So. lemme tell you about my birthday....
We're/I'm just not really big on birthdays, so I was OK with the nutso schedule. I'm still OK. We still haven't done cards/cake etc. I'm thinking early breakfast tomorrow.... mebbe.... oh no wait, no way hebe will be rouseable....
My friend Mary gave me a gorgeous purple origami construction. And refused to let me pay for breakfast, even though it was my turn.
But service was so-so, and it was right by the boys' school where my scrip order was waiting and a surprise visit to Thor's classroom never hurts.... (and, it turns out, was perfectly timed).... so I got home late, so not time to prepare for scrip store or go to the real pep rally, especially when I remembered Hebe was supposed to have candy to throw at the homecoming parade and I saw that school-colored beads and facepaint and outrageous hair accessories were order of the day for homecoming.... So I swerved by the dollar store to take care of those needs. And I made it to the scrip store on time. Except I forgot the damn scrip (I had taken it out of my bag to do a stock count and forgotten to put it back.....) ah well.
After that, off to get pizza and investigate the new sports store while pizza cooks. then dash to school, find Hebe to give her dollar store crap (she loves me) and pizza (ditto), meet beest and watch parade.
Watch first ever (American) football game. Get points for bringing butt cushions and blankets for family. Is homecoming game against nearest local rival, and our first with all 4 grades.
Why did they build a field where goals at one end result in ball in swamp and at the other, ball on concession/bathroom roof? netting, maybe?
Intense back-and-forth game ends with 3 point victory. for them. But all decided on the last play. At 0.01 left, our guy fumbles and drops the pass in the end zone. (did I say that right?) Woulda been 6 points if he caught it.
