EDGE OF COMPLETE BREAKDOWN
Omigod, 50 guests are going to be here in an hour!
Are the canapes all completely concocted?
Did I hear somebody knock?
Can somebody see if the baby needs changing?
I am not sure if we have time,
but the furniture all needs rearranging
Do we have enough chairs?
Give me a minute, to do something with my hair
Oh, no, we forgot about Grandpa!- we've got to get him dressed!
Ok, now take a deep breath and don't get stressed
Can you help me find his false teeth?
He's not sure where he put them down.
Then, if you get a chance, see if the pot-roast is getting brown
Can somebody check if the muffins are done?
No, no, not those plates- get out the good ones!
Will somebody please answer the goddam phone?
Oh, I wish that could have just 2 minutes of time, alone
There isn't time, now...
The broth for the dumplings is starting to boil,
but I can't find the pot lid, and we are out of aluminum foil
Listen, you kids, this is NOT the time to start to fight!
If the guests are coming, it would help to turn on the porch light
Oh, Christ, everything is out-of-control with the entire situation!
Maybe it doesn't matter...
You know, I think that I forgot to send out the invitations
