Baby's birthday has come and gone. I tried my best to make his special, even though my birthday sucked. I started the festivities with baking an oreo cake with cream cheese icing. I was going to go cake boss and make his cake into a bass clef, but I knew Caus would be mad at me for wasting cake, especially oreo cake. haha. Next, I wrote 27 things that I love about him on tiny pieces of paper and stuck each one into a green balloon (his favorite color) and put them in his closet. On his closet I wrote, "Happy Birthday Baby! I love..." so when he opened each balloon, he would find something that I love about him.
On his birthday, I had to work, which sucked, but when I got off I took him to Nathan's hot dog stand for dinner. Then, his friends and family started coming over to hang out and chill. By this time, I was tired and a little irritated that I didn't really get any alone time with him, but trying to remember not to be selfish, I did my best to enjoy the party. As his birthday presents, I got him a new strap and strap locks for his bass. : )
The next day, it was one of my best friend's birthday. Already tired, I knew I had to be there for her. She supported me and literally took care of me when I couldn't. We met up at Stars and Strikes, which I've been wanting to go to FOREVER, to bowl! Here are some shots from the night.
On another note, I started teaching the extended day reading club after school on Wednesdays. I love that they thought of me for this position. The principal and the curriculum teacher both love me, which is always a GREAT thing, especially when you need a job for next school year. But back to the reading club, half of the kids are the ones I pull during the day for reading anyway, so they were ecstatic that I was their teacher. I love to see my students excited about learning and happy to have me as their teacher. It makes me feel appreciated, which I don't always feel in life. Plus, this will add a little extra money to my check, which we can always use. I really dislike living paycheck to paycheck and never having money to go out in do fun things or buy new clothes. Don't get me wrong, I am VERY, VERY thankful that the Lord provides the necessary things for us, but a little extra cushion is always nice. :)For the super bowl, Caus and I hung out with Lauren and Mike, really good friends of ours. They really mean a lot to me because they were there for me when Caus and I were having tough times. We've all been so busy, so that was the first time we've seen them since last year! It was nice to catch up and see their gorgeous new house!
Last week, I had a pretty severe allergic attack. It started on my neck, but progressively got worse. My throat started to close and the rash traveled from my neck to my chest and part of my back. I was so frustrated at Caus because I was trying to call him, but his phone was dead, and he had my car, so I was stuck at the school. I almost called 911, but I knew I couldn't afford the ambulance ride, so I just took a benadryl and took my chances. Luckily, I was okay, but it took the whole night and part of the next day for me to recover from this reaction. I don't know what caused the reaction. I can only make guesses, which I think I've narrowed it down to the soap at the school. Ever since then, I've been a lot more mellow with life. It is so scary to come that close to death. Not that I'm scared of death, I'm just not ready. Even as many times as I think I don't want to be here anymore, I'm really not ready to die. Plus, I still need to fulfill my purpose in life. :)
