Twenty Things I've Learned In The Last Week

1. 24 people WILL fit into my Living Room
2. Kids will not stay outside to jump in a bounce house if the temperature is 100 degrees
3. Party City is way too busy to have balloons blown up on a moment's notice.
4. I do know how to find things at Home Depot
5. Even though panels and valances don't match doesn't mean my kitchen will look tacky.
6. New light panels make the kitchen brighter and look cleaner.
7. Teenagers who need money WILL clean the bathroom the right way.
8. And not complain about it.
9. After said teenager cleans the bathroom and makes sure it stays clean until a party, no one at the party will use it.
10. Even after I buy home decor items to make the bathroom look warm and inviting.
11. Don't buy kitchen accessories without first checking to make sure those are really roosters on the curtain panels.
12. Even tho the "roosters" turned out to be vines of flowers on the curtain panels, the deep red and green of the rooster decor still matches
13. Sort of
14. The kitchen counters can be spotless, less cluttered, and saturated in antibacterial cleanser yet sugar ants will still like them.
15. Moving vehicles out of the driveway to allow for guests to park there does not guarantee that they will.
16. It takes longer to decorate for a party then to take said decorations down.
17. When I'm on a deadline, I can get way more done than normal.
18. No matter how much or how little food is bought for a party, there will still be way too much left over.
19. Even when there's no "end" time on the invitations, people will still leave at a decent time.
20. The honored guest can have a complete meltdown an hour before their party but look like they 've been all sunshine and happiness when the actual event begins.

Next time . . . Things I still haven't learned!
