This is the start of a wild and crazy week in our little town. When I lived out of town I loved coming back for the festival. It is a great time. Since moving back to my village it is not quite the same feeling. It gets a bit crazy and exhausting. Owning a business is going to give exhausted a new meaning.
The carnival arrived last night. Is it weird that I am disappointed none of the Carnies have come in for coffee? Little bit! I'm hoping for a big week. Carnies drink coffee too. Plus I would probably get some great blogging material. You know they have great stories. They are set up on the other side of the train tracks. They must not have discovered my shop.
The festival starts on Thursday evening. That is bracelet night for the locals to go to the carnival. Thursday morning our school does Grandparents breakfast. Not going to lie, it is a big hassle for about 15 minutes of time with the kids. It used to be held on Friday. We were able to spend time in the classrooms. Not sure why it changed.
My plan is to stay open late on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night. I probably will not get busy until Saturday. I sure would not turn people away if they show up earlier. I need a big week-end. All of my candy orders came in. Today I have to go out of town to pick up my Sam's order. I am still waiting on a few orders. Three orders of gift items. A very important order of Mickey & Minnie costumes. That is not looking good. Very nervous! Freaking out already!!!! Looking for a back-up plan. Maybe there will be two ghosts in the parade. I can cut holes in sheets.
This is what I am missing for the kiddie parade. Two people to carry the parade banner. Mickey & Minnie costumes. Those are major items. It will all work out some how, some way.... Worse case scenario, The Kid will be forced to find a friend and carry the banner. Things will work out one way or another.
I am closing my shop Monday and Tuesday next week. Need time to regroup. I hope to be completely out of everything!! Will need time to get some orders in. I am very excited to see how things go in the next 6 days. Could be a wild ride.
Happy Monday!
