When will it end...

Life seems so dull and boring at times and then there are times like this where everything hits at once. Sometimes it feels like I have all the time in the world and I am so bored with life and then there are times that I have so much to do and not enought time to do it.

Early last week there wasn't much to do but as the week ended it all caught up to me.

Friday was my birthday. I got up and was getting ready for work and I thought my husband had forgotten that it was my birthday. I was really starting to get ticked. I was already to leave the house mad at him and went to get my keys out of my purse and he had tucked a card inside. He said he wanted me to think he forgot. Earlier in the week he had given me my gift but I will get back to that in the next post. I got to work and my desk had been decorated to the nines. I had a giant balloon and a huge arrangement of roses waiting for me. The remainder of the day was spent answering the question "Is TODAY you birthday?" I wanted to pin something on my shirt that said "yes, in fact, today really is my birthday." Anyhow, after work my husband took me to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner. That was awesome.

Saturday we were supposed to go to a Brewer game. This was a memorial game in honor of the 1 year anniversary of my Grandma's death. It sounds morbid but it was exactly what she would have wanted. I was supposed to make an appetizer. I tried out a recipe from Pampered Chef. It was some sort of Zesty crab salad in cucumber boats. That took a lot longer than I had expected but they turned out great. We had to stop at hubby's bosses house to let out their dogs since they were out of town for the weekend. We got to the game a little late but still had plenty of time to have fun. We all got t-shirts that said Katie's Kids est. 1918. They were adorable and very fitting. During the game they had our group name (Katie's Kids) up on the scoreboard welcoming us to the game. That was neat. We left the game early but that's a story I'd rather not rehash.

Sunday was my nephews 6th birthday party. It was a big deal because they had to cancel his party last year because of everything that happened with my Grandma so my nephew was really looking forward to this. I was in charge of making the birthday cake. It was a bug theme so I made a huge cake with a caterpillar on top. I will post pictures at a later time of a number of different cakes I have made over the years. Everyone loved the cake. Again we were late but this time it was all my fault because I had not planned well for the time it would take to make the cake. We had gotten my nephew a spiderman pinball game. He loved that so much. You really could see the excitement in the kids face. It was a really nice party.

We had plans for almost everyday this week and so far nothing has gone as planned. I was supposed to go to the Taste of Wisconsin at the Grand Avenue mall on onday night but that was listed wrong on their calendar and really isn't happening until Thursday night. That worked out well because I could clean up our messy house that I hadn't been able to touch all weekend. Tonight we were supposed to go to someone's work anniversary party but we didn't because hubby was too tired after work. He must have been tired because he fell asleep about 7:00 and hasn't been up since.

Tomorrow I am supposed to go to 2 friends houses. First I am going to L's house to pick up a Stampin' Up catalog from her and then I am going to M's house with some people from work just to sit and talk and be friendly. Thurday we are doing some boat thing on the river going from bar to bar. I have no idea what to expect but I hear it should be a fun time.

I will tell you more how the week pans out as it happens.
