So my birthday was...uneventful. I had a feeling it would be. Bill and I were completely preoccupied with the preparing to sell the house this weekend that we didn't get to go out at all. My grandparents called at 7am to sing happy birthday to me - yes they do it every year. Then yesturday Liam and I had swim lessons at 10. Afterwards we went to lunch with Nancy and Erin, and then did a little shopping. It was really nice that two of my friends had the day off and were able to buy me lunch - that brightened my day.
Then Liam and I went home and I fed him dinner and waited for Bill to get home. He was late getting home, and I knew he was out frantically shopping for a birthday gift. That's just Bill. He came home while I was up changing diapers, and when I came down he had my present in the gift bag his mom had dropped off with clothes for Liam. He bought me a dozen roses from kroger, and a six pack of beer and a 4 pack of mini margaritas. He also bought me the most recent Norah Jones CD from the Kmart next to the Kroger's by our house. He says after my surgery he will take me someplace nice for dinner, but last night we went to LaRosa's for spaghetti-a-plenty.
Even though Bill's birthday was the day before I had Liam - I managed to pick out and purchase the MP3 player he wanted - a few weeks in advance so I was prepared. Its not that I'm ungrateful...sometimes I just wish I wasn't an afterthought.
