Had a nice birthday party for Patti yesterday. Originally we were going to do a quiet dinner with just the three of us, but we asked a couple of friends to have dinner with us. So after getting up at 4AM, flying from Orlando to Boston, working all day, picking up my sister, who is in Boston for training at Harvard, driving around Boston in the pouring rain and flooded streets, picking up flowers and gourmet dinner which is my version of I?ll-cook-dinner-on-your-birthday, I walked into a house of chaos.
For dinner and the ?party?, there was me, a man, and 9 females ? 4 adults and 5 kids. 4 of the kids are 2 or under and the 5th is 4. And if you have ever seen my insanely overpriced house in a nice neighborhood, you know that 4 people on the first floor is tight ? and 10 is like an English soccer riot waiting room.
But it was a good time and our friends Diedre and Danielle, with their girls Olivia and Julia (Diedre) and Jackie and Gabrielle (Danielle) were a ton of fun. Their husbands were traveling and at school, respectively, so that is how I had the luck of being in a house full of babes.
Thought I?d share.
