Warning: At various times, this post may contain TMI. Also contains MAP (massive amounts of pictures). Also contains odd spacing, thank you blogger.
2:00-7:30 AM - I started celebrating my birthday in the wee hours of the morning with three trips to the bathroom. Nothing says old like peeing all night.
8:00-9:30 AM - No worries, it wasn't a complete sign of aging, but rather a UTI. I suppose that screams old more than peeing all night. I spent the next hour and a half discussing my bladder and it's issues with a Dr. at the clinic.
9:30-11:00ish AM - Crawled back to bed, still in my jammies and sent my family off to get my meds. Only the fear of not being prepared for the rest of my day motivated me to get out of my warm bed, in a quiet house.
11:00AM -12:00 PM - Spent the next hour or so discussing with Rachael all of our over-achieving ideas for valentines day and how we realistically wouldn't get around to even half of them.
12:00 PM - My family came home with doughnuts, meds, and my first birthday card of the day. I fell to the floor laughing and wet my pants. Yes I did. Not really that hard when you have a UTI, just sayin.
12:03 PM - Sent the first two kids to their rooms crying. Was called the meanest mom ever at least 3 times.
12:30 PM - Finally took a shower.
1:00-1:30 PM - Whipped up some holiday decor for the Valentines Dinner we put on for my parents and grandma. Sent my oldest to his room crying for the second time. He finally fell asleep.
1:30-3:30 PM - Finished up decor and dinner prep while the boys slept and Sophie bathed. Ignored the massive amount of splashing I could hear, which I knew was resulting in the floor getting cleaner than Sophie.
Spencer woke up. Thank goodness he was done accusing me of ruining everything. He went off to finish building me my birthday present.
Got dressed for dinner only to have Jason call me back out to show me the new scratches on the dining room floor. Water off my back at this point. Water off my back.
Had Spencer come out and apologize for breaking the bathtub while he was picking up all the toys that got displaced during the Sea World exhibit that happened in the bathtub. The water spout is no longer sealed to the tub surround by caulking. Yea for kids and new houses. Yea.
4:00 PM - Started cooking dinner. Visited with my aunt and uncle who had dropped off my Grandma.
5:00 PM - Pigged out. Salad, baked potatoes, veggies, and salmon.
6:15 PM - Pigged out, again. Strawberry Shortcake.
7:30ish PM - Said goodnight to all my company. Ignored my children who were whining and crying for the 800th time. Talked to Susan, laughed really hard when she told me her favorite thing about me is my disregard for other people (specifically their opinions) and agreed when she told me that playing it cool (in regards to expectations around the holidays) has never really worked for me so I should really just write it all out and give it to my family (specifically, my husband). Classic conversation. I loved it.
8:30 PM - Laughed out loud and disrupted everyone during family prayer. Thought Carson sitting on Spencer's lap was the funniest thing ever. I may have been a little loopy at this point. Listened to the weeping and wailing of the children as Jason put them to bed.
9:00-10:00 PM - Checked out my new pegboard (my birthday present to myself, it's much easier to pick out my own stuff) that Jason installed while I was on the phone. Worked on finishing the kids' valentines.
10:00 PM - Fell asleep waiting for a movie to download on Netflix. Nothing says old like falling asleep early. QWest man, if you're still reading at this point, our internet is hella slow. Like H-E-L-L-A S-L-O-W. You should look into that for me, or tell me how to.
12:00ish AM - Woke up to Rachael calling, I can't say I talked to her, I think it was more of just holding the phone up to my ear and making responsive noises.
Went to bed.
--It was too much work to add all the times I checked Facebook throughout the day. Besides, I wouldn't want to appear to be obsessive or anything. It was awesome. Especially for a girl who always jokes that she doesn't have any friends. And Alicia, the poem was stellar.--

I like how in the picture of Swophie and grandma you can see grandpa's car. A little wave from him in the window. You had quite the day my friend. Bladdy infection on your birthday, not such a great present huh? I wish I would have taken a picture of my kids v-day cards with the suckers in them, way better looking. The strawberry shortcake was great. Happy Birthday again, and I hate getting older. It's the pits. Grandpa used to say that, not that he hated it, but that getting older was the pits...Oh, and that bday card us awesome. ANd I hate your garage, and I love that you made me 2 of those freakin cute jars for my teachers.
wv-butanu but-an-u face. it totally happened to me...
NICE!!! I need the TMI since i don't have much.........lol
strawberry shortcake??? sounds yummy...i guess i'll take your word for it...or rachaels. whatevs
Love the flower vases. What a cute idea. I thought about getting something for the teachers...then figured they're probably getting more candy than they ever want anyway. That's as far as my thinking went. LOVE your valentines decorations. So cute. When you said "MY" side of the garage...I just thought you meant it was the side you cleaned and organized. Not that you actually have a craft room in there!!! So jealous. It looks so comfy and organized and crafty...makes me want to make something. ;) The valentines are adorable, too, of course. Sorry about the UTI. Sucks. And on your birthday, no less. The universe can be so cruel.
So many comments to make, so little memory. I know I'll forget something. 1. I love that you wet your pants laughing at your card and then blogged about it. That card was awesome. I love that Jason signed his name like it was a government form and that Sophie randomly threw a w in hers. 2. I am not kidding when I say that I stared at that little boy in the pictures with your grandma for a full two minutes wondering who he was before figuring it out. 3. OH MY GOSH, even your garage is perfect and cute and decorated?! I officially hate you. 4. Cutest gardening bag ever. 5. Cutest Valentines ever. 6. I love that the Qwest man is reading your blog. 7. I'm so glad you loved the poem! I went back to read it and it's gone!! At least on my stupid facebook app it is. Oh well. Glad you had an awesome birthday, UTI and all.
Rachael, your WV comment was awesome.
