I have been planning a surprise party for my sister for months. Now that the day is finally here, I have so many things left to do, I don't know where to begin. Before the guests arrive for the party I have to prepare snacks, clean the house, get dressed, etcetera. Not to mention that I have to do all those things without Mimi noticing anything out of the ordinary!
