Tea Party

Hi! How are you?  I am looking forward to the weekend though I am going to steer clear of the city.  We are expecting over a million visitors to the city this weekend because of the Super Bowl.  My husband who normally works in the city got permission to work from home tomorrow, so that he wouldn't have to combat the traffic which is already crazy without the addition of all the shenanigans from the events surrounding the Super Bowl.  Today I threw the girls a tea party.  They were so excited when they got home from school and saw the table decorated.  I laid out dresses for them and they changed their clothes, brushed their hair and got their dolls ready.  My husbands colleague brought us a box of Macrons from Laduree in Paris, I set out a bowl of strawberries, a plate of hummus and carrots and a pot of hot cocoa.  Seriously, it took like 5 minutes to dress the table.  It was that simple; however, it meant the world to the girls.  Then we sat down and talked about their day at school.  I think sometimes we think we need to do really fancy things for our kids, but sometimes it is just the simplest of actions that make the biggest impact.  They said it was the best day ever and you know what it made my day too as I was having a little pity party because I am going to need an MRI on my shoulder and possibly surgery.  The doctor feels like I should have made greater progress on gaining my mobility back.  I still can't lift my arm all the way back over my head and forget about bringing it back behind my back.  I am so frustrated.  It just plain sucks.  Well, I need to run because I need to take my son to the store to by a birthday present for his friends birthday party this weekend.  Have a great weekend!
