Well, last night's hostess (aka Mother of the Year) called me this morning with another $99.50 in orders...I told my husband if she can pull this up to a $1000 show with a few more Outside Orders, I can forgiver her little demons, I mean, children, for their behavior last night.

It's in a thread from late last night somewhere...when I was loopy on cough medicine - LOL
Last night's hostess had her 2 and 4 yr olds running around, screaming, climbing on my table, sticking fingers in the food as I was preparing - they were simply awful.
