[blparent] birthday party help

[Veronica Smith]

What I have found over the years that the sighted mom's always pitch in to
help, which I liked, but they do not try to run the show.  Well, some of
them try, but once they see that you are in control, they back off.  I have
some friends who have always been there for me because when I am  in a noisy
place, like a bowling alley, I just can't hear, whether  it be my own child
or the x amount of others I have invited.  Just make sure that you get there
first, you set the tables how you want, if you get to bring your own plates,
then make sure to set them up.  That shows you are in control.

Will Hungry Jack's be providing anything for you?  You don't mean the party
is tomorrow, do you?

 I'm about to organise my first birthday party on my own, and the thought
really freaks me out.  Cathy is 5 on Monday, and we are going to have it  at
hungry jacks.  There will be 2 other mothers, one with 4 kids, and one  with
2.  Then there's my 3 kids.  I don't know these mothers all that  well.
Also, not sure how much I would need to be involved with the other  kids.
 Not sure how a totally blind person managers in this situation?
 Steph
