Too late to help.

We are in various stages of party prep all over the house, it seems. Somewhere along the line when we were discussing options regarding a "princess party", a vision of a box castle was mentioned. Sometimes I wonder why I mention my visions. My girls now think that a princess party won't even be fun without a giant box castle, even if it is just for decoration, as I've explained.



And because I can't seem to fall asleep amidst so much to do, I decided last night that one solid night of sleep would be important, so I took a sleeping pill. I think it took affect around 7am this morning. Which reminded me of the awesome time I tried to get an epidural, only it was too late, and didn't take affect until AFTER George was born.

Back to castle building, and giant cupcake cake making, and rose barrette finishing, etc., all with the courteous assistance of a sleeping pill.

Oh that is so sad. Maybe have some Coke Zero to give you some extra energy. :)

Can't wait to see the princess castle!

Oh man...I am so sorry. You are such a good mom. I am still trying to get the "mom of little girls" thing down. You always inspire me to try harder. Girlie things don't come to my brain AT ALL. I hope it turns out great. You all deserve to have the best princess party in all of Korea!

I giggled when I read this because I too have had a lot on my mind lately, things to plan, things to make, things to just get done, and last night I also took benedryl to knock me out. I haven't slept in a week, too much to think about! I cannot turn my brain off sometimes. Luckily mine worked when it was supposed to and I woke up refreshed. What a bummer for you!

I once accidentally took a sleeping pill before church on an Easter Sunday. I thought I was taking an Excederin (essential most Sunay mornings). It's really bad to be sleepy when you're supposed to be awake and awake when you're sleepy...nothing seems to go your way.
Can't wait to see the final outcome of the party planning....box castle included!
Once again, you make me glad I have five boys and one girl, and not the reverse...
