the pirate costume nightmare!!!!

[Dalis]

ok, so I started cutting out her pirate costume early in the morning.. and took a step back and said... I am not going to be able to do it all. I have to cut my losses, so I decided to get her a costume. Spent almost 2 hrs looking for a NON-slut pirate costume on a size 6.... and apparently that is an almost impossible mission. I finally got one and brought it home. As soon as she comes home from school, I tell her that I didn't have enough time to make her one and that I got her one. Well, she looks at it and starts crying! She hates it! So, I get her in my car and drive to the neighbor up the street that had just offered at the bus stop her daughter's pirate costume. We get it... she tries it and she doesn't like it!!!!!! By this time I am so upset, because she is pissed and I am tired... I have been working on this birthday 3 days STRAIGHT! I am about to call it quits.

So dad comes and Bianca is crying, I am loosing it . We go eat and stop at TArget and she picks this horrible cheapy looking BOY pirate costume for a whooping $30!!!! Of course I should have known... because in the morning when I was looking for pirate costumes there were TONS of boy ones just like that one for like $10 every where!!!! Now it's too late, because this party is tomorrow and she has figure skating in the morning! I am too old for this.

Did I mention that my first batch of cupcakes never made it to the oven, because the butter curdle when I put the sugar!!!!! So now I have no chocolate cupcakes for my girl-friends party tomorrow night! I am so sorry, but they are going to have to be happy with some Target cupcakes and I will write them an IOU.

Now I am off to sleep because tomorrow I still need to do the bathroom downstairs and do the floors! I am so freaking tired!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh man... what a day. You poor thing!

[sarahbhb]

Oh, Dalis, I'm so sorry you had such a rough day. As far as the cupcakes go, don't stress out over them at all and I'm pretty sure the rest of the ladies will feel the same way!

Hopefully tomorrow goes more smoothly. Can't wait to meet you IRL, seems like I've known you forever online.

[Dalis]

I hope I can survive this Sarah and meet you all tomorrow night! I am off to take a shower, bathroom downstairs is clean now.

[shinta]

[Dalis]

(I made grown-ups cupcakes... filled with Brandy).

[staciahall]

Sounds like you need a vacation after all this. At least it's pretty cool that you get to hang out with Sarah after all of it!
