My Day

Yesterday was my birthday. It was quite the day. The morning went as usual. After the boys rest time I decided to vacuum since it really needed to be done. Usually Josh vacuums and the older boys run around while Finn hangs out with me on the couch. This time, I put Finn at his running table thing and he was not happy. At all. He worked himself up so bad that when I finally managed to calm him down (after I finished vacuuming and got Zeke off the bus) he did that little, sad, extra breath thing (I know you know what I'm talking about) for a good 10 minutes. Of course, he was so upset by the previous half hour that when I tried to put him down to make lunch he screamed, so I had to get out the moby wrap and strap him to me while I made sandwiches for the older boys. So, I was a little on the stressed side by the time naptime finally rolled around.

I put the boys in bed, had some lunch, then did the dishes that I was too tired to do the night before. Sigh. Then Josh tried calling and my phone "broke". It would ring and it worked, but I couldn't get any sound to come out of it. At all. So, as people tried to call me all afternoon, I would sit there listening to my ring tone, then text them back that I couldn't talk because my phone had no sound. I tried so many things to fix it. Finally I gave up and took a nap.

After my nap I got the boys up from their nap. I made hot dogs and macaroni and cheese for dinner (we really do things up special here). Josh came home and brought with him a super yummy cake from Coldstone Creamery. It was devil's food cake and chocolate ice cream layered with peanut butter cups. Soooo good. Here we are singing to me.

I think my favorite part of the evening was watching Deacon eat his piece of ice cream cake.

Yup, that's my boy! I know this may be overkill with the videos and the pictures, but I don't care. It's my birthday post, and I'll put up whatever I want. Lol. Besides, Deacon had us rolling.

While the sugar monster finished off his cake and ice cream, I opened my presents. Josh got me a Cold Stone gift card with the promise of time away from the boys (yay!), and Karen got me these sweet sock monkey slippers, that I apparently have to share with my children.

After we cleaned up Deacon, I left for evening Bible study on base. The ladies there sang to me as well. All in all, it was a pretty good day. A nice way to start the next year of my life.

And by the way, Josh came home from work, essentially looked at my phone, and fixed it in, like, 3 seconds. Jerk.
