Oh, today has been such an exhausting day!
We did nothing.
Well, nothing to speak of.
Of course I still had all of my motherly duties to attend to.
I think I irritated an old back injury and it is really killing.
It's sad when I am trying to be nice and sweet with the kids but I am is serious pain and I feel like I am going to snap.
I didn't though and everyone is tucked into bed. All I have to do is wait for them to fall asleep so I can go take a hot bath. Maybe then I can get everything ready for tomorrow. My house that is in a disastrous state will have to wait.
I had a good birthday. Ric and I went out and shared a free burger at Red Robin and then ran errands with no kids.
My wonderful family took me out to lunch and spoiled me with gifts.
There was an awkward and embarrassing moment while opening my gifts. I was speed reading the cards they made me so I wouldn't cry and I almost lost it, but I sucked my tears in and tried to keep going. On the last gift, which was boots they pitched in to get me, I did lose it and just started to cry. I couldn't stop and explain myself or I would have gone into the "ugly cry". So, they think I really liked the boots, which I did but that's not why I was crying.
It was so nice that when none of them have any money right now they spent it on me, I felt bad but loved. And I love them so much I can hardly stand to think of leaving them. They are my best friends and my heart just aches. Well, good going now I'm crying again!
I don't like being in my 30's, but at least I am still on the low end. And I am praying my 31st year is nothing like my 30th.
Thank you to everyone who thought of me and wished me a happy birthday.
