My Therapy: Not so Great Party Update!

Therapy Disclaimer

I am a reluctant stay at home mom nearing the end of my term. I am a recovering "Suzy Homemaker". I curse. I say what's on my mind. I hope that I say things that other people are thinking, just don't have the guts to say. I hope to make people laugh at or with me. I hope not to offend too many people, but know there have been a few and am quite certain there will be several more.

So, if you are looking for a dysfunctional view on mothering, being a woman , and life- you may not be disappointed here. If you are still Suzy Homemaker and think that everyone should be, I might just make you want to vomit.

It's taking me a while to gather my thoughts and compile my "after party" post. A few reasons...

*** I had a record 13 cancellations the day of the party!!! So, that was a total bummer. I've become quite paranoid schizophrenic, thinking that "E-vite" has something against me and must have put a footnote at the bottom telling everyone NOT to come because I'm a loser!

*** I was embarassed that there weren't many people in attendance and am sick of people not revolving their lives around me- is that so hard?. Also because of my 'people pleasing' tendencies and I wanted those who came dressed up to not feel like a bunch of dorks! I hope they all know that they are now all my very best friends!!!

***My 'go to' drunk party pal "T" came down sick and stayed home. So I want everyone to gather their ~~voodoo dolls and stick a pin in her neck~~ well wishes that she's feeling better! I love her dearly, but frankly am disappointed and was looking forward to exploiting her drunk ass on this blog and she totally let me down. If she's reading, I would like a doctor's note for her absence.

***The fruity drinks were flowing freely and I've been recovering. I'm pretty sure that the 8 people here had fun!

***I dropped the ball on the photography front. I will blame that on the fruity drinks, and am waiting for my other guests to send me their pictures...

These are a few of the ones I actually took...

This is "J"- I awarded him ~~biggest balls~~ 'best dressed'... he stopped by the grocery store before coming to our house and had people sneaking pictures of him on their cell phones! You got to love a man that can wear an afro!!!

Then there's my ~~skinny bitch~~ baby sister. When everyone was cancelling on me, I threatened her with bodily harm if she did not show up- I could totally take her skinny ass and she knows it! Thanks little sis for heeding my warning and rocking the karaoke!

Queen-Size funny bone said...: I stopped entertaining for lots of people years ago for the exact reason of inconsideate people. Instead I invite a select few that I can count on. as long as you had fun.; September 8, 2008 at 3:57 PM
jill jill bo bill said...: I soooo should've come. And I would've flown fully dressed in my 70's garb and totally played it off. Until I fell off my platforms and broke my ankle then I would cry out, "Damn Tena and her 70's party!" Then everyone would know I was just acting....see, I was really pumped to come. I had this scenario playing in my head all weekend.

And, why,yes I have become very popular in just 3 days...; September 8, 2008 at 4:04 PM

Tiffany said...: Damn I love anything where I get to dress up. I would have loved to been there. Also why I love haloween. It's OK to dress retarded on that day. LOL Now where are the pics of you???; September 8, 2008 at 4:41 PM
amelia bedelia said...: damn those skinny little sisters!! I have one too. Ok, where's the picture of you!; September 8, 2008 at 5:01 PM
Unknown said...: Oh, I'm sorry that you had so many cancellations! I think small gatherings can be a lot more fun though, because you can really talk & hang out--not as much going on. I hope the fruity drinks were good at least! :)

The Mom Jen said...: GRR, curse those cancellers!

I wanna see YOU at the party!; September 8, 2008 at 8:49 PM
Deb said...: Stinky people that cancel. Yes, I know that wasn't a sentence, but I don't care. People suck sometimes. I totally would have come, and would have loved to indulge in fruity drinks. Plus, I could have drug Jill around with her broken ankle.; September 9, 2008 at 3:17 AM
Terri said...: and there's that fantastic disco ball in the last picture! Looks like a great time, wish I could have been there to laugh at all your crazy drunk 70's wannabes! hehe; September 9, 2008 at 5:28 AM
Laural Out Loud said...: I hate planning a big shindig, only to have most of the people that RSVPd not show up! At least they called to cancel, but still, I understand your disappointment. Looks like you managed to still have fun, though!; September 12, 2008 at 8:20 AM
McMommy said...: The next time you have a party, let me know so I can crash. Also, please make sure your sis will be there.
I want to corner her and demand she tells me how she gets her arms so nicely toned without looking manly (*ahem* Kelly Ripa!!); September 14, 2008 at 5:34 PM
