Time for an update the doesn't make me sound like a babbling moron...
I am fully prepared to be permanently hungry for the next few days. I am starting back on the SlimFast diet because a) I have a 2 huge containers of shake mix and b) because I am too dang lazy to cook, or count points, or make the effort to research healthy eating. So sad. I have decided to do it start it today because I am kidless until thursday morning and the hunger is easier to deal with if I don't have a screaming baby in my ear. I'm beginning to think that the undivided attention that we have been providing to the little one may have been counter productive. Now if he can't see one of us he throws a tantrum, or if he can see us but we aren't paying attention to him he gets unbelievably mad and screams so loudly I swear the neighbors are going to call child protective services on my butt. He's incredibly bright and intelligent, but also incredibly demanding. With that being said, I am so relieved tha my mother has kidnapped him for a few days. I gives me a chance to clean the house and maybe even unpack some of the stuff that is still in boxes around here. Although, since I don't know what is in the boxes and obviously don't need it (since I haven't unpacked them yet) maybe I should just pitch them and declutter my life just a little bit more.
Also in the works for the next few days or so, plans for Baby T's VERY FIRST BIRHTDAY PARTY. We still haven't decided on a theme yet. I've been trying to pin down the hunny for weeks to make a decision but he works so much that it is impossible to get a time when the party supply stores are open and he is off of work. We surfed the internet last night to maybe decide on something and narrowed it down to two things. Either Baby Sesame Street or Thomas the Tank Engine. Then he got it into his head that he wants to have a King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table type party. So, off I go to check out the party stores and see what is to be had. Ciao!

It's so hard to know how to get the right balance between "too much attention" and "criminal neglect." I'm still not sure we've got it right, and The Kid is nearly 5.
First birthdays are so exciting - except that when ours turned 1, both of us had just lost our jobs and were preparing to move halfway across the country to start over. We met my mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and neice-in-law at McDonald's and brought our own cupcakes.
But enough about me!
Hope you don't have too much trouble deciding on a theme - they all sound great to me!
