My Birthday

sucked
for the most part

Here was the day:

It started out nice. I found out that we had a snow day at 6am, and was thrilled. My mom stopped by around 10 and took the boys outside to play.
Here is Josh after coming in from the snow
Then an unfortunate thing happened. Joe's medical files were delivered to my house. I ended up sitting and reading the entire file while the boys napped. There was some surprising information in them, as well as hard information to read. It was also interesting to read about myself in the third person, and read myself quoted. It was a hard read, and I haven't gotten over it yet.
Then the boys and I baked the most delicious cookies
Here they are:
Then I put the boys to bed, cleaned the house, made myself dinner and sat on the couch. Oh wait! Did you want to see the flowers that T sent me? Or the card or present he gave me? Hmm, so did I.

I am seriously beginning to despise my birthday.

I'm sorry b, reading those files must've been hard, beyond what I think I could handle reading. You are such a strong woman.

Hope T had/has an explanation, or he better watch out for all your blogger friends :)

Happy birthday, B!

I hope T has something planned for you...!

I want a cookie! They look so yummy!

The snow, boys and cookies are gorgeous.

Maybe Tic Tac Toe isn't a Valentines Day believer and will therefore totally spoil you on a random non-commercialised day....

I'm glad you have Joe's medical files, but sad you received them on your birthday.

It's already tomorrow here in Oz and it's a beautiful day. :)

Your cookies look so good, I can't get past that part...yum..with cappucino...

I am sorry you got those files on your birthday, and I can totally understand having to read them right away...I can't imagine how hard it was to go through that all over again, esp. when you don't expect it.

And, T? Well, some people just aren't that good with those days...maybe he wants to see you in person, give him the benefit of doubt before you get too mad. :)

You deserve a wonderful birthday - so unfair that it didn't come through for you yet again this year! *hugs* from WI!!!

Are those cookies or cinnamon rolls??? They look delicious either way...yum.

This is by NO means the same. But my new guy also showed up empty handed last night. (And I know it wasn't my birthday!) I also tend to think that T is probably waiting to give you something in person. At least I sure hope so!

And I'm sorry you had to receive those medical files on your birthday. How gut wrenching.

Big hugs...

K, who is your new guy?

And yes, we are going away this weekend, just the two of us, so that's what he considers my birthday. As my sister said, I'm not dating a woman. Oh well.

B, check your e-mail! ;)

Sorry your birthday wasn't so great. There is always next year. And maybe T has something up his sleeve still!

I was going to say, he sounds like a real man now. Some guys just don't get the importance of gifts to women. Or at least a gesture of remembrance.
