Mary's Trip to NC

The week before was pretty much hell. We have been so busy that the house was a mess, we had no food, and both of us were behind on sleep. Wednesday night I was up till about 1 cleaning the house. Thursday night I worked till 1:15 and was back the next morning. Mary came on Friday and Jon picked her up. I raced home and then we were off to Bonefish Grill to celebrate my birthday dinner. Once again it was amazing and we all really enjoyed dessert.

Saturday morning I was up early and headed to class. It was a slow day and beautiful outside so I left a little early. We had muffins that Jon made. The kind that you just add milk/water to them and bake. The amount of time it took him you would've thought he was making them from scratch...We then headed to the flea market and shopped our tails off. We had some good finds and I collected a bunch of business cards for later. We then went to a few more shops got Jon a much needed hair cut and stopped by Rita's for our free water ice. After a quick stop at home to change we then headed to dinner. Sushi! It wasn't bad but I still prefer Red Bowl.

Sunday I was up early and at church for choir practice. We also had church elections. Jon and his mom arrived for second service. We took her to Cici's for lunch. I think she is hooked just like us. We all enjoyed some time on the couch and Mary and I worked on knitting.

Monday I had off so I drove Mary to the airport. I decided to take a break from working my tail off and went and got a pedicure. Enjoyed a nap and woke up feeling like bleh. I managed to get the stomach bug my kids had. Because of my other stomach issues it was not only a 24 hr bug and I was still messed up the following weekend.

My Birthday

I worked super late on the 4th so I was able to come in late on the 5th. This gave me a little extra time in the morning to take a shower and actually put on make up. When I got to work I got a nerf gun and an itunes gift card from the kids and cupcakes! (more on the cupcakes later) E sang Happy Birthday to me and we had a great day except for one crying spell. A got home early and I headed home for surprises from Jon. So much for getting off early there was a bad accident and traffic was so bad even after finding another way home it took me about an hour and a half to get home and it usually only takes 30 min. Jon surprised me with Cold Stone cupcakes. They were amazing and what I really wanted and I was afraid Jon didn't get all of my hints. He also got me another Kathy bag, a wallet, and a picture frame. For dinner we went to Kanki (I think that is how they spell it). I hinted sushi but we had hibachi which was still very yummy and I can't wait to go back.

Class on Saturday and some birthday shopping with Jon. Church on Sunday.
