HALLLELUJAH! bunko is over!

sweet relief! heavenly day!
AHHHHHHH breathe a huge sigh of relief! i tell you. i could not be more thrilled for something to be over! it was Fabulous! the house wasn't decorated. but it was cleaner than it ever has been lately. thank heavens for sisters and Friends who rescued me. and helped me out a ton! and a hubby that tolerated it, helped out. and went above and beyond!

Special thanks go to-

Janie! who came and helped me mop and keep me on task, knowing how lost i am and understands my total lack of focus. THANK YOU! and i'm glad you could come sub. it was fun.

Maria! for having my 4 bonus kids over all afternoon, it helped a ton that they weren't here bugging me or making messes.

Lindsey! for making the pasta salad that was OH SO GOOD! and bringing the beverages! and for all the help mopping, and chopping the onions that no one ate. you learn something new everyday. and YOU ROCK!~thanks for hooking a girl up , and telling me everything was fabulous! you know just what to tell me, to talk me down.

Jenny! you rock for coming early too! and for subbing, and for scrubbing down my nasty cabinets, that i hadn't gotten to yet. and for tidying the dressing room. and for wrapping the tables with paper, making the dip and slicing the watermelon, and stuffing the candy boxes for me! THANKS for your help.

Ashley! thanks for bringing the ice, i totally spaced getting it earlier! THANKS FOR DOING THAT! and staying late. i feel so lucky you stayed until after 2 am to hang out late at my house!

Brooke! thanks for bringing the table, and chairs. i'll bring them back to your house. we totally spaced sending them back with you! YOU ROCK! thanks for coming , and staying late too!

Tracey! thanks for coming and subbing! it's been so fun getting to know you better.

and last but not least...........
LANCE! who made the hamburger patties, and shucked the corn, and made the root beer. and took our 6 kids plus 2 of Maria's to the drive in alone. and watching both movies! not to mention the fixing of the toilets, and the tile, and the fancy storage room. and for letting me get the cute new sideboard. and everything else you helped with. and dealing pretty well with a crazy wife who can't stay on task for anything, and wastes time doing stuff that doesn't matter. i love you! THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO! YOU ROCK!
