I think I finally know what it feels like to have all the drama gone from a relationship. It only took seven and a half years of marriage!
Every year on my birthday, I'm disappointed about something because my expectations are... well, the thing is, I don't even know at all what my expectations are until I'm dissatisfied with the way things turned out.
The night of October 3rd, Stuart was telling me about how he was going to wake up with the kids in the morning (a rareeee rare rarity) and make me breakfast and go out and get me a coffee at Peet's (My favorite coffee place by us) and, honestly, the thought was super sweet and something that I may have swooned over even just last year, but thinking about breakfast made me wanna barf, and I've been waking up at 6 at the latest most days anyway (yesterday was actually 5 am) so I didn't want him to wake up with the kids anyway! And I'm only allowed to have one cup of coffee a day, and you can bet it's going to be right when I wake up... and from my own coffee maker.
And then he wanted to take me somewhere nice for my birthday, and the only thing I could imagine stomaching was french fries, so I insisted that we just go to Red Robin (and I had a free birthday burger).
Not only these things, but I was so tired when we got home at NINE THIRTY that I passed out and he whispered how he would just give me the gift (that I didn't even think about getting) tomorrow.
Yup.
This is truly drama free.
I'm guessing it's purely because I'm pregnant, but I was pretty proud of myself for having a good day yesterday haha
I was just so thankful not to feel super barfy yesterday morning that I was in the best mood all day long and had a great day with the kids. I took them to Ike's, the best sandwich place in San Jose for a free birthday sandwich that they devoured. One funny thing that happened at Ike's: There was a super pregnant lady there, and Joey went right up to her and pointed and said in an amazed voice, "Mommy! Is she real?"
Then, the kids and I went across the street to Starbucks to get my free birthday drink (pumpkin spice latte) and I felt like I'd be too sick to drink it, so we stopped by Stuart's work right after and gave it to him.
Then we drove to the mall because I thought I might do a little shopping or something because I neverrr ever ever go shopping at a mall and the kids were in a good mood, and I was in a good mood, so I thought this would be the day to attempt it.
We ended up in a play area the whole time and the kids had the time of their life while I snuck to the soft pretzel place and got my freeeee birthday pretzel and fed it to them for second lunch. They were playing SO nicely together and I was so proud of them!
That's when I started feeling super sick and tired, so we headed home for nap time.
Frankie's nap was super short because my grandma called and I had to call her back and scream to her because she can't hear, waking up Frankie. I was a little choked about that because I was really wanting to have some quiet alone time and I blew it.
The time between her waking up, Joey waking up, and Stuart coming home, I'll admit, went by like a snail crawl, but I managed to feed them and have Joey clean up all his toys before Stuart arrived home.
I frantically cleaned the house like a cleaning Nazi for the next hour, including vacuuming, floor washing, toilet cleaning, the whole nine yards, while Stuart occupied the kids. Then we both put them to bed :)
Then, our babysitter and her boyfriend came over and watched a movie while Stuart and I had a SUPER fun evening at Red Robin! We still have so much to talk to each other (non kid related) after all this time and we had soooo much fun together. Every time we go out, it just makes me remember all the more how much I love him!!
The end.
