....and when I say stars, I really mean Tracy's front yard. =)
Let me set the scene.
It's 5:30am.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
My alarm went off. It was time for me to get up and blow up 33 balloons that would soon be used for fun decoration.I rolled out of bed. Literally. My hip was hurting. Seriously people - my body is falling apart.
I rolled out of bed and got started. I watched Nashville Star while filling balloons with helium.
I really considered doing a video blog while filling 33 balloons, but didn't. I looked awesome. I really should have shared it with the world. Ok, world is a bit much. More like the 81.9 of you (average - obviously...sometimes more, sometimes less) that visit each day.
Fill the balloon. Tie the balloon. Fast forward through the commercials on the TV. Tie the ribbon on the balloon. Tie weight to the end of the ribbon. I've got mad multi-tasking skills - thanks to 10 years of dispatching. Ha!
Thump.
Thump.
What on earth IS that?
Thump.
Ahhh! It was my little helper. Nathan was beyond excited when I told him about my balloon idea. He couldn't wait to help me.
Waaah! Waaah!
Crap! Jack's awake.
Go get Jack. Give him milk. Fill more balloons. Tie more balloons. Put ribbon on balloons. Tie on the weight.
How many of you have I lost to far? Just checking......
The time - 7am. I told Nathan that we would have to be very quiet so that we didn't wake anyone up at Tracy's house. Nathan woke up Justin so he could take care of Jack while we were gone. He couldn't have been happier to help us.
I'd made a sign the night before to hang on Tracy's door. This is fun stuff, people.
I think we did a wonderful job.
My little helper. He's kinda hard to see in the sea of balloons. It's almost like finding Waldo.
He did manage to get this beautiful shot of me.
Ok, so I over did it with the pictures. But I've got mad skills, people. =)
