First Birthday Fun

Hurray!!!! My son is now 1!!!!! I don't even know where the time went, but on Sunday, we celebrated his first birthday and it was a fabulous day :) It was one of those kind of cloudy but warm days, perfect for a party out at the spit. We had some good food, some good visits with family and friends, and some rather yummy birthday cake!!!! And to top it all off, the little gaffer made out like a bandit (which is a huge help to me)!! So all in all it was a great day!!! Hard to believe it's all over already. Funny how that happens. You put all this time and effort into planning and organizing something, like a party or wedding, and then you blink and it's over!!! And I've found that these built up events fly by even faster as I've gotten older. Oh well, it was a lot of fun and I think he had a great time and he absolutely loved being sung to over and over.

So Happy 1st Birthday to my little gaffer :)

Good friends are hard to find!!!!

Oh August, I am so happy that you are here!!!! I have been waiting for it to get here and now that we're well into the month, all the adventures are about to begin. And I am getting really excited!!!! In just a few days, 2 very good friends will be coming to visit and I can't wait!!!! Friend J will be staying at the beach and coming to the island for a visit on Monday and Friend M will be here late late on Monday night!!! It will be so nice to see them both!! I saw J not too long ago for her sons first birthday, but it will be great to see her on my end of things and to get the boys together to play!!! It has been over a year since I have seen my M and I am so looking forward to seeing her. And it will be so wonderful for her to finally meet my son!! Can you believe it, she has never met him?? She technically got to meet him when he was still in the womb, but hasn't had the luxury of seeing him in person. So that will be so nice. I am looking forward to the good food, good drinks, good laughs, and all the good times that we're going to have while she is here!!!! It is going to be awesome!!!

I am so grateful for such good friends.

My last get together with J

The last time M and I saw each other just over a year ago, so if you ask me a visit is definitely in order!!!!!!

Blah blah blah

It is 3 weeks until my baby's first birthday. I don't know how this happened so quickly, but all of a sudden we're well into August and now I have to get my butt in gear and get myself organized and figure out what I'm doing for a cake and food and all that fun stuff!!! God!!! I am excited but I'm torn and it's stressing me out and I'm feeling somewhat down too so that doesn't help. There's something about being stressed and depressed that don't go well together. Needless to say, it was a very blah kind of day with no motivation or progress or really anything at all. I'm actually surprised that there are real words in this post and the whole thing isn't just 'blah blah blah blah blah'.
Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day :S

The time has come

Well I am finally getting around to cleaning up this mess I call home. It's so frustrating because most days I am just cleaning up the same spots over and over again. It's always the kitchen/dishes and if I'm lucky the bathroom, but nothing else ever gets touched!! Well today I have abandoned the kitchen and bathroom and focused my attention elsewhere. I can actually see the wood of the computer desk now, something I haven't seen in quite awhile. I don't know how it happens, but clutter and crap find themselves quite at home in my house. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the house is the size of a sardine tin and there are no closets. Rather frustrating if you ask me.
Nonetheless, it feels good to get things cleaned up and tossed out!!!
