Okay so I'm not having the best Thursday today.
Baby girl's birthday was yesterday. We had a splendid time. We started the day off by eating at Olive Garden. This is our annual birthday luncheon for Baby Girl. She loves the place. We really only go on her birthday. Baby Girl and I shared the baked ziti. OMFG! That was damn near the best ziti I've eaten! Bear had a pizza. We all shared a slice of their lemon cake...delish!
After the bellies were full, we proceeded to Toys R Us for BG to get her shopping on! It was so sweet. Bear went to customer service and told them it was BG birthday and they announced it over the intercom! Baby Girl barely noticed. LOL. But both Bear and I got misty eyed! We're such softies!
With her toy shopping done, we headed to Discovery Mills to Lunar Golf so she and Bear could play putt-putt. I do not, I repeat, do not play putt-putt. I have no patience or tolerance for it. I kept score. BG had a blast, so that's all that matters.
With our shirts still a-glow, we then went to Justice so BG could get her fashion on! She bought a few tops and shorts for Summer. She looks super cute in them.
Once her shopping spree was over, we headed home and spent the rest of the night just relaxing.
So what does all of our birthday activities have to do with me having a crappy Thursday some of you may be wondering...well of course, I'm going to tell you! I recounted the story of BG's birth to her yesterday. Many know the story and how very blessed I am to have my baby girl. The night before I laid in bed thinking, "what if all of this is a dream? What if 9 years ago my baby had died. What if Dr. G wasn't in time? and now I'm insane and I'm going to be sane in the morning and I'll have no BG." I know, morbid thinking, but that's how my brain rolls sometimes. But thankfully I woke up sane and my baby girl was here safe and sound. Again, I told her birth story to her. Thinking of her birth and how my mom was there and now my parents are not here another year to celebrate with us and to see how wonderful my baby girl is just breaks my heart. So there you have it! It's not often I let the fact my parents are gone affect me, but today I just couldn't control it.
Bear was my rock, as usual. He never lets me down. I really don't know what I did in my past life to deserve him but I'm glad I did it! No one would ever complete me like Bear. As I've said time and time again, BG is my heart, Bear is my soul. We are a rocking family! Tomorrow will be a better day...you can bet a bottom dollar on it!
