Birthday
Today was the loveliest birthday I've had in a long time.
Punk wanted to bake Jen a cake (it was her birthday too), so we did that the other day and I frosted it and then Punk and Tukey covered it in sprinkles. We got to present the cake and card to Jen this morning while Tukey shouted the Happy Birthday song at the top of his little lungs. So cute. So stinking cute.
A coworker bought me coffee mid-morning. I'd already had my coffee (from home). But he bought me another. So I drank it. And I was flyiiiiiiing.
I got all of my paperwork done during staff meeting. Which I'm sure I'm not supposed to do and it's rude as heck but hey, I got it all done.
While I was in staff meeting, I got a text from a friend to say that she and her other friend were coming over and feeding/playing with my kids over dinner time so that I could run, because it's been a while. So I got dinner for the kids and then I left for half an hour, running a 5k in 30 minutes and coming home in the dark to happy children. This is good because I'm running an actual 5k race on Sunday with another friend and I wanted to make sure I could run for 30 minutes at least. (I've been working up to it, but I don't love running.) The friends brought over my favorite cake (I don't remember ever mentioning that, but she swears I did) and we gave some to the kids after I got back from running. (It was DELICIOUS.)
After I bathed the kids and put them to bed, a friend came over with a very thoughtful present and stayed for about an hour. I also got some money from relatives and my brother and SIL gave me a generous gift certificate to Zappos. WOOT.
I feel very blessed and special this year. I love birthdays!
