Birthday Party Rant

Ok, I just need to vent. I know it is probably just because I am 34 weeks pregnant that this is making me so mad, but I just need somewhere to get it all out.

We live a couple hours away from no ha my husband and my family, so we decided for my son’s first birthday we’d come to them and have a little family party. Since it’s a three day weekend and my sons birthday is this week, we decided on today.

I didn’t have a lot of energy to do anything big and extravagant, but I wanted it to be nice so I planned, ordered him a special cake that my parent’s picked up, made him a cute birthday onesie and crown, etc.

Well, when we arrived at my parent’s house late last night, we realized that my mom had left the cake out despite there saying in big letters, to keep refrigerated. I was so mad. I know not all cakes have to be refrigerated, but this one has a filling that needs to be. My parents went back in to town this morning to get a new cake, which I knew wouldn’t be personalized, but I hoped it would still be generic birthday themed to not clash with all the decorations, but the only boyish cake they had was football. Not only does football totally clash with our theme, but we are not football people AT ALL. I am just so upset, because I put all this effort in to making this party a success, and now I just feel like it’s all pointless. I just wanted my son’s first birthday party to be perfect. For those of you who read this whole thing, thanks. Like I said I’m sure it’s just pregnancy hormones making it a way bigger deal than it really is, but I just had to get it off my chest.
