Wonderful Birthday....

I had a wonderful Birthday! I slept in for and hour or so in the morning. When I got out of the shower the kids were all doing their school work and the house was quiet and in order......wow....things always go a bit better when Dad is home and no one was expecting it. My hubby took me into town for lunch.....we went to Mucho Gusto's. This was a great little Mexican restaraunt and the food was sooooo good. I got a tostada and a strawberry mango smoothie. The smoothie wasn't much of a smoothie it was more like a slushy.......no fruit in it at all.....but it was good. We ate outside and both of us had a nice lunch......we hope to go back there sometime. After lunch he took me shopping....I got some much needed new makeup and some jeans that fit and aren't falling off of me.
The kids were all glad to see me when we got back they all had things for me. My oldest son(15) that is still home made me a nice card with a poem in it about how much he loves me. I cried. :) My youngest son(13) made me a card with a coupon for house work help next time I am too tired. And he made me a large coupon for a lunch date. My daughter(8) made me a necklace and earrings and gave me some dark chocolates and a beautiful card she made....she is very creative like me!
After all that we were off to the TEST! I was really nervous to start but it went really well....I had a great testing partner. It was very physically challenging as usual but I didn't get hurt and I think I did well. I will get official results on Monday. When we got home we had ice cream to celebrate my birthday....no cake just ice cream with a piece of waffle cone on it and whipped cream on top. Yummmmmmy! I had 2 big scoops!
I did great on my eating and felt really good yesterday, and drank lots of water! Today I did not do as good....it's never good when you get so busy you forget to eat and then you think you're starving. And I had ice cream again today!
