Almost Party Time!

My house is ready for the party tonight.  The decorations are hung and the food is prepared.  Unfortunately, guests are calling to cancel, which is not unusual for a party I throw.  The kids will have fun, though, and that is really all that matters.

I rearranged the furniture in my living room to make more room, and I wish I could leave it like this permanently.  But, there is no way to make the new arrangement work because of my television.  It's a huge console thing that must be up against a wall, and right now, I have my couch sitting in front of it. Days like today I wish my apartment was bigger, but normally, we are comfortable here.  I don't have to search Orchid Island Realty for a bigger place to live.  The kids rooms are a decent size, and my bedroom is huge.  I love our walk in closets and having two bathrooms.  Plus, I only pay a little over $500 every month to live here, which fits in nicely with my budget.  Of course, most months I am late paying my rent and get hit with a $50 late fee, but even with that, I make it.

Yesterday I woke up and I was feeling kind of icky.  I was losing my voice, and my chest and head hurt.  When I finally went to bed last night, my stomach didn't feel too well either.  This morning, my voice is still a little funky, and I have a killer headache, but I am determined to have a good time tonight.  After everyone leaves, I am going to take some nyquil and sleep until Monday. Or maybe until Tuesday. Or Wednesday.
