Yesterday was my birthday. Twenty-seven. I know it's not that old, but it feels like I'm on my way. It was a great day, though. On Sunday night, my darling husband made me an amazing cheesecake...chocolate chips, strawberry glaze, a layer of chocolate and home-made whipped cream. Mmmmm! It was amazing! And then last night he made me a special dinner: prime rib with crab meat and "spicy sauce" (I think it was some sort of chipotle cream sauce) with garlic-parmesan mashed potatoes and salad. He spoils me. =)
Z was even good to me yesterday! We got home from work around 8:30am and came home to play for a while. Then he was a big boy when we went to get his hair cut, and we had some pizza for lunch. He took a really great nap and never threw any temper-tantrums. It was awesome.
I got to talk to my mom too. It's been over a year, so it was nice. It was kinda late for her, about 9:30pm there, 2:30pm here. She started out kinda down sounding, but she perked up as we kept talking; we were on for about two hours. She got to talk to Z for the first time too. She loved that he knew who she was, and I think it really made her happy.
So, now, here I am. I set this thing up yesterday, but didn't get to it. I was too busy indulging in a fabulously decadent birthday dinner with my loves! =) But, the plan is to write in here every night. At least something. It's going to be a place where I can put my feelings down when I'm happy, sad, angry, indifferent, stressed...whatever.
I have a lot on my plate right now with going back to college full time, taking care of a two-and-a-half year old, helping my husband through the police department academy (he graduates in April, bringing on a whole new world of stress) and trying to maintain a life of some kind. Oh yeah, and I work about 20 hours a week as well. *le sigh*
It's a busy life. But, it's my life, and I love it. (Even though I'm sure I'll complain about it sometimes!) =)
While I'm on spring break this week, the plan from here (I had to enjoy my birthday, right?!) is to work on catching up on homework and getting all the projects done that are due by Monday. But first, I'm going to have some more fun! My sister's baby was due yesterday, but her little man is still holding on. Her doctor said he isn't worried, and won't induce until Monday, but I think he'll be here tomorrow (her wedding anniversary and my brother's birthday!). But, the fun part is: I'm making her a baby album for him! I know she's not much for scrapbooking, but she's talked about it. So, I'm going to make one for her, and all she has to do is put pictures in of him. I hope that she likes it.
I was going to put his name on it, but she just told me yesterday that they may not stick with the name that they were going to give him. Apparently, her husband's family isn't too keen on it. It's a traditional Czech name, because that's where his family originates from, but they want him to have a "family" name, which means he'd be "the III" since his daddy is Junior. They didn't really want to do that. So now, they are just going to wait until he's born and see what he looks like and go from there. They don't want him to get teased for having a "different" name. I thought it was cute: Emrick Jadren.
But, I guess I'll have to wait until he's born, find out his name, and then put it on the album and send it to her. I hope that she likes it. I want to do one for her oldest too--my niece--since she never did one for her either.
Okay, here I am, first day back on the blogging bandwagon, and just going off like a cannon! Save some for tomorrow, right?! lol
'Til Tomorrow...
