Droppin' like flies

Well, my 'busy' weekend ended up being a flop.
Bummer. Cause I was soooooo excited about it too.

I had my Tupperware party yesterday and though monetarily I met my sales goal...it just didn't turn out as I though it would.

First off, my guest list was rather promising. 17 people had given me an RSVP!! WoW!
But quickly, the numbers changed and people started dropping out like flies because of this and that. Eh, life happens. And I can't blame 'em cause I ended up dropping out of my own party and missed the whole thing!
Let me start from the beginning:
Did I mention I was beyond excited about this weekend? Well, as I am getting things ready yesterday...at about 10 something I started feeling nauseous very quickly and the lower right side of my back started aching like you wouldn't believe! It just got worse and worse as each moment passes and Jason convinces me to go to the doctor. At 10:30, I drive myself. First of all, if your husband offers to drive you to the doctor when you feel like your gonna die, take him up on the offer. By the time I get there, I am in tears and can barely stand up. They rush me right to the back and put me on a gurney to lay down. Anyway, I've been fighting a bladder infection for a while and apparently it had evolved into a kidney infection! The time for my party rolls around and I am just pulling in my driveway and feeling all shades of horrible. I thought I'd just sit there and tell Jason what I needed to do, but I couldn't even do that! I ended up praying to the porcelain (for lack of a better term...sorry) god and sitting on my bathroom floor for the duration of the party. At some point I ended up in my bed and Jason woke me up and said that party was over. :(
I missed the whole thing!
Let me just tell you, my hubby is the winner of the greatest husband award (who says? Says ME!!) because he hosted that party like a champ! He was serving up the ladies some sangria and being quite the entertainer I hear. He told me that 8 people showed up (8!!!!!) What happened to my 17 RSVP's?? Sooo many things that were uncontrollable I guess, kinda like my situation....

My medication started taking effect about 11 am this morning and I have felt human again since. Because of that, I missed going to the SD Zoo today with the fam. I guess it was all for the best because I'm taking my lil Kinders on thier first field trip to the LA Zoo tomorrow! and no I'm not nervous about taking 63 Kinders (21 of them are mine) because I won't be by myself! We have the whole grade level team going. Woot!

All is well that ends well! I'm so sorry to the 8 people who showed up and never got to see me! I felt so bad! And as for the other 9 of you who didn't...be glad you weren't able to come. I was a hot mess!
