okay. we are finally back from the party. thank GOD! I should have heeded all of the signs and never went. but I did anyway.
- first we hit every single red light between here and where the party was at.
- random kid playing, that was fine.
- it took FOREVER for them to FINALLY cook the food so my kid was CONSTANTLY bugging me for chips because he was hungry.
- time to eat and now he doesn't want to eat he wants to keep playing
- it's time to open gifts and my son is nowhere to be found. it's at this point that Tyler says that Gavin was on the other side of the hill crying and Tyler had been back for over 5 minutes.
- I get to the other side of the hill and there is nothing but step slope and the water. I tried going down the hill a bit and it was so slippery I had to catch my balance fast or I was going to head first in the water. I look around and don't see my kid. I now have visions of my son somewhere drowned and I had no idea it was happening.
- I look over towards the bathrooms and find him dinking around over there. so I head over there where he yells he's not my son anymore and takes off.
- I catch up to him and it turns out the reason Tyler and the other boys had gotten back so early and hadn't told me right away that he was crying was because he was crying because they threw rocks at his chest!!! so now my kid is mad at me for not coming right away when it happened.
- so then I get back and Alyssa has already opened all the gifts, including mine, and Gavin still won't come all the way over, he's at the stupid jungle gym thing.
- party favor time and I trade him his grab bag for this damn stick he's picked up from somewhere.
- pinata time ... my child grabs the stick back when I'm not looking and running around whacking at it instead of letting Alyssa doing it. at one point he even yanks the stick from her and hits it.
- I get him off to the side and I'm trying to hold him down to get him to calm down. in the process I had to set my sunglasses aside because he was trying to jam them in my eyes, along with scratching and biting me.
- he gets free and takes off after the pinata again
- this time he gets on the jungle gym and won't come down. I tried and tried, I did manage to pop him in the butt once, but I hurt my hand more than his bottom.
- Liz helps me get him down and into the car while I put the chairs we brought in the trunk.
- I gather the rest of my things and my sunglasses are totally gone and innocent faces all around.
- I get in my car and my Hello Kitty fob breaks off my key ring
- we get home and I open the trunk to get the chairs out after getting the kid and the dog in the house. by the time I have the dog in the house and off his leash, my son has slammed the trunk shut, grabbed my pop, and prances past me telling me I'm not allowed to get the chairs. so, he got a pop in the mouth that was pretty much blocked by the pop.
- went back and got the chairs and went to put them on Tanya's porch and managed to stab the palm of my hand with my keys.
- get in the house to my kid sobbing and screaming he doesn't want me to slap him and now he's thirsty, hungry, and needs a hug.
*sighs* I am SO not going to the birthday party for Aidan tomorrow!!!!!
