Happy Birthday Dean(started this yesterday)

My hubby turns 27 today. I never am able to get him anything that #1 he doesnt know about or #2 I cant hide from him.(because I am so anxious to give him his gifts). This year was different. they weren’t great gifts, just ones I put lots of thought into. I got him this as a gag gift, I told him he needs to wear it while working out! Dean working out= fatal error. Sorry I thought it was funny. I also got him a deep fryer. he’s been shopping around for one for months and just wouldnt commit, said he didnt want to spend the money, so I did it for him. Now I can make yummy bbq wings! Mmmmm! I intended to make a computer cake for him, and had the pan. The pan did not come w/ instructions but had ideas, one being to use it to make it a huge rice krispy treat cake. I loved that idea as rice krispy treats are one of Dean’s favorites. unfortunately since there werent instructions I blotched the job and we ended up just cutting it up and he took them to work. They tasted good but I couldnt get them to come out of the pan in the computer shape. I’m dissapointed about that.

Unfortunately for Dean we had a very busy day. He and Caleb went to preschool, Dean stayed to fulfill our coop duties. While they were there Bo and I went to the lab for 2 hours to get my glucose tolerance test, blah! We picked them up from school, came home grabbed lunch then Dean went to the gym, the mva and the grocery store while I baked and decorated two cakes. (3, one died, I tried to use a new cake mold) We had little time to get much else done before heading to our life group(bible study for those who dont know those terms). We got in after 10 and had laundry to put away and a messy house to clean. Fun day, I would have hated it if it was my birthday. Dean didnt mind, except he had a huge migraine.

Today seems to be almost as equally as busy. I think all week has been busy, we’ve had something to do every day and night this week. I”m just now feeling like I’m catching up on laundry and housework. I’m beginning to feel very overwhelmed by the house and kids and our social obligations. it doesnt take much, I think adding in the gym has eaten up a lot of time too that we didnt have before. I think things wouldnt be that bad if I wasnt suffering from migraines and fatigue all of the time, but thus is my life.

Well the baby has been asleep for almost 4 hours and that’s odd for him so I think I’ll wake him or else he might be up all night. oooh the hubby’s home early too! yeah!! now we can make it to that 6 pm kid birthday party on time….wohoo!
