Nana wanted the three birthdays to be celebrated all together out to eat someplace. We hadn't really hung out as a family for years. David wasn't super supportive or comforting when Mom needed it most and she's held a grudge ever since. Not that we were ever overjoyed to visit him with his bratty brood. Anywho. Nana REALLY wanted everyone together. So for her, Mom agreed to play nice. So we all went to Sizzlers this last Saturday after Mom got off work. It actually turned out to be kinda nice with some pretty good grub considering the restaurant. The kids while older were still on the bratty and noisy side. Poor David made a question/comment as we were all leaving. "Maybe we'll do this more often?" I dunno if he meant for Mom to get out more or for the whole family getting together thing. I hope he meant the former and not the latter, cuz I think Mom still has a ways to go before she's there. I pray she gets there soon. It kills me that she voluntarily has lost a brother.
While out and about playing with Dad on the Sunday before Nana's birthday, I picked up a card and some balloons for Nana. Mom drove me after work and I'm so glad we did cuz she was surprised and so happy. :-) It wasn't a lot, but it was still nice to be able to make her smile.
For Mom's birthday.... :-) I was gonna either make a card on the computer or by hand.... Time sorta ran out on me cuz I thought it was a day earlier than it was (crappy sleep schedule will do that to ya). Luckily, I had bought her a funny/mean card earlier in the year and forgot. Well, I kinda thought I might of but I lose track of who I buy cards for in advance and who I plan to buy. Anywho, I wrote her a note, cuz I hate just signing a name to a card and leaving it at that, and I sticker-pated the envelope with some cute frog stickers I knew she'd love. She called me a brat when she read it but hugged me anyway. :-D I planned to go to bed early (for me) so I could wake before Mom got off work. I woke a lil late, but not too late. After a shower, Mom and I got ready to watch some movies. :-) I can't give her much but it was nice to give her my time and some silliness. We watched both Expendables movies. Great fun with lots of cool action and some funny lines to boot. :-) Also, Mom had to go into the office on Tuesday to take a test in order to get a promotion and she found out on her birthday that she had passed. :-D All in all, Mom had a good day. :-)
I intend to buy a card to mail Uncle David when I go with Dad on Sunday. Though maybe it's a little too late for that. I guess I could make a card and mail it out tomorrow, but even that won't make it in time. Le whoops. E-card it is, I guess.
