Tim's Birthday

Yesterday was my husband's birthday. It was hectic, like every day is with 9 kids. We ran around getting his gifts and his cake. I decided to get him a watch the women at the jewelry counter in JC Penney's were rude I believe it was just because I was standing there with kids. I guess they thought cause I had kids I couldn't possibly have had enough money to purchase a watch from the counter, not that it was even that much. She takes it out and says " You know it is $89" I was like "Yeah, that's fine, I'll take it" she just said " Ok" This was after being ignored for about 15 minutes. I know you may be sitting there thinking why didn't you just go elsewhere. Well I didn't because I had my heart set on this particular watch.

My day had actually begun early in the morning. With this awful gastroparesis. I was sick all morning. Tim had one wish for his birthday, a real egg roll. I know it sounds funny, but it is actually a hard thing to find in Vegas unless you know where to get it. We have been to 3 chinese restaurants that actually had spring rolls not egg rolls. So I started calling places which was almost comical. They would start off with "Take out or Delivery" I was like "Actually I have a question about egg rolls........" I am sure when I finally found NY Chinese they though I was nuts. I described the dimensions of a real egg roll and confirmed that it was a pork egg roll. We ended up getting chinese for everyone so that came close to the national debt, lol.

By the time everything was said and done we ended up eating around 9 and had ice cream around 10. I was exhausted. I felt bad for Tim because he ended up doing the clean up himself, the kids were not to helpful. Of course they helped put away the left overs but that was about it.

Today, I have been sick all day. My back has also been killing me. I have been in bed all day till I decided to get up to write this note. Brendan and Logan are home sick today, of course Logan I think became sick because he heard how sick Brendan was, you know one of those sicknesses. Well hope all my readers are safe and well, till tomorrow. Take care.
