Don't be so hard on yourself, about the bday party thing. Mine is 2 1/2 I barely remember what we did but it was something like, make some cupcakes, eat spaghetti for dinner (his fave) and sing Happy Birthday after dinner with my all boy crew!

If they have a cake and an enthusiastic set of parents they will be happy. This also provides you a chance to do something a little different on their birthday. Something they already love or something you think they will love. <br /><br />Sometimes I feel the way you do right now.

Go for an hour walk and come back feeling refreshed. About the birthday party. They're only 2. Lavish birthday parties or just simple ones, the kidlets aren't going to remember any of it. Make a luscious cake, put a sign up, make their favorite food for dinner, get a few balloons and take lots of pictures.

What she will do is throw us a Hawiaan party (or somewhere warm) she will decorate, make hawiaan food and then watch a movie or play games. The change of pace is nice and helps to get us out of our funk.<br />You could also try a vacation ( I think they are called staycations) where you find Nicole Marshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714734397275818084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198884230672863097.post-64197505311092634502009-04-17T07:59:00.000-06:002009-04-17T07:59:00.000-06:00I am telling you, it is spring fever!

Dropping off some treat or cutesy craft or something at some random friend's house always makes me feel better. Plus, as a bonus, if you make treats you get to eat some too.
