Birthday Parties...

are not my forte! My little princess will be seven years old next Thursday July 10 and I just can't seem to wrap my head around the idea that she will not stop growing! eek! :)

So I am now stressing out trying to plan a birthday party for 9 or 10 kids. And having a severe anxiety disorder at the best of times, I just feel like my head my explode. This is something I know that I can do...I've planned and pulled off a few parties in my life, but lately I've been having real hard time with it. My mom came over earlier and like the great mom she is, she took one look at me and asked "what's wrong". Nothing like a mom to be able to recognize things that would forever be a mystery to a man.

One of the things that are so frustrating to me when dealing with my bipolar disorder is that sometimes things that should be so easy, becomes nearly impossible even though I KNOW I can do it. I KNOW that my anxiety is totally inconsistant with the reality.

This is just one of the many reasons I scrap. Scrapping comes easy to me. And sometimes...it is the only thing in my life that comes easy.

Ok enough pity party!! My goal for tonight is to get some of the prep stuff started. I will be painting the base coat on at least one thing and then I'm going to do something a little scrappy...even if only a card or two.

So check back....I've be posting anything I managed to get done tonight.
