A quick update. Survived the party. Made it a point to be a big help preparing in the days before and during. Managed a house full of kids while her office relaxed. Was up that night feeling sick - some food someone brought, I think. Seemed a success. W wasn't completely happy with how it turned out, but oh well. W wore a pretty low top and kept leaning WAY over the table towards her boss. Boss really did spend most of his time talking with W, directing most of his jokes her way. Maybe I'm just sensitive. In a room of 8 people, he was directing his attention to her at least 75% of the time. Caught a couple of glances from boss' W that seemed to indicate that she noticed, but that was it - nothing obvious. Everyone seemed to leave happy. Spent the next day with the kids, watching the game, and cleaning up. Never once expressed any frustration with the party. I'll call that a success!
