The Grouch

Oh my gosh! It's been five days since I last wrote or commented on anything here on steemit. It's been a busy week. My neice's seventh birthday party was held last Friday.

I personally don't approve of holding any of those parties with lots of people and stress and chaos and noise and all that. I think it's a complete waste of time nd money and I think I'm slowly evolving into a grouch.

I used to love those parties where friends get together, we go to each others' house, raid each others' fridge, crash on each others beds. But now, I just want a quiet time at home. I mean I would do all those house chores while I have Netflix playing whatever series I'm hooked into at the moment.

This month was just completely crazy. My sisted put me in charge of decorating the venue, I got sick because the design she wanted were flowers and I had to juggle the flower making activity with my two jobs and my full time job od momming my kid. So I guess this is what I don't like about kiddie parties. More importantly DIY kiddie parties.

Well, overall, the party was a success. There were some bumps along the way, but we got through it. I swore I won't go through any of that ever again. I still firmly believe that the entire thing is extravagance. I don't think it adds anything to a kid's morals and values.

Sure it's fun. But I think there still are other ways to have fun other than a party.

Or maybe, I'm just being a grouch. I think that's just it. I am still recuperating and the event was really tiresome. Enjoyable but still tiresome.

Right now, I'm just trying to get back on my feet. I have two stories I am writing right now both of which I couldn't get to finish yet. But I'm giving myself some time. I need to get back on track. I've lost so much time this June. July's got to be a different story.
