We are going to start this blog with Friday. I washed my cell phone in my jeans. I was on the phone when I got out of the car. My hands were full, so rather than throw my phone in my purse, I put it in my pocket. I do it alot at work, but generally I keep it in my purse. I was sitting in my chair and suddenly got a sinking feeling in my stomach. I jumped up and ran into the laundry room. Sure enough, I opened the washer in mid-cycle and there was the cell phone. This is the second expensive electronic item that I have managed to destroy in the last month. First the vacuum, now the cell phone. I made a comment about the dishwasher the other day and Craig said "watch it, don't break the diswasher". Hopefully, I am done breaking things. Then again, we have all heard the saying that things happen in three's.
We made it another year! For those of you who may not know, my Dad and I have the same birthday: September 4th is the Lucky Day!
It was a weekend full of celebration. I love it when my birthday falls on a holiday. It lasts the whole weekend. I had the day off work on Friday. My mom was off too and we took Conor to the Dr. For his Hepatitis A booster shot. It is getting harder and harder for Conor for shots. I think I have discovered a trick, though. Here is my secret. I take someone with me. I do the holding, so I am the bad guy. Then after the shot is done and over, Conor goes to the person who didn't hold him down for some much needed TLC. He only screamed for a second or two. Then all he wanted to talk about was his "owie" and how much it hurt. To take his mind off things, we went to McDonald's for lunch, then to the mall to play and see the puppies.
Saturday, we spent most of the day at home. We visited Craig's cousin for a bit. Then we went out for our birthday dinner. My Dad and I chose Texas Roadhouse. Great steak, but hostess sat us in the crappiest place. The booth was too small for 8 of us, so we ended up at two tables across from eachother. After dinner we were all too full for cake. We saved it for Sunday.
Moving on to Sunday... We all went to breakfast that morning, then on to Target. Target had a sale on the boy's jeans and t-shirts and Conor needed some for the cooler weather. The rest of Sunday we just hung out and my Dad cooked dinner for us. Then we had birthday cake!!
I promise I am not tired in this picture.
On Monday, since it was a holiday, we all got to spend yet another day together. We decided to go ahead any buy Conor's Halloween costume. I am always afraid that we will wait too long and they will be out of what we want. This year he will be Superman. He tried it on today, but not long enough for pictures. That is ok, we will save the pictures of Halloween.
On to the weather. It has been raining here since Friday! It was much needed, much welcome rain. I don't know exactly how much it was something like 3-4 inches I think. It was a slow rain, not a downpour. It finally cleared up this evening. I am kinda sad to see it go, but at the same time I and feeling the need to some sunshine.
