Women and their birthdays!

Well. Most husbands have a tremendous project in store when it comes to planning their wife’s birthday. Whether it’s planning a party or a romantic evening out. But they know that they’d better plan SOMETHING, or as my husband said in a previous entry – “the world stops!”
I see myself as pretty LOW maintenance…for my birthday the last few years we go do our Xmas shopping together and get most all of it done in one day. We return home to drop off the goods and then go back out to grab a bite to eat, just the two of us. No reservations required, no dressing up, no advance thought necessary. Pretty simple I think.

Not only is it simple – but I even arrange the babysitting – so all he has to do is show up and shop!

This year as I have the past few, I arranged the babysitting for the day after Thanksgiving.

I told him about this this evening and he looked straight at me and said, “I HATE THAT DAY!” Myself, being stunned, asked why.

He answered, “Cause you don’t let ME buy ANYTHING!”

I couldn’t imagine what he meant – I said, “The people at Toys’R Us ask to go to our house for Xmas, we walk out of there with so much stuff! What are you talking about?”

Then the truth came to light…..he answered, “NO, you don’t let me buy anything for ME that day!”

lol

I think I might try the high maintenance approach and see what happens.

Just in case you need to know

Part of my Google start page has a ‘How-To’ Section.

This came up today: How to throw a Javelin

The javelin toss, a popular track and field sport in the Olympic games, involves hurling a metal-tipped spear as far as possible. It’s not that hard to throw a javelin, but it takes know-how and practice to throw a javelin properly.

Click the link above if you want to know how to do it. I’m not going to spoil it for you.

and of course:

WARNING: Don’t let people stand to your side or along angles in front of the path of your throw. Keep any onlookers behind you.

You know, cause, you never know when you might need to know that…

Day 2 of Home Alone with the kids

Day 2 of Home Alone with the kids. Well I guess that really isn’t fair to say. Today I had lots of help.

My mom took this kids for the day so that I could work and keep my job. Both of those are pluses. Mom’s are wonderful, everyone should have one.

She showed up around 8:45am, we covered a few things, made sure I knew what was going on. That she had a meeting in the afternoon and that I’d meet them at their house for dinner. (yeah! one more night of frozen pizza rolls avoided!). Spaghetti at moms.

So off I ran to do the horse and on to work.

Work was an average day, nothing to complain about, ran a little late, but not too bad. But I needed to run back and do the horse after work. Of course this is in the opposite direction of my parents. I took the time to take photos of Cisco’s eye. A small detail I forgot to mention to my mother. So, they didn’t wait for me to eat. 🙁

I *think* he’s making progress. The vet says we want to see the pupil that’s sticking out turn pink. Of course I didn’t know this so when I was there this didn’t look good to me. I know I couldn’t blink or deal with something sticking out of my eye a 1/4 of an inch. But he seems very happy at this point in time.

No harm no foul. I got there and the food was still warm.

Dad and I chatted about his future website needs we got that covered, and I rounded up the children.

Off to home. Maria was exceptionally un-Maria like, until we got home, that’s when she kind of exploded over Molly being in the bathroom when she wanted in there. Never mind the fact that we have another one downstairs. She was over-tired and over sugared I think. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.

Currently it’s 9:55pm and they are in bed. I think I’ll go watch Survivor and chill.
