When I was 7 years old, all I had were cake, ice cream and Hi-C in my 2nd grade classroom. And I thought I was the bomb. No bouncy houses, not even party favors! Yet I thought I had the best time and I did!
Birthdays are a HUGE deal to me even as an adult. It's a celebration of another year well lived. A celebration with family and friends. It's not even about the gifts. We all know, it's all about the booze.
The Boy, my son, Kaleo will be turning a year old next month. I have no clue as to what I will be planning. We are hoping to go home to the Philippines next month. That is if all goes well as far as travel arrangements are concerned. (Not to mention IRS taking their sweet ass time with out tax refund.)
At this point, any planning is in limbo. This is not working out for me. I am a planner. Things NEED to be planned. Without knowing for sure the details of our trip, I can't plan. I can't plan until I'm in the Philippines. Of course along with planning comes the financial "dent". I have nothing to "dent" with.
I'm mentally panicking about the whole birthday thing for Kaleo. Where, when, who, what. I can't plan anything. And it's in about a month...
To be continued ... We'll see what will happen. If anything, I can always just stick that party hat on my son, give him a cupcake with a single candle, sing happy birthday and call it good.
It's so crazy how time flies... I Cant believe he is only a month away from turning 1...,we love you Kaleo:)
ReplyDeleteRemember the 1st birthday is mostly about YOU and not so much about him. My point, don't worry about making it great for him. It is about being together & celebrating all you have enjoyed this past year. I know you will make it special no matter what! You are a great mom!
