Early this AM my hubby came back to bed after talking with his best friend. We chatted because I was hoping she is ok - she is but struggling with the death of her fiance. It was past 4am when he came to bed but he did clean the windows of the minivan that some idiot had poured oil over so I could use the minivan for today's trip.
I also could see he really cleaned the stove - boy I need her to call more often - LOL. So I got everything packed and my son loaded it in the car. His friends were texting and making sure it was all still on because it was very cold, windy and raining pretty hard.
we got there a little before 9am and started to setup. Luckily we had 2 of 3 dryest tables in the park as the overhead wasn't too bad - the rain would splatter the tables but definately better than if it were out in the open. Kids started coming - my son did the big reveal of his non-hair and they started playing paint ball. Everyone had fun - I kept buying more paint balls and kept food on the table and despite being very cold and windy - the kids had a blast and were covered in mud and paint by the end of the day. the kids were so respectful to me and saying how cool his skull cake was and how cool of a mom I was for the party. Some offered to chip in but I said no it was fine. We had about 2000 paintballs left of 9,500. I took a couple of kids home and then my hubby had the garage ready for us so we could strip our muddy clothes off (and my son had quite a bit of paint on him too).
I ran in - and took a shower - 9am-4pm in the cold, wet wind was too much for my back and bones - I ended up pretty heavily medicated but it was so worth it to give my son an awesome 16th bday. He did some homework and we then ate pizza and watched a 2 1/2 men and then he did more homework and headed to bed.
I went to bed - in and out of sleep - my hubby's friend called again and they talked for a long time - that is good for both of them - earlier he had told me she talked to him about some stuff I hoped she would discuss with him and so she is helping me a lot too. I think that is pretty awesome with all of her world turned upside down that she is helping us so much - I really don't mind my hubby helping her.
When my hubby came back to bed in the early morning - we talked a bit more before I crashed off to sleep again.
