A birthday in isolation wasn’t bad! I missed being with friends and family, but heard from them nonetheless. I decided to make myself something to go with morning coffee, and I wanted to try a yeast bread again, so cinnamon rolls it was.
Very happy with my bake. :)
The best stretch of sleep I get in a night is from about 615-800am, as long as one of the big boys doesn’t come in and whisper
Augustine: can we watch tv?
Me: no.
Augustine: you’re mean!
OR
Lewis: i need you to come downstairs and help me.
Me: there’s another adult in this house that is already awake. Ask him.
Lewis: never mind.
OR
Elias: mom. Mom. Mom!
Me: what?!
Elias: I’m up. And I went potty already.
Me: good to know. Go cuddle daddy.
But today everyone left me alone to sleep and I slept so hard that I was sure it was a whopping 830am! But nope, only 745am.
I also woke up to birthday wishes via text from a few friends. It’s always nice to be remembered.
Logan took Levi right away, which is such a nice break after feeding him every other hour all night and cuddling with him every second of the night. He told me to go downstairs.
There was a sign that said “go into the right door” and the big boys popped out and said “happy birthday!” They also set a very nice breakfast table and WAITED FOR ME to eat their cinnamon rolls!
The rest of the day was fairly normal, and we ordered Jimmy Johns for lunch. It’s a huge gift to me when I don’t have to think hard about what to feed to everyone.
We played outside for the afternoon and then my parents brought dinner for the boys, gifts, and a cake for me. Logan and I ordered dinner from The Oven.
Carrot cake with dairy free frosting. It was SO good, and I don’t even like cake much.
More birthday greetings were received throughout the day...texts, emails, phone calls, cards, coffee, sparkling wine...and it was all really nice!
Oh, and logan let me put in an IKEA order of things we’ve been needing for a while. So nothing specifically for me on my birthday but IKEA is always fun. :)
