Big Weekend for Manic

But first, the important thing: The Tooth, after living inside Diva's mouth for about seven or six years, depending on when it popped into her mouth, no longer resides there! And how ironic that I just mentioned it in yesterday's Daring post! Go ahead, read about the trauma that is a Diva Tooth. I'll wait. You'll see. Pure Trauma.

I was more excited than Diva was when she got off the bus, and it suddenly fell out. You could hear me screaming from down the street. That tooth fairy better bring her a Ben Franklin!

Go Diva.

And in other, equally exciting news, I'm getting me some ME time! Yep, I am kickin' 'em out! All of 'em. And having some very special guests this weekend. You will not believe who is coming to Manic Land! There will be martinis, movies, munchies, music with some doctors pretending to be musicians, and much, much, much more...

Stay tuned for a possible suburban invite!

  8. I keep thinking of the scene from Elf where Buddy is like, "Santa's coming! Santa's coming!" There's more than one special guest coming though folks!

    Yet, of course, Diva is up at 2:48 COMPLAINING OF NOT FEELING WELL!!! Still kicking her out this weekend!!!!

    If she's well enouigh to complain she's well enough to bugger off for the weekend....afterall, I'm sure you're not just kicking her out with a sleeping bag and a "please take care of me" sign round her neck!

    Do NOT give in to the pangs of mum-guilt

  19. I SO wish I could be in, especially since ONE of your guests-to-be gave up the ghost through an easy hint. But I'm not goint to call anyone out. :)

    How long do you think it would take me to drive from Memphis? Though I think we're hosting a UFC fight 'party' tomorrow night.

  21. $100.00 for a tooth? Seriously? I'm gonna knock out a few of mine and send them your way.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Yay! The tooth is out at last. Looking forward to hearing about the weekend.

  23. Melisa is in AZ and I'm hanging w/ the nephews while they're out of town... I can only assume that by "doctors as rockers" you mean George Clooney & Patrick Dempsey.... and I cannot believe I'm going to miss this!

    Please post photos ASAP. Can't wait to read all about it!

  27. Kate and Heather--you both live in Texas--you both have 12 hours--get in your cars now!

    ReplyDelete
  28. whoohoo! congrats on that tooth! hope the tooth fairy didn't forget to get on over and leave her moolah! our tooth fairy seems to lack the memory to take care of business. my chillun's were finally informed in a screaming tirade about the truth last year. while i was over the top ill with mental illness and cancer testing gone bad. it was the low point of my year. so we pretend now that they don't know the truth but IF i forget they understand.

    Hey Manic, you'll never guess what just happened - I was over on Kim's blog and Kate (daughter no.1, autistic) said what's that? pointing to your picture ad before I could say anything she said "It's a picture of mummy!"

    Hello sister!!
