Stress, stress, stress!

Yesterday it was my dad's birthday. We didn't throw a major party, just a few members of the family and close friends were invited. Every single year, my mom starts shouting through the house, commanding us to do all sorts of stuff because she thinks she's doing everything? Then, after doing a whole list of stuff..I have to see what I want to be wearing for when the guests would come. And of course, I had absolutely n-o-t-h-I-n-g to wear!! It was disastrous!! Jeans are too casual, my black trousers were still hanging out to dry, my army print pants..well, that's not appropriate at all!! And so...I was left with a pair of white trousers. White trousers...I still have nightmares of having to wear them and then at the end of an evening..to find out that you're wearing the wrong color underwear that completely shows under your pants. Well, yesterday, I was determined to not let that nightmare become real-life. So there I was..my mom still shouting about things I apparently forgot to do..a clock which told me I only had 4 minutes left to get ready, white trousers and a whole drawer full of bright pink underwear. Luckily, I found some red underwear! Red doesn't show under white!!! Quickly, I then popped on a cute purple top, beautiful black stiletto's, mascara, blusher and a bit of lip-gloss. So, in those 4 minutes I was able to show up in a pretty cute outfit! Never, had I felt so proud of myself. In the end, we had a lot of fun and my dad had a great birthday, and that's what counts of course! Although it was fun in the end, I'm happy that it's over.

Am I the only one who has to deal with these kind of situations every special occasion? If so, if anyone has any advice to make these days easier...I'm dying to know!

That's it for now..have to go to another dinner tonight, so the whole drama can start again..
