It's a morning party and my daughter is serving breakfast food. We can pick up a shake if necessary. I feel so much better! My kids are great, but once in a blue moon I feel like I get put in a situation where I have to choose who has the greater need and ... don't like it at all. My son was even going to take off work and keep him at home, but then he misses his cousin's party - and he'd know something was up if he wasn't with me - and the other would know when we showed up without him.
