5 birthdays, a baby shower and a Wedding.
Sounds like a movie title doesn't it? Nope - just my next 2 weeks wrapped up into a sentence.... We have 2 birthday parties and a baby shower this Saturday. Sunday we have a birthday party and are missing one birthday that happens to be at the same time as Lauren's (obviosly we will be going to Lauren's). Next Saturday we have a birthday party in the morning and a wedding in the afternoon.... I feel like I need to take a deep breath before it all starts. On a related but seperate note - Sarah and I went to Target today and were able to get all 5 birthday gifts. I walked away very satisfied and happy with every gift I bought. We were also able to even get a couple of Christmas gifts while we were there. I couldn't believe how good my girls did - you all know how horrible they are when we go anywhere - but today they actually did really good. I actually felt a little relieved when I got into the car to go home - normally by the time we are leaving - both girls are crying - I am near tears and wishing I had never left the house - which I know is just not a possibility - most days I just end up not going anywhere because I dred leaving the house - I know they are going to be awful - but today made me see what my future might hold.... I hope I hope I hope!
Anyway - wish me and my family luck in the next 2 weeks. :)

I promise it will only get better, (okay, worse some days, but still...)
If I survived the bedlam of young kidlings so can you, little missy. And frankly, you and Sarah do it much better than I did. I NEVER went anywhere alone when I had 3 little ones. NEVER!
(Note the chair through the sliding glass door incident...(((sigh)))
Mom - you were a fantastic mom. You did everything you needed to do - the chair needed to go through the window - if it hadn't been the chair it may have been one of us.... see you did the right thing! :)
who has a morning birthday party? it limits the alcoholic options.
i miss those target adventures.. : (
Good luck with the next couple weeks!!
Do you actually care about any of these people? I'm just asking because people tend to commit themselves to birthdays and goings-on that they REALLY don't care about, then have no choice but to fulfill their obligation. Thus, busy lives.
I think there was only 1 birthday that I could have avoided.... other than that I care deeply for all the people...
