Birthday

A week of mixed emotions started yesterday, it was my 34th birthday and Vin went to daycare for the first time so I laughed, cried and napped. We started the day with waffles and champagne. I always like my birthdays to have lots of sugar and alcohol and if you can combine the two ie: champagne then all the better! Then we went to the library for Baby Bounce - a class geared for infants to 2 year olds where you sing things like the itsby bitsy spider etc. Yes he is only 3 months old but he enjoys going and seeing all the activity. Since it's only on Monday mornings Teri and I took the opportunity to take him together before school starts.

Then it was off to daycare. Since I NEVER spent not one single day in daycare I have a very poor attitude about it. On the other hand I have to work, in fact want to work so there is my dilemma. I know it is the classic working moms issue but it is very hard to leave your child in someone else's care! Let the guilt begin!We started yesterday so that he could start transitioning for short periods before I actually do start school. Plus my house is filthy and I need to play catchup for the past three months of chores, paperwork etc. that have not been attended to. Ok enough of all that -

Teri and I then went and had a nice lunch and more champagne, then came home and took a NAP!! Oh sweet sleep! We picked the boy up at 5:30 and he was fine.

For dinner Teri made me Champagne Orange Chicken with Israeli cous cous and garlic spinach. (I told you I like to have lots of champagne on my birthday!) Rick and Yvette dropped by for a quick visit and gave me a bottle of wine then I had a piece of chocolate cake and went to bed.

Overall a very quiet birthday but enjoyable!
