This is the first time that I have ever blogged outside my home. Wait. No. I did an Easter post once from my dad’s house. BUT, this is the first time that I have blogged uhm, outside a HOUSE!

I’m at the Fun Factory right now, we are in the middle of my now Seven year old son’s birthday party. Please don;t judge. The fun factor is a HUGE place with all sorts of slides, ball pits and climbing apparatus BUT it is for kids ten and under. Parents sit at tables drinking java and reading books or newspapers – or if they are smart like me, they are taking advantage of the Fun Factory’s FREE wireless internet to compose a blog post!

We invited three boys from My son’s class, and only one of those three boys RSVP’d that they would come to the party. I tried calling the parents of the other two boys to see if they would be attending but was never able to get ahold of them. Suckage. Worse, the one boys who DID RSVP, never showed up (. So while the Fun Factory is , well, FUN, it’s not quite as fun for my boy right now. he is rather down in teh dumps that his birthday party turned out to be such a bomb.

And me? Im ticked off  for my son, AND that regardless of whether those three boys chose to show up for the party, I still am required to pay for their attendance.

Oh, and I am also ticked off that I stepped into a puddle of what I assume is urine on the laminate floors of the Fun Factory bathrooms. ( Not the wood flooring looking laminate, the square, colorful kind of flooring..). I’m pretty sure that since the fun factory does not allow its patrons to wear shoes inside the building that they should also require their staff to wash the bathroom floors every 15 minutes so that i don’t have to be subjected to pee’d on socks!

Ick.
