My mom baked me a cake!
The boys bought me chocolates and these amazing flowers!
Claudia over at Mom’s My Name gave me this lovely award and said some reeeeeeeeelly nice things about me! Shucks!
We got dressed up and headed out for dinner. Oh man. We went to this Italian eatery in Burnaby and the PLATTERS of pasta were enormous!!! The four cheese penne was a huge hit with Adam and Caity ate all the buns. We had a very nice time and now have a fridge FILLED with leftovers.
Are they not the the cutest couple ever???
She loooooorvs her daddy.
Anyway…..despite all that is happening in our lives…despite my poor husband spending his day rushing between me and his mom and his gran and work and so on, we managed to have a fairly nice day. Well I did anyway.
In the am we reunited with our OB/GYN who delivered Caity.   She checked me out and was very happy to see us all. So now the blood tests, ultrasounds, and peeing in cups begins in earnest.
That did put us in a good mood.
We are still in agonizing limbo with my mother in law. Despite her waking up and being taken of more and more drugs and help, they are convinced that she is not doing well and that there is no positive outcome in all of this. It is very hard to take.
So the boys are trying to spend as much time with her at the hospital as possible. Mainly because they haven’t given up on her yet. She has survived this long and we all feel that she could surprise us yet. So while the hospital is obviously looking at their watches and have stepped back from the whole keeping her alive thing, we feel we can’t just give up.
Not yet.
Today we have the Preschool Summer BBQ…with bouncy castles and musical entertainment….oh my. Â I can hardly wait.
Tomorrow night I am going to attempt to go to a movie with my best pal. Â Â This will be a novelty.
Wish me luck!
Glad you had a great birthday. Happy Belated to you from me. I tried to wish you well on Facebook yesterday, but Facebook tried to get me fired yesterday by opening infinate Internet Explorer windows one after the other (count was at 142 before I shut her down). It’s hard to hide your surfing from your boss, when windows are popping up every two seconds!
Which Italian place did you go to in Burnaby? That one on Hastings with the perpetual long line? I’ve always wanted to try that place.
Hey Kerry, I’m so glad your day continued to be good!!!! Still have my fingers crossed for your MIL to surprise those pessimistic doctors!
Happy peeing, my friend ;o) Give me a call when you get a chance!

Well, Happy Belated Birthday!
I’m sending good thoughts your way, Crunchy.
Happy birthday! I get to turn 38 next month so I’m right behind you.
Glad to hear you guys are still hanging in there. I hope your husband gets some good news on his mom soon so you guys can finally get some rest.
Happy Birthday, Baby! I am glad you had a nice day. You are such a dearheart and send you lots of love and hugs to everyone… but especially you sweetie.
And, the cake… yum that looks good.
Happy Birthday!
A belated Happy Birthday!
I’m not too far behind you, I hit 38 in October.
I love the title of your blog. I miss those days, with cheerios beneath the feet.
When mine were terribly young (3 under the age of 7), we moved into a house with tall, lovely Cypress trees. At least, I thought they were lovely until the Cypress nuts began falling. Did you know they used to make a dye from Crypress nuts? Well, you still can. Just walk around in white socks in your front yard after the nuts fall and your socks can be dyed a lovely brown shade.
No amount of bleach or Shout or whatever will lift these stains free. For several years, we all just wore spotted socks. It kinda grows on you.
Happy 38th Birthday!
Happy belated birthday!!!
