Saddled with the task of hosting the football team's pasta dinner for 60 players or more? Don't be scared -- walk into the fear and conquer the beast!
On Wednesday, my high school son informed me that we would be hosting the Cross Country Team's kick off pasta dinner at our home two days later. I said "OK," being the self-proclaimed entertaining guru that I am (much sarcasm noted here).
However, I quickly learned that this casual team function would involve 60 runners, 120 parents, a coach and several hours of activities. At this point, the sweat started to run down my brow just a little......
"That's okay," I said -- "we can use the backyard!" But Mother Nature had another plan for us!
Check back here in September for my entire article about the need for a Plan B in entertaining. Trust me, it will make for light-hearted, yet oh-so-educational reading!
