Soooo sleeepppyyyy....

My idiot husband didn`t bring the cord back from school yesterday so I am stuck trying to woo you all with the written word yet again! ;-) not really my forte! Joey is having a nap and I should probably be sleeping with him but lately I have been having a hard time going back to sleep once I have been woken up. Must be getting old! It is only 2 weeks until Joey`s 1st birthday and I have been in negotiations with D about his party. I have been bringing the subject up for WEEKS but D has never showed any interest in it so on saturday I said to him, "ok, I am going to organise things my way seeing as you have no interest. Just leave it to me." He said ok and I figured I would start calling people and seeing who was around etc.. In typical D fashion he rocked up yesterday morning at breakfast and said "About J`s birthday party, I think we should go and stay with my Mum that weekend and celebrate there. "This bothers me for two reasons. 1) We are going to stay in kanoya the following week anyway so I don`t see why we can`t have a party then rather than make two trips and 2) I want to have a proper kid`s party for Joey with other kids (his age and older) and games and decorations not a Japanese-style dinner with only adults and no decorations! I am sticking to my guns and have decided to have a couple of parties for him over the two weeks following his birthday! This suits me anyway because I LOVE birthdays and parties so it is all good! :-) I am still annoyed with D for ignoring me while I was trying to discuss it with him and then suddenly have an opinion about the matter! Men!! When I was talking to my Mum about it this morning she was 100% on my side saying "we did the same thing for your 1st birthday, remember? " and I was like "mum, I was ONE..!" I know he won`t remember the day but to me it is the celebration of everything he has learnt and all the things we have been through together this year. I know I am probably making very little sense but Joey seems to be on some new schedule where he almost never naps and he wakes up super early so I am knackered!!! I have taken to going to bed at the same time as him as that is the only way I can get through the day!!! IT also doesn`t help that D is really busy at work at the moment so he has been coming home late and bringing work home with him and leaving all the J stuff to me, which is fair enough but I am getting a bit worn out!
