Now, this post may sound a little childish and whiny...  so here is your heads up if you have a low tolerance for that sort of thing! 

Yesterday was my 38th birthday.  It started off like a normal Sunday morning...  VERY chaotic getting everyone ready for church.  I had NO problem with that.  I am a mom. It's my job.  I'm just used to it!

My friend, Diana, even brought over a freshly baked batch of "Monkey Bread" and a chai tea for me!  YUM!

I ran to Safeway on the way to church to get a gift for my Pastor's wife...  my birthday twin!  It was about this time that I started to feel yucky.  I thought it was just from eating too much Monkey Bread, but I am not sure.  I need to find out if she used anything "sugar free" in it.  I am allergic to aspartame.

We got to church on time and the sermon was great! 

I was disappointed that Pastor's wife wasn't there, but I gave her gift to Pastor to give to her!

It was about

When we got home, I changed my clothes and cleaned up the kitchen (breakfast mess) before Malynda and Diana came and picked me up to take me out to lunch!

We met another friend, Tanya, at one of my favorite restaurants (A Victorian Tea Room!)  Normally, this would have totally "hit the mark" with me, but by the time we sat down I was feeling VERY sick.  I didn't want them to know so I didn't say so, but I nothing on the menu sounded good.  I just wanted to go to sleep! 

I ate a little bit of my lunch, but just couldn't force myself to finish it and got a "To Go" box.  My friends gave me some nice presents: a photo album (then I realized I forgot my camera and they asked me what in the world was I going to blog with no picture...LOL!), some wonderfully fragrant Christmas tea that I can't wait to try, and some money for a jacket that I was wanting to order! 

On the way home, my hubby called and he had company over at our house (Diana's hubby and her 4 children) and wanted us to all have dinner together!  Normally, that would have been the perfect ending to what should have been the perfect day, but I really couldn't do it.  I finally told Diana how sick I was feeling and that I just needed to go to sleep.

She convinced me to go take a nap at her house, because both of our families were at MY house and she knew that if I went home not only would it be noisy there, but I would start cleaning and working and wouldn't take care of myself!  (She is so sweet and thoughtful!)

I thought I would not be able to sleep at her house, but I was wrong.  I was out like a light!  I woke up right about the time her hubby arrived home with their children and then Di drove me the 2 miles back to my house.

My hubby had made some of my favorite foods for supper:  homemade French Onion soup (he got the idea b/c that is what Di was making for HER family and he KNOWS I love it!) and he marinated some flank steak in lime juice and soy sauce and make green beans and a salad! 

I ate it and it was delicious and I lazed around for the rest of the day.

I had a day of love and care from all, plus phone calls from my friend (also named Tanya, who lives in Illinois), my mom, my sister and my dad.  I got an email from my dear friend, Kimberly and cards and hugs and lots of attention from my children, but I am feeling a little sorry for myself because I could not truly enjoy it with a migraine!  YIKES! 

Can I have a "Do-Over?"
