I realize a public blog is both a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing because the rest of the world can share in your insanity. A curse because, well, the rest of the world can share in your insanity! Including those you write about!
Today's episode is all about being the trash pal!
Yesterday was Xander's first birthday party (Xander being Liam's first friend. Josh's coworker's little boy)
After a rather craptacular morning I was pleased to feel well enough to attend the party. And while we were nearly an hour late (we're so good like that. I'm NEVER late! Just horrifying!) it didnt seem to matter.
Might I show what my son did the entire 45 minute car ride?
Yum. Shoes taste good! That's him in his car seat with his foot swung up to his mouth to gnaw. Weirdo.
The birthday boy was adorable as ever and in such a good mood (granted I've NEVER seen him in a poor mood and while his parents swear it happens...I dont believe them.)
The other guests were fabulous. Nice and inviting. The kind of party where even though you know exactly three of the people there (the guest of honor and his parents) it doesnt REALLY matter because it's just comfortable.
I realized a few things while there. My son is giant. Really. Xander has a good two months on him but Liam's just as tall. And the other little girl who was there wasnt much bigger either! It made my baby seem painfully behind when in reality he's just younger than them not behind at all!
I also realized...WE ARE THE TRASH FRIENDS!
You know how everyone kind of has one set of friends trashier than the rest? Well Matt and Jade's friends are all nice and classy and kind people. Then there's Josh and I. Who regularly use Liam and say "I'm gonna fuck you up mom/dad." With me Little Miss Sailor Mouth. My husband. Who likes to flash his ass (COD I hate that!) Who are just a liiiiiiiiiiiittle rough around the edges.
OMG. We're the trash friends. And now you know. *sigh* I find it amusing and horrifying all at once. We've never BEEN the trash friends before! I think I should be both honored and disturbed.
Thankfully Matt and Jade obviously dont mind us being the trash friends. Which is a plus. :)
I'm off to chew on more of the leftover cake. I didnt feel up for cake while I was there...but man oh man am I glad they sent us with a freaking platter of cake. That cake was un.freaking.real. YUM!
I also need to get the boychild to nap. If he doesnt go down soon we wont be making it to the softball game and Josh will have to go alone again. And that's no good!
