Too much hardwood..I really don't want some little kid slipping into the fireplace poker or worse..spraying pee all over the guest toilet.

Laurel is turning six this weekend.  While I am several shades of sentimental, I do dread the thought of a birthday party with kids and...people.

First of all.. let me tell you about the cake of the year that Laurel turned six.  Ching said that he would go to a cake place to get Laurel a small cake with a few flowers.  He ordered a cake that he and Laurel picked.  Before he told me about the actual cost, he told me that just for five dollars more, instead of a Hello Kitty just on the surface of the cake, you get a small cake shaped into a kitty on top of the cake.  First of all..it was supposed to be flowers, just flowers, not a kitty.  A kitty that I hate and think that has a mixed message.  (I am not getting into that)  But this character that girls like doesn't have a freakin' mouth?  Really??   So messed up..perhaps they should take lessons for those that had a mouth against Susan G Komen..just saying...

Selfishly, I hate when Laurel's birthday is on the calendar..like she could control that..(I blame Ching and his swimmers.)  It is six weeks after the major holidays..this time of year I just want a breather and like a bitch, I don't want Laurel's turn into the new year at this point. All of the holiday boxes have just been put away and Amex..all paid. (Bad mother..bad mother!!!)

I will complain about the cost because any parent knows the pain.  Cake (if you are Ching Wang, it will range from $70 to $180..awesome), goody bags full of I-party crap, food, drink (not even the good drinks) and venue.  I feel ravaged just thinking about it.

I hate the whole social scene.  Several kids are all right but it's not the kids..it's the parents.  Some bug the piss out of me and I just want them to leave--usually these are the ones that stay the longest and bring a sibling that wasn't accounted for and will suck up another goody bag, food and two juice boxes. They will try to help but I want them to leave their kids and just go.  I will drop your kids off..bathed and everything.  I will make small talk with some and then there are those parents that I really like but I don't want to be a freakin' weirdo wanting to be their new best friend.  I want to share them to share a pizza with the Wangs on Friday with the kids..but they ask first.  God that is so messed up.

Never have I had several kids in casa Wang for a party (I don't know the word house in Chinese--I know house or casa..that's it). Too much hardwood..I really don't want some little kid slipping into the fireplace poker or worse..spraying pee all over the guest toilet.  (It's more the latter that I think will happen.)  I just don't want strange people all over my house--I don't care if they are six or sixty three..

My dear Laurel will turn six this year with just a few friends and family.  We got a fancy cake..and God help me, while I bitch, I am not the least bit guilty.  (That is probably next year..)
