getting older

well i have loved celebrating my birthday for 5 days now!
i am such a blessed girl!
wednesday got flowers at work from janet - they really brightened my day. that night we got take-out ribs from a yummy place called The Back Room. i think i didn't even finish all of my ribs so i could mow down the fry bread and french fries with ranch dressing:)
i had the day off thursday (my actual birthday) daddy took the boys to daycare while i got ready at my leisure and had an hour massage at 10am. joe had given me a gift certificate for one at valentines day. she also does 2 hour massages - maybe i can get that one next year. met my mom to go to lunch and do some shopping (if you can call it that in our neck of the woods). just used some coupons from the paper for this fancy place. spent the rest of the night cleaning up the house and preparing for dinner for 6 adults, 2 boys and one infant for the next night.
did have to head back to the real world friday - work. left by about 1:15 though. a classmate of mine from PT school was in town from dallas while her husband interviewed for a job. i showed her around our medical center and then returned her to her swanky lodgings in Whitefish. that allowed me to grab a Quickee (yummy sandwich) and then check on some shoes for big O and myself at the Toggery - mine were 40% off - can't beat that.
my godson (hunter) came to town from Helena - with his parents to check in with his ENT would recently moved to Kalispell from Great Falls for a check up on his ear tubes. My classmate from PT school and her husband, Will joined us for dinner that night too. We stayed up to midnight:)
Saturday we had a nice breakfast with Scott, Tana & Hunter then they headed to Missoula for a night at the Wingate for hunter to try out the water slides without his ear plugs. owen woke up with eye boogers once again so i spent another 2 hours in medical care - 1 1/2 waiting at urgent care and another 1/2 hour at wal-mart to get more eye drops ($66 worth this time). then we headed to my parents for dinner and to stay the night.
sunday am meant a hurried breakfast so we could be out the door and make it to church for joe to do the 930 reading and i helped out in the nursery - owen's 1st time!
the afternoon was spent getting our house back in order and trying to make the laundry pile somewhat smaller. by 5pm the babysitter was here and our friends mike and vicki had arrived so we could head to dinner in order to celebrate my birthday (once again) as well as mike's (which was actually today).
now settling in for the sunday night blues to begin. the boys are in bed and joe and i are relaxing on the couch taking in cold case and without a trace.
on with life....
