DD1's 7th birthday party this afternoon (NZ, so it's morning here). Frozen themed, so quite a bit of work has gone into it - cake is baked and decorated, all the baking is done (DD2 has food allergies so I have to bake everything)
Problem is, DH and I are sick. I've had a nasty sinus thing all week and not I've what feels like the start of a chest infection. DH is similar without the sinus stuff. Neither of us slept well last night with the coughing. I was evicted to the couch at 1am by a grumpy DH (to be fair, it's comfortable, and sleeping apart meant we weren't waking each other up).
It's going to be hell. MIL is coming up, but while she likes to help she's hard work and often creates more hassle by her helping.
DD2 is snotty and grumpy. But then she's nearly 3, snotty and grumpy is the default status.
We probably should cancel the party. But it will be 3 weeks or more before there's a spot to hold it again (all the friends have their birthdays within a few weeks of each other). And I was up til after midnight decorating the sodding cake.
WIBU to suck it up, load up on as many drugs as possible and just get through it?
