Whew! I Survived......

Well....here it is, Monday afternoon....I am beat! After leaving work Friday, I had to drive to pick up 14 year old (J), who lives with his Dad and my oldest son, about 45 miles from me. Oldest son (T) could not make it for the weekend. He has a part time job, football games and friends, so...his weekend was pretty packed, once again, I missed seeing him. After meeting the ex to pick up (J), we had to go to Hell-Mart, for groceries, final preparations for (A)'s party, so...I did not get home until late....The hubby had to work Friday night, so around 11, my neighbor friend from next door, came over....we ended up sharing an entire large bottle of Merlot, she stayed over until 3 a.m...Man, was I tired...woke up a little hung-over...nothing like a red-wine headache..man, I felt like crap...but, what can I say you play..you pay. But, I knew the show must go on...lot's to do for A's party so....Saturday was spent picking up the cake ,decorating, cleaning, etc...
The party was great...not every one I was counting on showed up, but he had a pretty good turn out. Kids started showing up at four, had them until nine p.m...after the party, cake and presents, loaded up the kids and went to play lazer tag...they had a blast! I had fun playing with them as well...man, was it hot in that place. There was absolutely no air what so ever...unless they get some air flow, we won't be going back for a while. Anyway, Maxter...(4 yr old) had so much fun. The lazer tag vest was bigger than he was, but he was adamant that he was a big boy, he was going to do it by himself. I put the vest on him, which probably weighs 6-7 lbs, way too big, down past his knees, but he played, ran and kept it on the entire time. I wished I could have gotten some pictures, but it was too dark in there, if you recall, I need a new camera, so the pictures would have probably been crappy anyway.
After lazer tag, we headed home, dropping kids off along the way. The sleep over that was planned dwindled down to one child, who decided he would rather have (A) sleep over at his house instead, they are neighbors of mine, the parent's were fine with (A) sleeping over there..so, came home, packed A an overnight bag, back to the neighbors, stayed over and visited there for an hour, then home to watch a movie with 14 year old and the hubby.
Sunday was rather uneventful...cooked huge breakfast for everyone, picked up A, spent majority of the day on housework...back to the grindstone today...
I will post some pics from the week-end soon....if anyone could tell me how to set up a flicker account, get it to show on my blog, I would be so grateful...still getting my feet wet with this whole blog thing, lot's I want to do...just don't know how, so tips would be appreciated.
Bye for now...
