It's My Birthday and I'll Cry if I Want to!

But I don't want to cry. I just want to be fully awake and the coffee isn't working. At least, I'm not sick like I was last year. I was so sick, I just stayed home all day. That's not a real fun way to spend a birthday....but it got better because my mom and my daughter each brought me a cake. My daughter stayed and played board games with us, too. That was fun.
Today, though, I wanted to go to church, sing my heart out with a son on either side of me...then go get lunch with my parents....then go ROLLER SKATING! I love roller skating.BUT I JUST CAN'T SEEM TO WAKE UP!
That's my fault. I know. I shouldn't have stayed up so late last night.
I took the boys to Science City because Zach wanted that the most for his birthday and I'd been telling him for months that I would. We didn't take anyone with us, though. It's a good thing, because it cost almost ten bucks a ticket, now! And that's without a show in the planetarium. It's a good thing we took our own food.
And even with Chris' great navigational skills, we still ended up getting turned around when it came time to go home. It was the road construction and some big event that attracted lots of traffic and lots of pedestrians that mixed us up. It didn't help that I stopped to get gas at a service station on the way home, then ended up going back the way I came and had to turn around in the toll booth after going five miles more.
Chris just said, frustrated..."MOM! I can't even look at book for a few seconds without you getting lost!"
At least, he was reading the Bible I brought with us!
I had made sure to pack everything we might need in an emergency...extra food, a blanket, a first aid kid, extra clothes...even though we were only going an hour away. I thought we might end up spending the night at my brothers' but we didn't end up going over there. I would have gotten more lost.
And the lady at the toll booth told me people do that all the time. That made me feel a little better. What I thought was kind of cool was that I had put a quarter in my pocket before we left home and that's just how much I had to pay when I accidently drove back to the toll booth. I didn't even know why I had stuck that quarter in my pocket.

yw, btw, I was wondering if you looked up deplin (medical food) or L-Methylfolate? It's helped me alot. Not everyone breaks down folate, so it doesn't cross into the blood-brain barrier. It is helping ppl with alzheimers. I use it for healing from fibromyalgia, and it also lowered my colesterol dramaticaly. It's a brain healer. Blessings, R and T

I haven't looked it up, yet. I can't even see a doctor til I get some kind of coverage. It seems like I can't do much of anything right now.
