Casa de Crazy...: Overcommitted, Exhausted, Fun..but glad I'm done!

Wow, not sure where to even begin. It's been a CRAZY week and yes, I realize it's been a WHOLE WEEK since I blogged...the nerve! Last week I tried to get a years worth of community service/social events into one week!! I mean I have had a lot of bad ideas in my day but being co-chair of Cattle Barons decorations committee and hosting a Carrilon party in the same week topped off with two dental fillings might be up there with one of the worst..oh yeah and mothering a 5 month old. It's amazing Knox even remembers me. It started on Tues with me trying to get everything done for the week/weekend because I knew I would be gone and then I didn't stop again really until this afternoon. Wednesday Brooke and I arranged all the flowers and set up all the tables ect. for the Carillon party at Nonnie's house. Thursday morning I dropped Knox off at Gan's and headed to the Ag barn which would become my home away from home. I did everything from stringing Christmas lights, moving hay bails, moving shrubs/trees, hanging signage and answered a bunch of questions that I pretty much made up the answers to. Then around 5 I headed home to do a quick change and then off to the Carillon party where we set up tables, made cocktails, served food, did small talk, ate and finally headed home around 11ish. We did make a Champagne Mojito which is HEAVENLY! Friday morning I was at the Ag barn by 8:45 and Brooke and I spent most of the day doing all of the flower arrangements for the whole event..seriously between that and the Carillon party we probably did 50 arrangements...funny since I was pretty much winging it the whole time! I got home Friday night around 10pm. SteveO came in and kept Knox for us and then Dad flew Sharon in on Sat so he was covered for the whole weekend. Thank you Rizzle and SteveO for coming and sorry I got to see you for like 10 min! Sat I was up and at UPS by 8am. I also almost drove to Byers because I was so tired that I totally missed my turn. Why? Oh, that's because UPS was holding my Cattle Baron's dress hostage. It was in town and ON THE PREMISES but they wouldn't give it to me...ugh there are no words for the anger. I literally think there was smoke coming out my ears when he told me he wouldn't give it to me! I will be using Fed-Ex from this point fwd!
So I head back to the barn for finishing touches and leave around 3 to go get my hair did. It was the first time I sat down for an extended period of time in days! I left there, ran by the parents so Pat could meet Knox then home to get and outfit picked out and makeup on in about 30 minutes.
Fast fwd 45 minutes....Slade and I are walking in the ball, have put my purse down and gotten a drink when I realize that ummm I have on no deodorant...yeah, so excited. I make Slade go with me and we go BACK to the car and run to Walgreens to get me a little deodorant. You know you are tired when you forget an essential like deodorant.
The event was a success! We raised $280,000 and Pat was great and the food was amazing! By midnight I was finished and needed sleep so we came home only to wake up and go break it all down at 10am Sun...talk about a WHIP! I can't believe it 2 years I agreed to be CHAIR of decorations!
Today I got 2 fillings filled and remembered why I hate dental work. I had to run a few errands of course I ran into about 10 people I know with half of my face numb...that pretty much sums up my week!
Of course I took no pics but Brooke did so when I get some of her's i'll post them.
