Five Days

I have five days left until Cordy’s birthday party. That means five days to accomplish the following things:

  • Order a cake from the grocery
  • Plan food to feed everyone
  • Call people who haven’t RSVP’d, so I know how many to feed
  • Do laundry so she has something nice to wear
  • Celebrate her actual birthday on Thursday
  • Take Cordy to the evil doctor on Friday for her check up and shots.
  • Get the carpets cleaned (my mother insisted on this one)
  • Find some decorations lying around the house from last year’s party
  • Dismantle the dining room table to provide more room

Basically, a lot of little stuff to do, just to have a casual birthday party. The hardest part will involve getting the carpets cleaned. We haven’t cleaned the carpets in the two years we’ve lived in our house, and well, we have three cats and a small child, so you can imagine how grungy they are. My mother insisted that we have the carpet cleaned before anyone came over, and she’s paying for it to be done.

But before the carpets can be cleaned, the clutter that is currently obscuring the view of the carpet must first be cleared out. Which means taking all of Cordy’s toys, all of my knitting supplies and magazines, and all of Aaron’s gaming stuff and banishing it to some other part of the house.

Essentially, I have to start with this…


…and remove everything except the large furniture.

Maybe I should start saving to have wood floors put in?
