my son's 1st birthday is coming up. we plan on having a party for him. we haven't been able to commit to any of our ideas because everyone wants to be involved and everyone has different ideas: indoor, outdoor, catered, hot dogs and burgers, day, evening, intimate, invite the entire island...classic case of too many chefs in the kitchen! what do i do? i don't want to leave people out. people keep offering help and/or suggestions. and considering the fact that this is the first time i've had to organize and children's birthday party, part of me wants to take everyone's advice. most of me is frustrated that i've allowed the planning to get this far away from us.
his party is in two weeks!
it's a 1st birthday...but here on guam...1st birthdays are among the biggest parties in a child's life. as of a couple of days ago we've agreed on a theme (star wars), venue, reserved canopies and chairs and purchased misc. decorations. the rest is still in the "concept" stage. and i'm rapidly moving into the "panic" stage. still on the list: food, decorations, desserts, birthday cake, goody bags and, i hate to admit it, invitations haven't gone out yet!
(pause for a mini meltdown)
AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHH!!!! GRRRRRR!!!!!!!!! AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(resume blog)
one of the only thing comforting me right now is the fact that he's too young to remember seeing his mommy and daddy scrambling like crazy people trying to throw his party together. it's another is the fact that this is the first birthday party of many, and at this point...it can only get better.
sigh.
