Phew, today was a blur. I spent all morning cleaning, preparing food, making a cake. Jeff called and said he might be working late, I almost freaked out, I hadn't figured that, otherwise I would have done more cleaning during the week. You can't do too much cleaning a head of time because it's just going to get messed up again. But then he called back and said he'd get out earlier, because he has to go in to work tomorrow anyhow. So that was good, because I was on my feet from 8am and by noon I felt like I was getting no where fast. Between diaper changes, and feedings, etc. I never got out of the kitchen.

So, we team worked it, and was done by 3pm, phew. Everyone came at 4pm... but guess who. His sister is ALWAYS late. They didn't leave their house until 430pm, and they live an hour away. What idiots! Hello, we were hungry. So we ate a bunch of chips, etc. So then when they came we were full, hahaha. But the subs came out good, the noodle salad came out great, even though I made too much, but everyone took some home, so that was good. It was a good birthday party. Besides Jessica getting chocolate cake every where. She's a messy eater, when it comes to cake. My MIL kept asking why I didn't invite this one or that one... I'm only turning 31, nothing major..... my house only holds so many people...... I think we had enough people, 8 adults, and 4 kids. That's plenty. Anyone else I'm going to celebrate with, I can do another time.

By 8pm-830pm everyone was getting ready to go, they know our kids and their bedtime, Jon was letting everyone know they were too loud, he couldn't concentrate on his bottle and he was tired. And Jess was tired too, lots of excitement. Thank God they both napped today, or I would not have been able to get it all done by the time people came. My hips were killing me.

On the cake, I just wrote Happy 31st Clara. It was hard squeezing that tube of frosting. So I got the Happy 31st, and there wasn't any room for Clara, I tried squeezing it in, but it didn't fit, so I ate that part, and started over, but then I said the heck with it, it was noon and Jon needed a bottle and bed, and Jess needed lunch and bed, they both needed to get dressed, I had many other things to get done. Later I added my name in sprinkles and it worked out just fine. If I ever get my pictures uploaded maybe I'll upload some here. But it doesn't look like it tonight. I'm tired, and won't make it much longer.

His sister Cindy really spoils everyone. She got me a gift certificate to shutterfly. An entire box of paper, and black and color ink. Holy crap, she spent like at least 100 bucks. I don't understand her. I keep telling her just buy the kids something. Oh well. Plus she brought and left the stuff to make smoothies, and made me a couple apple pies, they are my favorite. Every birthday she makes them for me. I also got some money, and an itunes gift certificate.

I still can't believe I talked about those ribs for weeks and couldn't wait and then I couldn't eat much. And was burping them up all night. And today for lunch I told Jeff to eat it, I had no interest in them. And this wonderful apple pie that I brought down here to eat while I'm on the computer, I can't eat much of it. Ugh.... I hate when I feel sick! I never really was a tums fan, but I think I may have some before bed, I'm starting to get heart burn.

I think we'll take down the tree on Monday, Jeff's off, and I've had enough of it. I'm sick of yelling at a toddler and a cat to stop playing with it. Putting it away is such a pain in the butt, just as much pain as it is putting it up. But December just wouldn't be December without it. My cousin is sick so she cancelled our get together plans tomorrow night, but it's not a night project and with him working all day, I'm not tackling it myself. I think I will have a lazy day tomorrow.... and I really hope to work on uploading all my christmas pictures. I can't believe how behind I am. I'm always playing catch up.

I have been so forgetful lately. I forgot to give my cousin her pics when she was here the other day. I forgot to give Cindy's friend pics today. I forgot to ask my MIL to bring her camera today, so I could borrow it, because in January I'm calling Circuit City and giving them a piece of my mind. I can't believe how this camera has been whigging out all month. And they claimed nothing was wrong with it, they either need to fix this problem or replace it, I'm sick of turning the camera back in and being without a camera for a few weeks. Too many missed opportunities, so that's why I usually borrow my MIL camera.
