I need an assistant-slash-someone to do everything for me.

Who would like to do the following things for me. For free.
-Clean my house on a weeky basis
-Plan C's first birthday party
-Read books for me and give me the summary
-Rake the billions of leaves in our yard that the huge stupid tree pooped out
-Find me a part time job, do said job, and then give me the profits

I know it may seem like a lot, but it's really not. We're called to serve others, so someone come serve me.

I kid, of course....

Ok seriously though, my brain literally HURTS. Like, caffeine doesn't even help. My precious diet coke is just something that tastes good to me now.
When did kid's first birthday parties become like a bigger deal than my wedding? I know he's only going to be ONE and has like no clue what the h is happening but obviously the party is for the adults and to show off how I'm some sort of super mom or whatever. Which I'm totes not. Someone please share some unlame first boy birthday party ideas thank you. I know he loves Mickey Mouse but I don't want a Mickey-themed party. And it's MY PARTY. Ok, that was the venti frap from starbucks I had this morning. I need to go lay down.
GIVE ME IDEAS BEFORE I POKE MY EYES OUT.

Lol I made Jon a cupcake and he was delighted to drop it off the side of his highchair repeatedly. That was it. But we didn't have family in the entire state, either. Still, keeping it simple will work nicely. No one will mind if you are not decorated to the nine's. Or ten's. Just have fun.
He is a cutie.

I saw a cute idea on a friend's FB wall about a camp/outdoors themed 1st bday party. I'll show you the pictures sometime!

ideas for a first birthday party = adult drinking party. lots of wine.
Seriously, he's not going to know...
Ask Heather - she's rocking this whole birthday thing for her kids and not going too overboard I think.
and random idea - the kids in the baby room at our daycare had a kiddie pool filled with balls like a playplace, and I feel like a 1 year old would love that. It's about him anyway, right? :)
You'll do awesome. Nobody will judge. and if they do... ;)

Maybe just a cool party that's not obnoxiously over the top Mickey...but still kinda subtly Mickey? I saw this on Pinterest, and it's awesome.

Also, don't fret about the first birthday party...whatever you do, it'll be good, because your sweet little boy will be the center of attention!

PS: Thanks for a good excuse for wasting more time on Pinterest...

PPS: Let's have a Decatur rendesvous soon!

PPPS: You have NO idea how long it just took me to spell rendezvous right...
