Happy [Belated] Birthday To Me
Well, two days ago was my twenty-fifth birthday. “How on earth did you spend your day,” you might ask. Mike came home on Friday and after he walks in the door he goes, “You have three choices. New phone, Potawatomi Casino, or shooting.”
After some consideration I respond with, “Potawatomi, for sure. Why did you get a baby sitter?”
“I talked to Dad today. They have a baby shower they’re throwing on Sunday for a friend of Mom’s, so they can’t watch them over night. He said it wouldn’t be a problem if it was for a few hours.” So Mike asked me what I wanted to do knowing we’d have a sitter. Mike calls his Mom “So, I told Dad this already, now I’m going to tell you. Nikki wants to go to Poto for her birthday. Dad said it would be alright to watch them for a few hours.” She responded with something along the lines, “Well I have a house to clean and I really need to get that done. I’d rather you do it tonight instead.” It was already 5:30. By the time we would’ve gotten the kids ready and over to their house and down to Poto, it would have been 7pm. We would have had an hour to play & eat by the time we would have to go pick up the kids before they fell asleep.
*sigh* So much for going out for my birthday. Mike felt absolutely awful. He kept saying he was sorry. I told him it was alright. We’ll do something else. He then says something about my new phone then. I told him, “I don’t want you spending $200 on a new phone for me. It’s just too expensive right now.” I mean, I really really want a new phone but its just too expensive right now. I’d feel more comfortable saving up my money and buying it for myself.
So the next day, Saturday, my birthday, Mike had to work until 2:30pm. The kids woke me up early. For the most part they behaved themselves. I told Nickolas, “Its my birthday. So you guys are going to be very good boys, right?”
“Well Mom, I know Mikhail won’t be but I promise to try.”It was so cute.
So when Mike came home we knew our best friends, Adam and Gwenn might be coming over. We had plans on grilling steak for them. Well, we didn’t know whether or not Adam was going to get off work. So, we were hanging around just relaxing. Gwenn shows up. She didn’t know whether or not Adam was coming out of work or if he had to stay late so she came over anyways. We were sitting here talking when she said she needed notebooks for school. I mentioned Target. She mentions Starbucks. Mike offers to pay for our Starbucks. I ask Mike if I can get an expansion pack for the Sims 3. He said it was alright.
So we head out the door. I offer to drive. Mainly because I can smoke while I’m driving then. Gwenn doesn’t smoke but doesn’t mind me smoking so I drive. Remind you my car is really loud. There is no catalac (sp?) converter, and no muffler. It sounds like a motorcycle its so loud. We get to target and waste our time there. We get what we need. Browse clearance. Just enjoy time together talking. The boys are figuring out dinner.
So this is what I got:
Woot. I love The Sims. I own all expansion packs + game for the first and second additions to this game (probably almost $2500 worth of games).
We got our starbucks. I called Mike to find out what was going on for dinner. We decided we were going to eat at Kopps. This frozen custard place with burgers and chicken sandwiches (which are delicious). Gwenn and I headed to go pick up Adam at their house. We picked up Adam. Got our food and headed back to the house.
After we all ate we relaxed for a while outside. In my old apartment we had our own private patio. We don’t have that here so its sucks a bit. The boys caught fire flies with Gwenn for a while. Then we came inside. It was bedtime for the boys so we put them down.We then decided (Gwenn and I) that we were going to play Mario on the Wii. The boys hate that game, so they refuse. So second best, we’re going to play Mario Party 8.
We played one round when both the boys started complaining. Mike saying, “I hate this game!” He gets very bitter when he doesn’t win. LOL
Afterward we just relaxed, watched some tv until Mike practically fell asleep on the couch. Adam and Gwenn left. Mike and I went to bed. We laid entangled in each others arms. He rubbed my back. Until we fell asleep. I love those little moments like that. <3
All and all, it was an alright birthday. I really wanted to go to Potawatomi though. Maybe some other time when we have a sitter they’ll let us go. Tonight I went and bought some Tiramisu for myself as a birthday cake for me. Its the little things you do for yourself that add up to be a lot.
Alright. I’ve got to be honest with you. The kids are still awake *rips out hair* I have to keep getting up with them every 20 minutes so its making writing this entry difficult. So I’m going to just end it at that.
