The Good, the Bad, and the Funny Part 5

OMG, I think I just had the best birthday of my life! I don't remember ever having so much fun! My friends and I went out to a beautiful restaraunt and then went shopping!!! I bought a designer dress for my reunion and yes, it was almost the same size as I wore in high school. Almost. GRINNING!!! I never buy designer anything! I literally shop at Target for all my "teacher" clothes. My friends made me buy it and I am so grateful. They said, "Be happy, get rid of that Mommy Guilt!"
The drinks were so fabulous, the best really.

Oh Yeah, My H called several times. Was he checking in? He felt very left out that I had so much fun. He was so eager to hear what I though about the U2 card! He said he wished he could have been there to see my face when I opened the card. he really thought I was going to love it? I said, "It was so cute, really funny!" He called right after the kids sang to me. I know he was sad he could not be there for another important family event. His loss. I said, "I got a card from Mom ( I call MIL, MOM) and she sent me some spending money, I am so excited! I just love the things the kids picked out, thank you so much for doing that!" I could almost hear the tears welling up in his eyes.

FOLKS, nothing is more surreal than having to facilitate your own birthday party with a 6 and 2 year old. Let me explain. Most of the time if it is Mommy's birthday then Daddy does all the set up. Because if there are kids, then usually there is a mOmmy and daddy, Right? Well, when Daddy takes off, Mommy has to do something like this.

"Kids, lets get Mommy's cake now. Ok kids, lets light Mommy's candle. What should Mommy wish for? Oh, you want to me wish for hugs and kisses? Ok! Now, here is Mommy's present from S2. Ooo." So weird and kind of ...no I will not say it.

Luckily, luckily, I could not feel sorry for myself because Friend J said she does that all the time because her H is a firefighter, Freind O said she does that all thetime because her H is a nurse, and Friend G said she is a lesbian so she will never have a man throw her a party anyways. we laughed our a$$es off to that last one!!
