Planning

I just learned today that I am hosting Mother's Day for 16 people at my house. That gives me 6 days to plan. I was going to get my house cleaned this week but do I really want to get my house cleaned a few days before I have 5 kids running around (not to mention the adults)...making a mess. Now my cleaners are coming next week...after the madness (I have to clean myself instead)!

Food prep for a party is a lot of work. Anyone have any ideas for a great recipe for appetizer? I need some good ones. Of course I can look up recipes online but I am not into cooking so its easier for me to get a recipe handed to me and someone say its good and easy to make.

Did I forget to mention that we have a really busy week and weekend:

1. I am hosting a Cinco de Mayo dinner at my house on Wednesday. I have to plan for that too. Well at least we are catering so all I have to worry about is the margaritas and guacamole.

2. Its Teacher Appreciation Week so my son and I have to make cards for his 2 teachers, make them brownies, buy them flowers. We love his teachers so of course we want to show our appreciation. 

3. We are leaving for Hawaii next week so I have to think about packing and buying what I need for our trip. 

4. I have to buy a birthday present and baby shower present for this coming weekend. My husband is in a class all day Saturday so he can't help me much this weekend. 

5. All of these things to do in addition to our normal busy week of school, doc appt, costco trip,  target trip etc...

What happened all of a sudden?

Anyone want to help?
