In about 4 hours, there will be approximately 65 people coming over to celebrate my little guy's first birthday. So why am I sitting here writing a blog? Um, that's a good question. I don't know. It could be that I'm in denial of all that I still have left to do. Or it might be that I've just decided not to give a rip about some of the smaller stuff and let today be what it is.
For example. should I really bother cleaning the floors before 25 kids come busting through our door? I think not. But the Susie Homemaker in me wants things to be spotless. Then the voice of reason (for the purpose of this blog, I will refer to him as "Jake") reminds me that our house is never going to be spotless. Ever again. This makes my skin crawl a little but I try to ignore it.
I love that so many people are coming to help us celebrate- to have some of our most favorite people all under one roof is something I refuse to be too busy to recognize today. We are incredibly blessed. And I say that from a place of humility and gratitude.
Nevertheless, I'm pumping 35 adults full of coffee, and 25 kids full of hot chocolate and cupcakes. (I apologize in advance to all the parents for the potential meltdowns at bedtime. You are coming at your own risk). :)
And something tells me there will be a very large glass of wine- and perhaps a few tylenol in my near future this evening...
(Pictures to come). :)
