I am back and sadly the day went downhill at lunch. We went and saw Salt which I thought was pretty good. Then went to Old Chicago for lunch. I asked s17 what he was getting. He said he didn't know. I said I bet you want the steak , then my Dad makes some comment about not being cheap. I thought he was teasing S17. Well S17 orders steak and all hell breaks lose. My Dad said that S17 made his choice and my Dad now won't be getting him anything ever again. Then he makes some comment about not wanting to ruin his daughters birthday. Too late. I said let me just get lunch and I start to cry. Really don't know where that came from. Anyway I left the table to calm down and the rest of the day was pretty well shot. We did go to the mall and do the trampoline thing like but this dark cloud just hang over everything. On top of that the alarm company calls that my alarm is going off. Someone has messed with the side door enough to st the alarm off.
My parents did get me a gift certificate and gave me the money to cover my day off plus paid for everything today. S17 bought me Leap Year and d11 made me a plate she painted. Of course I got lots of good wishes.
Some things I have learned this past year: if someone says they don't want to hurt you, they will; if someone says they don't want to fight, they will and when someone says they don't want to ruin your birthday they will.
