Somehow time slipped away from me and I got way behind in planning a little backyard soiree for E and fellow bloggers Kate and Katie. Mom has summers off and when I emailed her my list of things that still needed to get done in the 1 hour I had post work/pre-party she jumped right in and offered to take over on a few things. She also gave me a little advice on how to calm my nerves.
Me: ok so you're covering: flowers, plates, napkin rings, cucumbers, and ice
Mom: yup. sure am. relax!
Me: i'm pretty wound up. no lie
Mom: i can tell
but STOP
Me: but it's so exciting!
Mom: breathe.
enjoy.
and take a shot.

Wow, your mom's encouraging you to drink at work? Next thing we know, you'll find a flask in your stocking at Christmas ;)
Hahaha, no. She meant I should take one when I got home! (And I already have a flask. Duh. It's paisley.)
Love it! I usually don't start drinking until the party starts, but I do have the bad habit of using liquor to calm the nerves of my co-conspirators ahead of show time.
You sure do...ie Liz pre-pre-thanksgiving party :_
Well, I wasn't going to name names, but some people get more tense than others! And it's rather effective. Like the man says: "Kid tested, mother approved."
