Pluggin' Along

Things have been pretty status quo around here…

Last Thursday was my daughter's 17th birthday.  17.  Wow….  Unreal to think that she'll be out of high school and on her own next summer.  I just can't believe it.  It seems like I was reading her stories and making up stories just yesterday.  Princess "E" and the Queen Mommy living in a castle and picking pretty flowers in the meadow… :)  She loved those stories…  Oh dear, I'm tearing up and I'm at work…Oy! 

Any who…  So we went and dropped her prom dress for alterations, picked up stuff for her party she had on Friday and then went out to dinner for Mexican.  It was a nice evening together. :)

Friday was my birthday.  I worked a half day and then spent the afternoon with Paul.  I got to his house and he had a "Happy Birthday" banner hanging in the living room.  Awwww… :)  He got me a bracelet from Brighton and an outfit from Express.  Very nice!  We went out to lunch and then back to his house and relaxed before each of us had to go do our "kid" thing. 

Friday evening had Paul running around carting his son and friends to laser tag.  It had me picking up pizza and watching DVR'd shows while my daughter had about 10 of her friends over for pizza, snacks, cake… 

Saturday I called around to find the right length pants at an Express and then went and exchanged them (right size, but unfortunately Paul inadvertently bought Short vs Reg length pants).  I then did a little Happy Bday to Me shopping - three pairs of really cute flip flops, a purse and some CK cropped pants.  Paul wasn't feeling well Sat night, so I took him some chicken soup and gator aide…  He was all cuddled up on the couch - I heated up the soup, poured some gator aide, got him all drugged up and then headed back home.

Sunday, after sleeping for 11 hours, I got up and did my grocery shopping.  My sis stopped by for some Bed Bath and Beyond coupons (I horde them - gave her about 10 and still had several left!).  My daughter's boyfriend came over and I took them out for lunch to Red Robin since I had coupons for free burgers, then we headed over to Paul's since I had some stuff for his kids.  A Piston's hoodie for "S", his middle daughter, bday present for his son and a candy bar for his youngest daughter (can't have nothing for one kid!).  Paul still not feeling well, but was taking "S" to a Piston game…and then felt extremely bad after the game.

Slept like crap Sunday night and barely made it into work.  Paul still feeling really bad.  Made it through day, then picked up some popsicles, Vernor's, soup and Paul's mom's mail…dropped the stuff at Paul's…then went home and sat…  Got to bed early and still slept really bad… 

Feeling kind of blah today, but better.  I swear I have never been so sick as I have the last few months.  Even my boss said something to me today.  I wonder if it's sympathy sickness???  Who knows, but I don’t like it.

Overall things are pretty status quo and just plugging along… ;)
