Today is my Birthday, and I don’t think I would normally write a post about me on my Birthday but this year I will.

I woke up this morning at about 7:20, not because I wanted to, you see we have the day off from school which means I have the day off from work. So as I said I woke up about 7:20 only because my cat couldn’t get into my bedroom, the door must have shut after David left for work. So if she can’t get in she howls like she’s dying, then she starts to scratch at the door until she is heard and I let her in, so instead of waiting and hopeing she will go away I just got up and let her in. OK, So she’s in, then she jups up on the bed which for her is normal except instead of finding a nice spot at the end of the bed she found a nice spot right on top of me, all I could do was lye there, see she is very old and all I could think was that maybe she was cold or maybe she knew it was my Birthday and she wanted to lay with me I don’t know but from the moment she finally got comfortable ( and some of you may have had this happen to you before) I wanted to get up, I didn’t want to lay there anymore. So I got a small pillow to prop up under her so she wouldn’t fall as soon as I got out of bed and I slither out from under her with out her even knowing. ( Man I’m good!). SO NOW  I’M UP!  And as I am laying ther in bed before I get up, I hear the coffee maker alarm go off. YEA! David made me coffee! AWESOME!  So I go over to the coffee that my dear husband has made, I pour my coffeemate creamer ( Cinnamon Vanilla flavor) into my cup and begin to pour my coffee, only it’s not coffee, it’s water, not even hot water, it’s cold water. He forgot to put the water into the resevoir to drip out to make nice hot coffee. So I had to dump out my now watered down creamer and pour the water into the resevoir to make my own coffee. HUM! not starting out so great.

Next Perri gets up, sings me Happy Birthday ( so sweet!), and then asks me what I want for breakfast,” WOW “I say, your going to make me breakfast? she say’s I can work the Microwave, and the toaster, what I really wanted to make you was cinnamon rolls but I can’t work the oven alone. So of course I say, “OK, lets make cinnamon rolls, I’ll turn the oven on, put them in, get them out and transfer them onto the plate”, HUH, who’s making who breakfast?! then she icing’s them and we sit down and enjoy  our breakfast.

Perri then says, what do you wnat to do today, I’m thinking I just want to get out of the house so I don’t have to clean. So she tells me that Daddy gave me mony to take you out to the movies and to lunch. I say “Great! let’s go!” so we get ready and start to look up movies that I want to see, only I’m going with perri so none of the movies I really want to see are any we can actually see because she is 8 years old and I don’t think she would want to see “Changeling” or any other rated R movie, or would I want her to. So I look up times to go see the new Madagascar movie. We head out to the mall to see our rated G movie for my birthday. We see our movie and I must say it was pretty cute, and we head into the mall for lunch, only she’s not hungry because she at too many Milk Duds and popcorn. “Darn” I say to myself, we should have had lunch first! so instead we head in to Sears because We needed a new water filter for our refrigerator, might as well get it now since we are here. Then we wander into the clothing section…..LIttle girls clothing section. pick out a really cute pair of jeans and a nightgown. The nightgown is for Pajama day at school which Perri says is this coming Friday, well it’s going to be 100 degrees on friday so we should get something that is cool to wear. All her existing nightgowns are not school appropriate, meaning they are too short or show too much to wear to school and for mom to be comfortable with it. So we get this cute nightgown only to find out that pajama day isn’t until the 20th….All I have to say is it better be hot that day, because she’s wearing the nightgown we just bought!

We finsh at Sears and head over to Bath and Body works, my sister wanted some new stuff from there for Christmas so I figure get it now while the selection is still good. The entire time we were in the store Perri never shut up….I  mean this girl talked the entire time, I could hardly think straight. I finally had to tell her to ZIP IT! I need to think!  I calmly got what I needed and left, Happy that I found what I wanted in the flavor I wanted and now I don’t think I will need to go back. Thank goodness and if I do go back I will for sure be alone!

So then Perri tells me she is now hungry but not for lunch, she’s hungry for Wetzels Pretzels……That was lunch. Need I say more!?

So were off for home, my hands were getting tired of carrying the bags and I didn’t want to walk around anymore answering the question ” What store are we going to now momma?”

 Honestly Perri was great, all day, she held doors for me and paid for the movie all by herself and the pretzels. She was GREAT! I actually had a nice day, it may not have been all about me but it was pretty close and me and Perri had a fun girls day out.

Happy Birthday to me!
