well yes my birthday was a few weeks ago. really between us moving, adjusting to a new 21/7 work schedule of the hubs, the lovely financial strain from moving and well just being bloody exhausted we decided to wait for more a bday celebration. on my birthday i got to do whatever i wanted to. haha. i was offered a lot of options but in the end chose hanging out with my sick kiddies (the beginning of them being sick for 2 weeks) get coffee, go to the park and yes we shopped at costco and had a hot dog and poutine for my fabulous bday dinner. honestly i wouldn't have changed it at all. it was low matinenace and i was with my little family.
*side not. i really cannot say enough about how awesome it is to have phil (husband) home every night. yup the days are long and some nights he's beyond exhausted but he's always there to help, tuck the kids in, help with making sure they actually eat at supper time and hang out with me. i am loving it. sure there is the countdown every month for the one week off but having him home every night and not having to have the majority of our conversation be via text and a phone call a day is just so amazing and is doing awesome things for our family.
ok ok back to the bday
so on my bday phil surprised me by coming home early with a huge boquet of flowers and two bottles of my favorite wine. AH i love me some Red Bicyclette Syrah. so we decided to celebrate more when he was on days off and we didn't have to rush through things and be exhausted. i am someone who most of the time likes to be surprised by what i get for a gift....this year i wanted to pick. i knew what i needed / wanted and so really that'd be the best choice..haha.
so momma got a Keurig Platinum to hopefully avoid reheating coffee 3x a day and actually have a good cup & clothes. Now the clothes part is a journey. I am soooo picky. we went shopping yesterday and luckily for me all the pants i had tried on didn't fit. they were too big. it was pretty awesome. but i was ready to be done shopping so i stuck with the shirts i picked out that fit great and pants will be revisited another day. honestly i could shop for someone else for days but when it comes to me i like to keep it short and move right along. usually cause things don't fit and you can only do that for so long.
then we had lunch and a Knorr family nap. it was great. priorities really have changed and i wouldn't change it one bit.
i'm really missing my friends lately. (a whole nother blog needs to be written about this) if you're reading this...love you peoples.
well here we go. both kids rooms need to be cleaned and their clothes changed out to the next size up AGAIN and of course more laundry. hopefully we'll get out a bit this afternoon.
till whenever i write next
