Yesterday, I woke up at 6:30 so I could get to the park early enough to get some good tables. My parents thought I was being paranoid, I think. Until we showed up and there was another dad there with his tablecloths on 4 tables already. I told them! Long story short, the party didn't suck, and Matthew had a fantastic time. I was so excited when it was done. After the party, we went to my mom and dad's to finish opening his presents from them. Finally came home and chilled out for a while. Which really means I fell asleep for 20 minutes. Eventually we ventured out to get the movies for our movie night. We watched Pirates of the Carribean 3 and ate popcorn and pretzels and junk.
shinigumi came over and hung out with us, too. Matthew went to bed completely exhausted.
shinigumi left around 10:45 because I was so tired. I started to read a book, only to wake up about 15 minutes later feeling incredibly tired, but not sleepy. I finally managed to fall asleep some time after 3 AM. I hate it when I can't sleep normally. I really like to sleep for several hours in a row. Now my brain feels funny and my eyeballs feel scratchy. I can't imagine that this is a good combo for Matthew to deal with, poor guy.
Today, Matthew wants to spend his birthday money. I'm thinking we deserve a breakfast out to continue his Birthday Celebration Weekend. Then his dad is coming over to hang out with him here while I go to work. Yay work. My job isn't bad. I'm just lazy. I have to remind myself of that quite frequently. :P When I come home from work, my goal is to finish the laundry that never ends and clean my kitchen. I feel some cookie baking coming on! Speaking of cookies, my Invisible Internet Friends, what is your favorite kind? I always make the same kind, and new ideas could be good!
