The big day
Things didn't start off so hot. I decided to go ahead and go to Park City but by the time I got the babies ready and loaded and figured out how to work the double stroller there wasn't time to go to Park City and still get back in time for lunch with my sisters. So I decided to take Talysa and drive to Fashion Place mall. I wanted to get some jeans and look at diaper bags. I had a headache but didn't think much of it, just grabbed some Advil and a Pepsi on my way out of town.
By the time we got to the mall I had a raging migraine which the Advil didn't touch. I'd also wasted a half hour looking for the Nordstrom Rack before realizing it was nowhere near where we were. The babies, who'd slept beautifully all the way up, were awake and hungry and screaming. I fed them quickly, loaded them up, and went into Nordstrom. I had a whole 15 minutes to shop and they fussed the whole time. My head was killing me and the whole thing was a joke.
I drove to my mother-in-law's and left Talysa and the twins with her while I drove to meet my sisters for lunch at The Old Spaghetti Factory. Lunch was yummy and I always enjoy spending time with my sisters. Tara gave me a beautiful picture frame with little charms for photos of my children. Chalise is going to make me a bracelet. Marcee gave me a lightweight water bottle, MP3 case, anatomically correct running socks, and a belt to attach everything. It meant so much to me that my sisters know me so well. I left lunch feeling upbeat and happier, even though my head still hurt.
I went to the mall and bought some jeans and my favorite Aveda lotion. I drove back to pick up the girls and then came home.
Phil's fabulous gift to me was that he'd cleaned out the room we used to use for homeschooling and now use for extra storage and made it into an exercise room. He bought me a TV player and DVD player for my workout videos, weighted balls to use with my
Walk Away the Pounds routine, a treadmill (yippee!), a weight bench and weights, and mats for the floor. I am so psyched. He set everything up today and I can't wait to get started.
At night my sister watched the twins and Talysa watched the other kids so that we could go out to eat at Rumbi's Grill. Dinner was delicious, although I got sick afterwards. The long day was taking its toll on me and my migraine was still with me. Phil and I went to Best Buy to look at MP3 players and then to Barnes & Noble and the grocery store. All in all it was a very happy birthday. :)
