YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!!!!! Long Post...sorry

Thanks so much for the wonderful birthday wishes!! I REALLY needed it! It has been a really trying day and I didn't get home until 8:45! I spent the whole day yesterday at the hospital with my friend that got a tummy tuck and boobie lift...She looks great... I started the day by realizing I have screwed up my checking account and am WAY overdrawn....My paycheck was short, and I have bills out the ass. My license expired today and I can't get my car tag, cuz I can't get that DAMN check engine light to go out. I am required once a year to take an insurance course update that lasts three days. You have to take the course by your birthday month, or you LOSE the designation you killed yourself for. When was the only course this month? YUP...on my birthday. Sooooo... from 8am until 5:30pm I was listening to some old man drone on and on about insurance... And the self pity party begins.... Then.. I'm driving home, and my dad calls and wants me to stop by...lots of traffic to get to his house, only to find out that it was a ploy by my youngest son to keep me out of the house... I finally left dad's at 7pm, and was on my way home, when my friend Jeannie calls and wants me to stop by.... You guessed it! Christopher wasn't through! Finally, I left and got home... Let me tell you what he had done... First, the house is spotless. All dishes done, all trash out, living room, dining room & kitchen clean. Floors vaccumed. Candles lit..house smells great. There is multi colored garland draped all around the ceiling fan. There is a big "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" banner hanging over the stairs. Then, there is a notebook with pictures in it.. On the cover is a "BIRTHDAY TIMES" page that tells all the stuff that happened on my birthday back in dark ages. Inside, on a piece of notebook paper, he drew a page that says "Baby Momma"...and there are about 3 pages of me when I was a little girl. Then another page of notebook paper that says "TEENAGE YEARS - PARTY" and pics of me and my friends from high school. THe next one says "All Grown Up" and they are my wedding pictures (I have to hand it to him..there's not ONE picture of the ex-butthole in the wedding pics..they are of me and my parents and my best friend) Finally, there are many pages of me and my kids and friends and family. DIDN'T HE KICK ASS??? This is my 14 yr old, and he did all this by himself. My oldest had me a really cool card, and flowers and a balloon. Then I turn on my computer and there's all my Georgia Girls wishing me a Happy Birthday!! Between my kids and you guys...all of the crappy part of today has totally melted away. I sent my friend a link to the board, so she could see how awesome ya'll are! YA'LL ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!! *Pity Party Over..remembering how thankful for everything I should be!* -Tami (Klesko on tv in 10 Minutes!!! YEAH BABY! HUBBA HUBBA!)
