So, I thought my birthday was this coming Tuesday, but it's Monday.
Much to my surprise, Big Daddy brought home birthday gifts Thursday night and he wrapped them with the help of Maggie and Ellie. I can't wait to see what they are since Maggie had no idea what they were even after she had seen them!
After the kids were in bed Big Daddy told me that he didn't get me what I had asked for (a CD) because Maggie had just told him what I wanted. I have been telling her for at least a month so that Big Daddy would have an easy, inexpensive gift idea.
One of the sacrifices I made when I became a stay at home mom was my income which allowed me to buy what I wanted, when I wanted it. Big Daddy always tells me to buy what I want or need, but I have a hard time buying stuff unless it's needed. Everything seems so expensive these days and seeing how much money I spend on things that we need makes it hard to buy things that I want.
One thing that I didn't want for my birthday was another full week of single parenting. But that's exactly what I'm getting. We are planning to go out for breakfast to celebrate my birthday before Big Daddy leaves for his trip and then the day will proceed as normal.

Happy Birthday, early!! hope you guys enjoy a wonderful breakfast together, even if Big Daddy is going away again!! I don't know how ou stand him being gone so much, it would really drive me crazy:)))
We are so much alike. I was wanting a nice, new, fancy camera and was willing to make it a gift for every holiday of 2011 but did I get that nice, new fancy camera? No, and probably won't just because I have a halfway functioning piece of junk camera that at least takes pictures. Hope you enjoyed your breakfast and whatever gifts you received.
Happy Birthday! Single parenting is so hard! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I'm sorry and I hope it goes fast! Moms give up so much to stay home.
