- So What if I never did a huge recap of my amazing visit with Shannon. I mean, you all read her blog. Her readers read mine, so it's kinda like cribbing notes in high school anyway except you don't get detention and a firm talk in the form of a mind-numbing lecture about being honest and responsible from your parents.
- So What if I am fighting this moving to a toddler bed thing with every ounce of momma drama that I've got. This is the last thing that I have to hold onto that solidifies my baby is still, in fact, a baby. I am not ready for this. But, apparently after his 3rd successful crib bailout yesterday during naptime, he is though. Le sigh.
- So What if I ate an entire 1/2 bag of salted pistachios for breakfast and topped it off with an ice cold Mountain Dew for breakfast. #teachingmytoddlerbadthings Hey, it's better than Mommy Juice.
- So What if I haven't planned a hot bit of Smith's birthday party that is THIS Saturday. I mean, between searching for a new home, scheduling a move, going to Trinidad, going to Ohio, putting a cat to sleep, moving, and unpacking, the last thing on my mind is planning a birthday party to the umpteenth degree. Call me a bad mom, but Pinterest and I didn't combine forces on this one. He will be surrounded by friends and family, he'll have some snacks, he'll swim, he'll have a choo choo train to ride, and he'll blow out a candle. What more does he need? Pinterest (and blogging) makes you feel like a complete failure if you don't spend hours crafting some DIY shit to the fullest for your toddler. He's a 2 year old. I doubt he'll give a rats as about tissue poms or homemade train shaped cookies. #momfail
- So What if I seem to talk in hashtags too much. And I'm not even a Twitter Twit.
- So What if this blogging hiatus has been the best thing for me. I have vowed to only blog when I have something to say. Otherwise eff it. It's never been about numbers. It will never be about numbers. This is my very public and sometimes misconstrued, but most of the time appreciated for the sarcastic bullshit it is diary.
- So What if I am going to plug Little Laws Prints right now. If you haven't signed up for the newsletter, you have missed out on a 20% off coupon. Just sayin. Slackasses.
- So What if I am looking forward to several weeks down the road when one or more of my body parts will promptly lay on the couch for an entire 48 hours without having to lift something, pack something, hang something, or drop kick something. The past month and a half has been a doosey and this mama needs a break.
- So What if I am finally going to stop making promises to be everything to everyone. I am only one person and I can't be fabulous in every way. I am not going to make apologies for tending to my own biznass anymore and I am not going to feel guilty for telling someone no. (whothefuckamikiddingwiththis?)
What are you saying So What to this week? Link up with my BBFF turned BFIRL.

That Toys R Us story was muffed up. I can't believe how big of jerks they are!!! And take some time to chill lady, you've been through a lot!

Love you for doing your own thing! Really, it's your life do whatcha want to! And seriously, Smith will just love being surrounded by family and friends and having a good time. Pinterest shiz is for the mommies more than anything. I had two rolls of streamers and a funfetti cake at our little one's birthday and you know what? WE LIVED ;) So screw the perfection and just have a good time! No worries!
All I want is one day of nothing... to sit my pregnant ass on the couch and not have to do anything or be somewhere or entertain someone. Maybe we should meet up between OH and FL, get a cheap hotel and sleep/rest the day away??
Don't even worry about the birthday thing, like you said all that matters is that you have friends and family there. Smith won't care or even really remember.
I only plan to do something big for Hunter's first bday and that's more for me than for him. After that I probably won't go all out. That's the benefit to having boys I don't think they care as much as girls do about having big birthday parties.
How have I not found you sooner?! I adore your sass and honesty. I'm your newest follower.

Girl I feel you on the birthday party issue. I finally decided when the only reason I wanted a party with a cutesy theme and all that goes with it was because I wanted pictures for my blog that I had officially lost my mother effing mind.
So I ordered him a barney shirt and will hope someone out there can channel their inner 90s cartoon characters and slap that ugly dinosaur on a cake and I'm calling it quits. He's going to lose his toddler shit over it and that will make me happy.
you're super creative and crafty, I know last minute inspiration will come for Smith's bday just in time. And yes, good for you about not feeling like you have to blog everyday. Plus you've had a super crazy hectic month. Blogging should never feel like work. You're awesome and your followers know this :) your blog is for you. Do what makes you happy!
you are so going to pull something amazing out of your arse and have the most fab party for your little dude you will and the fact that you are the bestest momma in the world and fam friends and a train well that already makes it awesome sweets. We just need to give Pinterest the middle finger sometimes lol, cause not all of us can do that lol! You my friend will make his birfday amazing, I need to do the last one too, learn to say no, I say yes to everybody but who am I kidding that my nature. You rock you know that! So what is this Toys r us stuff?? I read they took your comment off but what did they do? They are crazy sometimes girl! Yay you met your bbff and now ya'll are irlbff's! awesomesauce see that is what makes this blogging thang worth it...you make friends, and that rocks! I am so glad you and I have become so close! love you mean it! Sums
If it makes you feel any better...I had a coke and cinnamon melt (from McD's) for breakfast--followed by popcorn.
And...to make it worse, I now bribe Mia with cinnamon melts for breakfast just so we can go to McD's for my coke.
Last year, my husband forgot the entire bag of decorations for G's party. I almost kicked him in the balls. I did cry. And then I realized that NO ONE would remember. So who cares.
But I am totally making decorations this year. No tissue poms or over-the-top madness though.
Good luck with the toddler bed! It's better than him climbing out all the time!
And I am the worst with b-day parties too. They'll never remember!
Agree with you 100% on the birthday party thing. My little dude turned 2 last Sunday and I had nothing planned. And you know what...it turned out to be the best party. I'm sure the same will happen for you!
New follower from So What! I look forward to reading
Little kid birthday parties are for the moms - not that there is anything wrong with that, but if you're not into it, there is no need to throw a big shindig. I have never thrown a Pinterest/blog-worthy party and none of my friends have either. I am pretty sure those moms only exist in BlogLand.
I try to keep my babies little as long as possible. They grow up too fast anyways.
Mountain dew vs Mommy juice. Hahahahaha!

So what if this is my favorite So what EVER!!!! #loveyou #notontwittereither #buthashtaglikeiam #word
yeah, I am fighting the move to the crib. he's only climbed out once and hasn't attempted it again. so he'll stay in the crib indefinitely - i'm not moving him until he's regularly making jail breaks.
