Well I pulled off a surprise party for Angel and my mother. It wasn't easy, Angel kept making plans for the same time. I had to go behind her back and tell others "No she can't". I am exhausted. And their new glasses came in and we had to go pick them up. I got pulled over, doing 52mph in a 40 zone. Thank God I only got a warning. My odometer was reading 80 when I was in park. Chevy's, got to love em! It was a long day and I am not recovered yet. But Angel wasn't expecting a party yet, too much going on. She said she could wait a couple of weeks. She still can have one with her friends at the park. My party was just family and her boyfriend. He did good! He got her 2 books and all the Harry Potter movies. She did a dive hug on him!
My family tried to have a surprise party for me. Some people did not get invited until right before time of the party. I was feeling a little unappreciated, no cake, no presents and no attention. Not even a card. Three days had passed and nothing. I was looking at a cake, small, thinking my grand babies could sing Happy Birthday to me and eat cake. but I was putting it back because it costs so much. When my sweet husband came up behind me and fussed. He said something about me messing up the surprise, He should have just asked, "What are you doing?" Well, I showed them how to have a surprise party. I did give Angel a card with a phone card in it for her birthday, on her birthday! Her birthday landed on Easter and we were so busy and she knew she was having a party in a couple of weeks. My mother was surprised, she thought it was all for Angel.
Now, Easter is over, Angel's surprise party is over... I can put all my energy (not much left) into our Spaghetti supper/ Talent Show this Saturday. It seems like "if it can go wrong, it will go wrong". I pray we have an amp, or we won't have much of a talent show. Still trying to put some of the acts together. and not all my girls are taking rehearsals seriously. Some are getting stage freight. Please pray for all of us. We are trying to raise money to send our Sunday school children to camp. It is only $100 a child this year. The camp runs from July 25-29. The same time as Doc Holliday Seminar, and I want to go so bad! Need money for that too, but I can't have a fund raiser for me... or can I? I glazed a 22" angel, mother of pearl on the wings and fired gold on the belts of her dress. She is one of the door prizes, a bag of Avon, Shealy's Bar B Que gift certificates, a Bible cover, book (from B-L Christian book store), hardware store donated a light and Southern Keepsakes donated a gift card. My girls still need to get out there to a few more places. I hate to say it, but greed is still a part of our little town... one place rather large company was asked, they said if we gave to you, we would have to give to everyone that asks. As a small business owner, I have never turned anyone down. I have given to so many different causes and I am proud to have been a part of them. I have noticed that when I give gift certificates I rarely see them come back. but atleast I contributed. Thank you for your time and God Bless you!
