Rain Man

Thank you so much for coming to Z's birthday! He loves having friends over, and you being here made his birthday so special. Thank you, too, mommies for keeping me on task. When I came back from nursing the baby, everyone had finished dinner and left the table. It threw me off. "Don't they want cake? Why did they leave the table?" Then dh lit the candle on the cake, dad wasn't ready with the camera, Z REALLY wanted to blow out that candle, I knew something else was missing, I really wanted dad to get a good picture of Z and his cake, dh was rushing us to blow it out so that the candle wouldn't melt anymore - THE SONG! We forgot to SING! Thanks M. for reminding us. So I finally get a chance to eat, but it's time to leave. Thanks A. for reminding us to open presents. Oh, silly new mommy. First time party - could you tell? Probably were thinking it was the first time I had even BEEN to a party. But dang, that was a nice cake. At least he had a cute cake. Know what else we forgot - to VIDEO TAPE IT!!! Oh well. Can y'all come back over, and we try it again? Next time, I'm going to eat before the party so I can stay focused. I'm a routine kind of gal, and I can't start a new task before the old one is finished. I can't change the order of the ways I do things or I become frazzled. I can't clean the kitchen if my bed isn't made first. I HAVE to start cleaning in my bedroom. After the boys eat, I eat. Not cuz I'm hungry, cuz it's my routine. Rainman-ish. Anyway, thank you. Hopefully, I'll get the hang of this. I'll post more pictures when mom gives me hers - I didn't take any.
