What a day it was, one of the best times ever with his friends over and my friends who were literally on their toes to help me  make the party a huge success, Some said I was brave, Some said I was strong and some wished me luck and some even patted my back today morning to see me still smiling n lively as ever.

 

 

Things didn’t start the way I wanted this week, Noel’s teacher called me up on monday morning and told Noel was complaining about ear pain, I panicked as I didn’t want him to fall ill on his birthday so rushed off from work, picked him from school, got to the doctor’s surgery just in time to convince(literally convince) to give him antibiotics. As soon as he had couple of doses, he started getting better.

 

 

 

 

So there I was all set for this birthday morning to be a special one but here he is slowly getting excited. So I didn’t send him to school hoping that he will get a good rest before mayhem as well as the fun starts in the evening.

 

 

 

Slowly started decorating with balloons n banners and suddenly realised my close friend S offered to help me by painting the kids faces with some amazing designs and I completely forgot to buy the kit.

So I convinced Noel by saying its just a matter of 1 hr, went out in the foggy morning and rushed parked the car and went off to get my stuff without even releasing that I forgot to switch off my car lights!!

 

 

Now now now, finished my shopping, came to the car and couldn’t start as my car’s battery went completely dead.

You can imagine my thoughts and Noel’s poor little face staring at me??

Nothing made me prepare for something so stupid as that.

 

 

 

Why why why?? I was cursing myself for being so stupid. Anyway called RAC, the best road recovery services I  pay  along with my insurance , told the problem and expected something I really want to hear but and I  ended up hearinghow busy they were n  atleast 4 hrs and nothing else. I was gobsmacked to hear one of the best road rescue services can’t come earlier than that, I requested n told  about my kid’s party and how I need to be there for receive them. The poor lady on the other side was so sorry for me and said she will do what she can. Time was running out, Noel was getting restless and not to mention myself going through so many emotions.

 

 

 

Suddenly after an hour, I saw their orangey van as an angel in disguise.Imagine how relieved I was??

He jump-started my car and off we rushed home, sorted everything just in time to welcome our guests.

 

 

Still I had things to do and panicked n struggling to come out of that car saga which went for more than 3 hours, I was completely drained  but when you think things are getting to you and feel little stressed, your close friends are always there to immediately notice that and help out. 

 

 

 

 

I am so proud to have known you and thank you R, S, Sh and G for your immense help. I owe you gals and Sh thanks once again for your patience with the kiddos. Their face designs were absolutely amazing and loved it so much that the parents found it hard to make them wash away their face paints after they got home.

 

 

Noel had an amazing time and so has kids. An eye opener for me to get things organised. But when things go out of hand and when you need help, I am  so blessed to see so many close friends trying to reach me n  offering help even before I ask.

I am getting tearful now, as times like this make you feel how lucky you are to have a great bunch of friends. When you are so away from family , its only friends you have got here and to have a right bunch of them, I am so thankful!!

As promised here are shots of the special day:
