My Kinda Sugar High

Umm, hi there...

I'm so sorry that I was stoned off my ass at your kid's birthday party, especially since you probably only wished you were (but weren't) at my son's party last weekend. (Sucker!) I assure you, it was for medicinal purposes only.

You see, it's just that it's been a really long week... long day... bad morning... allergy season. I've been stuffy, sneezey, coughy, achy... well, absolutely miserable.

I probably could have sent my Hubby and my son on their own and (blissfully) spent the entire morning in bed, but I just could not miss the BIG party for your little guy. Why, that would be a shame!

(note to self: umm, do THAT next time...)

I haven't left my house in a week HELP ME. and the only thing I had on hand was some of my son's cough medication from way back before it was frowned upon. I figure, they dose this stuff based on weight sooooooo, what's that?

Um, sssssiii-SEVEN times his dosage for me?

Right? No? Oh well... It turned out alright. Everybody seemed to have fun. I had a GREAT time and you have some equally quality footage of me snorting and laughing hysterically at my own lame jokes.

I didn't even mind when you insisted that we have that Barney sing along. In fact, I believe that the medication only enhanced the experience. I hope you didn't mind that I changed the words to that annoying charming "Bingo was his name-o" song... (B-I-T-C-H, was it?)

My apologies for any of the other inappropriate things I may or may not have said... out loud... in front of the kids.

Well, so there you have it. I promise to be on my best behavior next year.

Hugs!

awesome, so that is how to get through Barney: hopped up on cold meds. I shall take note

Kid party and Barney? *shudder* Mind altering drugs are necessary!

oh my gosh. Barney songs? An OD of cough syrup is NOT enough to fix that. I don't blame you one bit.

Nice! I think I'm going to drink some cough medicine before the roller skating party we're going to on Saturday. Maybe I can embarrass my daughter even more than I already do.

There is NO amount of medication that could help me get through anything with Barney (and the Teletubbies, Booba, and Doodlebops!) in it. He makes my ears and eyes bleed!

Although, the next time I take my two year old to Toys R Us, I might try some cold meds and see if that helps get me through the *cough* experience.

Great post!
