lol I guess it was..

 

 

So I took a shower , got dressed and went to the party. It was nice. The decorations were really cute! I felt kind of bad because a lot of people didn't show. My friend made a lot of food and bought a huge cake! Her daughter did receive a couple of gifts, mostly clothes,..She did get a bottle sterilizer, a bottle warmer, and bottles. Now I know what to get her :)

They cut the cake it was really good. It had Strawberries in the middle. After that I helped my friend clean up her kitchen and that was the end of that!

I came downstairs and this is where I am at now.

Well there you have it... I ended up going...By the thank you for the ideas on gifts... I couldnt offer my child care services because the mother to be lives in Georgia but that was a good one!

Well it's time for me to vamoose..time for me to hit the bed.. lol

Goodnight all and Take Care.......
