My birthday was different this year. There was no cake. I guess I shouldn't complain; I'm 42 years old. But I had to run around and do errands. First, my friend, Missy, called to wish me a happy birthday. We had planned to celebrate by going to a movie, as well as having dinner at Golden Corral because they offered me a coupon for a free meal on my birthday. Mom had answered the phone and told Missy that I have a family too and my family would like to celebrate with me. I got so upset! My mother was so selfish - I didn't mind when she told me that I had to take her to her doctor's appointment, but when she said that I had to take her to Indiana for her own selfish habit, I got furious. That was no celebration at all! And nobody had anything planned for me when I got home either. Second, when I did take Mom to the chiropractor, his office was closed when we got there, meaning that Mom got confused as to what time her appointment was. She thinks maybe it's a good thing since she has been hurting from the last couple of treatments. Third, I had to go home to rest only to take my Mom all the way to Indiana. I have more compassion on her these days, and thank God He has opened her eyes and put a desire in her heart to go to meetings so that she won't go anymore. So when I got home, I wanted to shop for some cake-decorating necessities to make my grandnephew a cake for his birthday. So I went to Wal-Mart and bought some Wilton products. Afterwards, I decided to call my sister, who was at her daughter's house, and go over to keep her company while she watched her grandson (my grandnephew). However, my sister did give me a birthday present. I told her she didn't need to wrap it, so she handed me a skirt and a matching top. It is so pretty. I just have to lose weight for it to fit me better. Then we ordered pizza and a Greek salad (of course I ordered a cheesecake, and it didn't even taste good). So Saturday was different. Sunday we celebrated my grandnephew's 4th birthday. We had the party at LaRosa's Italian Restaurant. I brought my Digital Video camcorder and had a blast taping the children and the guests. We all had salad (this time it was Italian) and pizza and cake. Although my niece made the cake, they said that I could make another cake on Monday, which is his birthday. So after the party, I went home and made DVDs from the video so I can give one each to his grandma, his mom, his dad, and his great-grandma. That took me all night up to this morning. Today I'm watching the news which is reporting about Hurricane Wilma hitting Florida. We're very intense on watching it because Mom and I are concerned about our house near the Clearwater/Tampa area. I'm praying that God/YHVH and His living Son, JESUS watch over and protect our home in Florida.
